An archaeologist haunted by an ancient mistake falls for the mysterious stranger next door—only to discover their love story began over two thousand years ago.

Merytamun "Mary" has spent her career uncovering Egypt's past.

But after a disastrous excavation awakens something that should have remained buried, nothing feels right anymore. The stars have changed. An impossible fifth canopic jar refuses to leave her thoughts. And the mummy she uncovered seems determined to follow her home.

Then her new neighbor moves in.

Kind, handsome, and hopelessly out of his depth in New York City, Kayvon should be the perfect distraction from Mary's spiraling obsession. Between rooftop stargazing, pizza dates, museums, and Halloween costumes, falling for him feels effortless. More unsettling still, every moment together feels strangely familiar... as though they've loved each other before.

As ancient forces awaken and forgotten forces begin to stir, Mary and Kayvon discover they're connected by a history older than memory itself. To save the world from a darkness that once nearly consumed it, they'll have to uncover the truth buried beneath centuries of lies—even if it means confronting the lives they left behind.

Unmasking the Mummy is a steamy paranormal romance filled with ancient Egyptian mysteries, Persian mythology, reincarnated lovers, rooftop stargazing, museum adventures, cursed tombs, and enough sizzling chemistry to awaken the dead. HEA guaranteed.
