Archeologist Minarra Hunt is on a quest to find the ancient city of Shera-Sa, older than Egypt and buried deep in the desert by a curse. The last thing this feisty explorer wants is to give up control of the expedition to the one-time love of her life, gorgeous fellow archeologist Seth "Mac" Macallister, who dumped her six years ago.

Minarra challenges his authority and finds herself over Mac's knee, as well as back in his bed. The harder she fights, the more her body yearns for the kind of loving only he can give her. Mac wants to forget, but every time he sees her, he is driven by the need to bind and possess this exciting woman.

Minarra is being lured in her dreams by the ancient ghost of the last ruler of Shera-Sa, who seeks her soul as fuel to foment his return to earthly power.

It is clear that Minarra and Mac love one another, but they are each carrying dark secrets that are keeping them apart.

Yet only together can they defeat the demons that are trying to destroy them all.
