Nofer has worked long and hard to win her place at the side of the Mother of Pharaoh. As Lady of Scent -- perfumer and cosmetician -- to the Royal household, she holds herself aloof from the gossip and flirtation of the Household. Then the handsome new Guard Commander, Senen, comes aboard, and her carefully built walls begin to crumble. When Senen escorts her on a mission for Pharaoh's mother, they are forced to spend a night in the Temple of Min. There, among erotic images of the God of Fertility, Nofer and Senen finally give way to the attraction that has tormented them both. And discover that there is more between them than just sensuality.
