First Love
Time Travel Thriller in Ancient Egypt Everyone remembers their first love, especially if it wasn't reciprocated. But how many can claim that their first love was a ghost! Fifteen-year-old Rosa doesn't see dead people; she hears them and talks to them. When she agrees to help the ghost of King Tut find his lost love and clear his family's name, she doesn't count on falling for him. And since part of Hesena's soul lives inside of hers, Rosa feels guilt at her growing feelings for the Boy King. Once back in Ancient Egypt, they discover that finding Tut's queen is not easy. An evil pharaoh is determined to stop them. She and Tut must outwit him even if it means they both must die.
Book Excerpt
Sons of the Sphinx
Chapter 4
“Roosa.”
I struggle to open my eyes. Where am I? Home? Did I faint? Oh, my aching head.
“Roosa. Wake up. Time is fleeing.”

“Roosa.” More urgently this time.
My eyes open. He’s still here, kneeling beside my bed, his bronze hand gently but firmly patting mine.
“You are awake. Good. We must prepare to leave at once.”
Whoa there. Is this guy crazy as well as good-looking? What’s he talking about?
“I’m not going anywhere,” I say as I sit up. Particularly with a ghost.
“But you must. You are my only hope.”
