Full Description
From ancient Egypt to present-day New Orleans, a woman of exceptional strength is called to protect against an unspeakable evil . . . and to experience an unforgettable seduction.
Khepri still isn't used to being The God's Wife. The daughter of a common farmer, she's more comfortable being friends with servants than employing a whole team of them. Lately she's had doubts about the role she's been thrust into. She's had yearnings for another sort of life, one where she's loved intimately, rather than only adored from afar.
When a powerful man lures her away from her temple, she's thrilled at the chance for an adventure. Her adventure quickly becomes a nightmare when the handsome vizier mummifies her alive, until she awakens in a distant future. Alone and needing a guide in this strange and garish new world, she turns to the troubled man who set her free . . .
When New Orleans police detective Justin Henry Boucher is called to the Garden Museum to investigate stolen Egyptian artifacts, it's not exactly the adrenaline rush he used to get working a homicide. But with a reprimand on his record and a sorrow he can't shake, he will take what he can get—as long as he can keep his badge. What he doesn't count on is having to keep his cool when he finds one of the priceless artifacts—a golden-skinned goddess wrapped in fabric like a mummy, left to die and needing his help. She's a mystery he's determined to unravel. She might also be the cure for his lonely heart.
