In a land of ancient gods, the most dangerous power is desire.

Dr. Samantha Wells didn't earn her reputation as archaeology's most daring Egyptologist by playing it safe. When a cryptic papyrus reveals clues to the location of the legendary Scarab of Isis, an artifact said to grant immortality to its possessor, she's on the first flight to Sudan. Armed with academic credentials, unwavering determination, and a stubborn disregard for State Department warnings, Sam is certain this find will cement her place in history.

What she doesn't have is a way to navigate a country in the grip of political turmoil and a river that's claimed the lives of explorers for millennia.

Khalid Bahri knows every treacherous bend of the Nile from Cairo to Khartoum. The notorious smuggler has spent a lifetime using his network of shadowy contacts and his uncanny survival skills to stay one step ahead of authorities and rival gangs. He trusts no one—especially not brash Americans with more confidence than sense who chase myths through wartorn regions.

But when extremist factions, government militia, and competing treasure hunters all converge on the same remote dig site, Sam and Khalid find themselves in an uneasy alliance navigating both the turbulent waters of the world's longest river and the shifting sands of Sudan's political landscape. From crumbling temples half-swallowed by desert to hidden tombs submerged beneath the Nile's murky depths, each step brings new dangers, and an increasingly undeniable attraction.

For Sam, who's spent her career prioritizing ancient mysteries over modern relationships, falling for a man who lives outside the law is unthinkable. For Khalid, whose survival depends on trusting no one, letting an American academic into his world—and possibly his heart, could be his deadliest mistake.

As they race against ruthless enemies who will kill to possess the scarab's power, Sam and Khalid must decide what they truly seek: an artifact that promises eternal life, or the far more terrifying prospect of risking everything for a love that has no guarantees.

Will the Scarab of Isis lead them to immortality, or to their doom?

Perfect for fans who crave exotic adventure with a side of forbidden romance, "Crescent of the Nile" delivers white-knuckle suspense and scorching chemistry against the breathtaking backdrop of ancient monuments and wild riverways. This standalone novel in Cora Price's Heart & Treasure series continues her signature blend of archaeological intrigue, pulse-pounding action, and love stories that defy all odds.

ABOUT THE SERIES

Escape to a world of stolen artefacts, secret maps, and slow-burn chemistry.

The Heart & Treasure Collection by Cora Price is your binge-read if you love romantic action–adventure, globe-trotting mysteries, and clever heroines who can outthink a curse and outclimb a rival. Each book sends you to a new, cinematic location—Egyptian tombs, Venetian palazzos, Mayan temples, desert fortresses, sunken cities—where history isn’t just background, it’s the puzzle the couple has to solve.

Written for readers who devour The Mummy, National Treasure, or Clive Cussler–style archaeology thrillers but want more heart with the high stakes, this series blends:

treasure-hunt romance
rivals-to-lovers / partners-in-danger
elite explorers, scholars, and rogues
ancient legends with modern villains
one mission, one kiss… maybe one bed

Across the series you’ll find strong, capable female leads, protective-but-respectful heroes, and antagonists who’ll do anything to own the past. Every mystery is self-contained, but the universe is connected—so you can start at Book 1: Sun God’s Heart and read straight through, or pick the artefact/world mythology that calls to you.
