Elisa dropped the pen she was holding and turned around slowly. In front of her was one of the most beautiful men she had ever seen. His eyes and hair were dark and he was dressed in the style of the ancient Egyptians-a linen kilt with metal armbands and a collar where she could clearly make out lapis and carnelian. She glanced at the body of the mummy and then at the figure in front of her. Even in death, the features were unmistakable. Elisa felt her heart racing and her mouth go dry.

Elisa dropped the pen she was holding and turned around slowly. In front of her was one of the most beautiful men she had ever seen. His eyes and hair were dark and he was dressed in the style of the ancient Egyptians-a linen kilt with metal armbands and a collar where she could clearly make out lapis and carnelian. She glanced at the body of the mummy and then at the figure in front of her. Even in death, the features were unmistakable. Elisa felt her heart racing and her mouth go dry. All of the blood drained from her face and left a cold tingling behind. It was jet lag.Had she eaten today? Maybe she'd fallen asleep while she was reading. She'd always had an overactive imagination. Her mouth moved, but no sound came out. The figure in front of her watched all of this without comment but suddenly he smiled. "Hello." And Dr. Elisa Kent fainted for the first time in her life. Elisa Kent has landed her dream job as an Egyptologist in the world's most renowned museum identifying mummies. While she's used to dealing with the dead, she's not used to one of their spirits still hanging around after 4,000 years. Neferamun, the ghost of an ancient vizier, sends her on a quest for a missing piece of himself so that he may finally find peace in the underworld. But when all the time they spend together turns into something more, Elisa will have to decide if she'll run or finally face her fear of being left behind.
