Ten years later, Helen Grosvenor surprisingly reconnects with her past at Cairo's most famed museum. But nothing can prepare Helen for the truth as she's confronted by an unexpected arrival who may be friend, foe... or something else entirely!
After her isolated youth, Helen fears a husband who will dominate her life. When she meets a British archaeologist, Helen wonders if she could love the easygoing man.
