HER KIND OF TROUBLE

Evelyn Vaughn

SOMEONE SHOULD TELL MY ENEMIES THAT FLATTERY WILL GET THEM NOWHERE

Mysterious strangers, warnings at sword point, threats of bodily harm… all this effort to make me leave Egypt has made me more determined than ever to find the legendary Isis Cup and keep it out of the wrong hands. After all, I'm Maggi Sanger, full-time college professor, sometime grail hunter and all-around stubborn woman who won't be pushed around.

And things are getting even more complicated. The local women want my help, my exasperating ex wants me to marry him and the bad guys want me dead. It'll take some quick thinking and new allies to get me out of
Egypt
alive…

"You will not interfere in matters that do not concern you."

Even as he said it, my fingers clenched around my sword. "Well, they sure as hell concern me now." And I swung.
