Bella Jones is determined to get the legacy her father told her about on his deathbed, but she is uncertain as to how to go about it until she gets a visit by the Countess of Milford. With the countess's help, Bella gets a job helping to catalogue artifacts for the Duke of Aylwin. She hopes that looking through the artifacts will uncover the map that her father left her.

Having become the Duke at a young age, Miles does everything in his power to make his dead father proud of him. Top on his list is getting the artifacts that the former duke got Egypt catalogued and organized. Not wanting another person his his life, he is intrigued enough with Bella upon meeting her that her hires her to help. It also helps that she is the daughter of his former mentor and he is also looking for answers.

What happens when Miles finds out the real reason that Bella is working for him? Do his feeling for her outway the lies she has told?

I really enjoyed this story. I'm a huge fan of Ancient Egypt so it was very interesting to have the history of the country play a part in the storyline. The interaction between the H/H was interesting to read as neither trusted the other. But as they spent more and more time together, their attraction for each other won out and they ended up working together to solve both of their mysteries.

I can't wait to see what Drake has in store for us next!
