description: Sexual tension accelerates the race to unravel a complicated puzzle in the latest romantic thriller from the New York Times bestselling "mistress of adrenaline" (Booklist).
  
  AN ANCIENT LEGACY
  Luck the gods are mu smiling on Isis Magee. How else can she explain the bizarre events that have led her on a relentless high-stakes chase from Seattle to London to Cairo in search of the elusive tomb of history's beautiful and enigmatic queen Cleopatra?
  
  A HIDDEN TREASURE
  Isis has only two leads: a fragmented trail of clues offered in rare moments of lucidity by her father, a once-respected archaeologist whose last dig ended in disaster, and the unique sixth sense of sexy Lodestone agent Connor Thorne.
  
  THE PASSION OF A LIFETIME
  Connor also encountered tragedy in the Egyptian desert not long ago, and as Isis pulls him deeper into her mission to restore her father's reputation, he is secretly plotting a revenge of his own. Propelled across wild, untamed sands by vicious unknown forces, the duo is seduced into a 'thy- rinth of secret chambers. When they fear they can go no further, they surrender to their incendiary desires and discover that the prize each separately seeks may be waiting at the end of the same dangerous road.
