More from my latest release, “Her Only Option”, set in
Egypt. After Neve and Ross return from the tunnel to the burial chamber, he
kisses her.
Warm, sensual waves swamped her, flooding her with delicious
thrills which reached down to the centre of her being. It was intoxicating and
she wanted more, still more.
Only when her body, of its own accord, arched against him
did she break their kiss. Sudden embarrassment at her complete lack of control
made her cheeks burn.
“I—I—” She stopped, moistening her lips, not knowing what to
say.
The latest 5* review on Amazon says: I really enjoyed this -
a great blend of strong, believable characters, a compelling storyline,
bursting with mystery, intrigue, and romance ... Well researched and
beautifully set against the backdrop of the River Nile, with Egypt, both
ancient and modern, adding another, absorbing dimension to the book. Would
thoroughly recommend - takes you to another world, without leaving home!
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?
‘Her Only Option’ is available from Whiskey Creek Press and from Amazon.
