Every Whispered Word — Karyn Monk

IN A CONSPIRACY OF HEARTS ...
When Lady Camelia Marshall barges uninvited into Simon Kell London laboratory with a business proposition, she finds the fam inventor not at all as she had imagined. Far from the elderly scholar expected, Kent is handsomely disheveled, surprisingly brawny, and
decidedly uninterested in helping her pursue the archaeological work of her late father that could make known to the world the stirring secrets of an ancient culture and the mysterious cave paintings of the lost Tomb of Kings.

THE SURVIVAL OF LOVE DEPENDS ON .
Though intrigued by the strikingly unconventional beauty of Lady Camelia, Kent cannot fathom leaving behind his inventions and research to scrabble in the African dirt. But while he may not grasp the magnitude of Camelia's proposition at once, someone else does--someone willing to go to dangerous lengths to stop Camelia...and anyone associated with her. Suddenly, seduced by the sun-kissed hair and bronze skin of this gifted and indomitable woman, Kent finds himself drawn into a risky adventure that will lead him to an astonishing paradise he could never have imagined.
