Beatrix and Will were engaged, but the relationship broke up just before their wedding, when she decided she couldn't accompany him to Egypt to pursue his life's dream of discovering King Tut's tomb. It's years later now; Will's now a Duke (10 points!) and he's back in England seeking funding for his expedition. Beatrix is now engaged to another Duke (another 10 points! This is a high-scoring book on the title-meter). Will Will, still smitten, be able to rekindle their old love? Will Beatrix be able to drop her stuffy persona and be the adventuress Will really needs? Oh, Will, Will, Will! This was a fun read with obvious sequel bait (not to mention, that, depending on where you look, this is either first or second in a series! Oh the confusion).
