Crook & Flail

Grief has brought Lucia, a young widow, to Egypt, where she hopes that the ancient ruins will provide an escape from her overwhelming loneliness. She doesn't expect to find Mark, who tries very hard to take her late husband's place in her life. Her interest in him can't erase the memory of the man she still loves more than anything, though—the man she called her Master—especially when she begins to catch haunting glimpses of Richard in the mysterious shadows of tombs and temples. And even as Mark tries to capture her heart, Lucia becomes convinced that Richard is passionately trying to communicate with her from what the ancient Egyptians called the land beyond the sunset.Publisher Note: This book has been published previously under a different title.
