This is the only Maggie Lyons historical romance set outside the South.
In 1889, wealthy, sheltered Amanda Barkley makes the most daring decision of her life when she abandons New York City society for exotic Cairo. Her taste for adventure is whetted when she meets dashing soldier of fortune, Sean O'Rourke and discovers a world of passion among the splendors of ancient Egypt. O'Rourke escaped a life of poverty in Ireland to search the Dark Continent for treasure, never dreaming his quest would include a jewel named Amanda.
Will their romance be as timeless as the Nile itself or crumble like the desert sands?
Author's Note: After a 1999 cruise up the Nile, I was inspired to set aside the usual Southern settings and take my characters to Egypt. Since what I saw was vastly different from what my Victorian characters experienced, I read the journals of someone who was there at the appropriate time, none other than Florence Nightingale!
