But when her parents are killed in a car crash, Eliza’s aspirations die along with them, and she flees as far away as the insurance money can get Cairo, Egypt. There, she runs a food truck called Shawarma Warrior King. She’s a good cook and scores an exclusive contract at a dig site (unfortunately, managed by Reese).But trouble has a way of following Eliza. An accident at the dig site awakens a disgraced pharaoh called Milfonnos the Blighted One, whose delusions of grandeur have not faded in the last five thousand years. To stop him, Eliza must enlist the help of Jack Manning, a hunky security guard; Yong-Jin Hak, a mercenary; Rafi Sabbagh, a lawyer and her downstairs neighbor; and Teo Carranza, a belly-dancing thief. The group embark on a treasure hunt and heist to stop the pharaoh’s violent attack on the city. As tensions rise, Eliza finds that she has feelings for all the men—including Milfonnos.But someone in the group isn’t happy with the harem, and his motives aren’t as transparent as they seem.This story contains verbal abuse, explicit violence and gore, graphic sexual content, strong language, and more. Know the acts, events, and characters are purely fiction. less
