"This engaging voyage into an ancient Egypt that includes power-hungry priests and hazardous treasure hunts entertains from page one. Familial intrigue heightens the tension, as does a kidnapping or two. The cast of characters is dynamic and complements the well-conceived plot." ~ 4 Stars, Susan Mobley, Romantic Times Magazine
Excerpt:
Though those words brought a lessening of Kashe’s tension, the odds
against him were eight to one. Still he intended to fight. The first of the
attackers sped toward him. Kashe waited until the man’s intentions were clear.
He slashed with his knife and a line of blood appeared on the enemy’s chest.
The man howled and retreated. Kashe moved to the side in an attempt to prevent
being encircled. He ducked a swung club. The dodge saved him from a knife
wielder. Instead of Kashe the club bashed the man with the knife.
A cat yowled. An eerie shout answered. For a moment the attackers froze.
A stranger kicked one of the enemies beneath the chin. An ally, Kashe thought.
Another attacker charged the new arrival. In a blur the man flew through the
air and slammed against the street. Kashe evaded a fist and dove forward. He
connected with an attacker’s stomach. His ally faced another of the enemy and
slashed the side of a hand against the man’s throat. Before long the eight
river men sprawled on the ground.
Kashe drew a deep breath and turned to thank his ally. He stepped over
fallen bodies. “Don’t know who you are or where you came from but you have my
thanks.”
“No problem. You were in trouble.”
His eyes widened. The new arrival was a tall beautiful woman. Her skin
was a warm brown several shades darker than his. Black hair, clipped short,
formed tight curls. Her eyes were as dark as night. Her gaze filled with
desire.
She strode toward him. Her eyes glittered and he saw her beaded nipples
press against her breast band. His body responded to her scent. He was primed
and she seemed willing.
He pulled her into his arms and pressed his mouth against hers. The touch
felt as hot as the growing season’s sun at midday. He cupped her rear. The
aroma of sweat and woman surrounded him. Her nipples tightened against his
chest. She fit against him perfectly.
She slid her arms across his shoulders and stroked the skin beneath his
warrior’s braid. He slipped a hand under the edge of her kilt and pressed her
closer. With his teeth he tugged on her lower lip and gained entrance to her
mouth. His engorged member throbbed with an urgent need for release.
The cat yowled again. Horu Ka screeched. Awareness of where he was and
what he’d been about to do slammed into Kashe. He drew a deep breath and
released her.
“Don’t stop,” she murmured.
He didn’t want to let her go but continuing wasn’t for here and now. “Not
a good idea. The river men are stirring. We must go.”
She drew a deep breath. “You’re right.” She moved away and retrieved a
bundle.
As she slid her arms through the straps moonlight glinted on the amulet
she wore. Kashe examined the medallion. “Are you one of Bast’s warriors?”
