   Summary

   Shane Hollander has a map to Hamunaptra, a brilliant mind for dead languages, and a best friend who just stole the key to one of the greatest secrets of the archaeological world. What he doesn't have is a way across the desert.

   Enter Ilya Rozanov: a cynical ex-Legionnaire with a lethal reputation, a criminal record, and a smirk that makes Shane want to punch him or kiss him—or perhaps both.

   Together with three mysterious "lost" explorers who are far more dangerous than they let on, they embark on a race against time, ancient curses, and the ruthless ambition of Roger Crowell. Shane is looking for history; Ilya is looking for a payday. Neither of them expected to find each other.

   (aka: Heated Rivalry, but make it cinematic masterpiece The Mummy)
