“Is anyone excavating anything today?” one of the her group asked.
“The tomb of Rameses the Second is currently undergoing restoration, and Professor McAllister’s team is investigating a tunnel leading from the burial chamber of Senhotep the First.”
“What are they hoping to find?”
She turned in the direction of the new voice but knew who it was, even before she spotted him. The man she’d met the previous day was standing at the back of her group.
Okay, now she’d show him she knew her facts.
‘Her Only Option’ was released at the beginning of November by
Whiskey Creek Press, and is available on Amazon.
My first reviewer says “(Paula) has penned a wonderful tale incorporating a unique story line, romance and just the right amount of conflict for her characters. This is definitely a must read by the brilliant author Paula Martin.”
Blurb: Neve Dalton loves her job as a tour guide on a River Nile cruise ship as much as she values her independence. She isn’t ready to settle down with her Egyptian boyfriend, despite his repeated proposals and his father’s desire to see him married.
Nor is she ready to meet Ross McAllister, a compelling and fascinating archaeologist.She struggles against her growing attraction to him until she can no longer ignore what her heart is telling her. This is the man who sets her soul on fire.
When she starts receiving cryptic messages, and Ross’s work in the famous Valley of the Kings is threatened, Neve has to make a heart-breaking and life-changing decision which she feels is her only option.
Can they discover whose enmity is forcing them apart before it’s too late?

ReplyDeleteOh, I love your writing style, Paula!! I would happily continue reading. In fact, when I realised I'd come to the end of the snippet I got a bit of a jolt!
ReplyDeleteLove a gal who knows her facts and isn't afraid to show it. But there's something else for her to consider here, he's so got under her skin and that will most certainly lead to entertaining trouble. I love it.
