About this ebook
A woman uncovers scandal, passion, and danger on an archaeological expedition in this Victorian romantic adventure by a New York Times bestseller.
From elite London society to the golden sands of Egypt . . . and the sacred places of her heart . . .
When Kat Adair plunges into the waves to rescue a drowning man, it is just the beginning of an odyssey that will sweep the fisherman’s daughter into danger and desire. Convinced she is in love with the man she saved, Egyptologist David Turnberry, she feigns amnesia, thus enabling her to linger among the highborn. Hunter MacDonald, rugged archaeologist, is wise to her little charade—and determined to protect his best friend.
Undaunted, Kat stows away on the ship carrying David and Hunter’s expedition party to the land of the pharaoh. Scandal ensues, and Hunter vows the only way to curtail this confounding woman’s schemes is to marry her. Inevitably, in the sultry heat of the desert, passions ignite. But as the secrets of the ancient tombs are revealed, terrible danger unfolds, and Kat must trust the one man willing to risk everything to save her from doom.
Praise for Reckless
“Exhilarating. . . . The story line is action-packed but brings out the English Egyptology period during the reign of Queen Victoria. . . . Fans of nineteenth century adventure romances will appreciate Shannon Drake’s tense thriller.” —Harriet Klausner

I've read this book twice and never did it state that Hunter and David are best friends. Sorry but that description of the plot bothered me. This book is very good. I did fine myself annoyed at the stubbornness of the female lead sometimes, but the emotion of the book was well written.
