The Artifact Guardians

Leila's first excavation in Egypt is off to the perfect start. Until the man who killed her father joins the team. Among whispers of a papyrus that mysteriously vanished, Leila must find clues to the whereabouts of an ancient tomb with the help of the man she can never trust. Secrets start to surface, revealing a deadly plot against them that goes back eight years to her father’s death.

Abducted and left to die in the Sahara, archaeologist Leila Sterling wakes up not knowing why she’s still alive. Leila's flame, archaeologist-turned-policeman Xander Harrison, is desperate to find his woman—before the shadowy killer strikes again.

Secrets lead to lies. Lies lead to betrayal. A bombing at the Egyptian Museum rips archaeologist Leila Sterling’s mother from her again. The murderous illegal artifact dealer, Faris Al-Rashid, claims her mother is safe but demands Leila complete a task for him if she ever wants to see her again: bring him the terrifyingly dangerous Scrolls of Lysias. If Leila fails, Faris promises to destroy both her and the man she loves. But not everything is as it seems when Leila sets out on her quest for truth and justice. Even Xander, her fiancé, has been keeping secrets.
