Summary
The trouble started with Marian’s phone buzzing.
Push alerts from the New York Times, Page Six, People, and, God help her, TMZ.“Billionaire Heir in Newport Love Nest with TV Star Susan Blaine”
“Lawrence Russell, 29, Linked to Married TV Anchor 30 Years His Senior”
“Scandal at RussellCorp: Family in Damage Control After Affair Revealed”
Marian’s eyes widened as she tapped one. The article unfurled in garish detail. With equally garish photographs.Her stomach twisted with something that was half disbelief and half… something else she couldn’t name.
Buzz. Another notification. This one wasn’t from a news app but a text.
Larry: Come over.
___________________________________He’s a billionaire’s son with a scandal, she’s his best friend and sick of getting set up on blind dates with every self-absorbed hedgefund manager in New York. When Larry’s dating disaster goes viral globally, he turns to Marian, his most reliable partner in crime, for a little help. Pretending to be the perfect couple sounds simple enough… until late-night texts, accidental kisses and social media fans start making them question if “fake” might just be the most real thing they’ve ever felt.

Summary
Marian Brook wants nothing more than to make a name for herself, and the only way to do that is to make a worthwhile discovery in the lost city of Hamunaptra. Imagine her surprise when the only person who can help her is Larry Russell - a man who's supposedly been missing for three years, but is in Cairo, alive and well.
Larry's keeping secrets, and agrees to take Marian and her cousin, Oscar, to Hamunaptra, so long as they don't tell his family he's alive. It brings him back to the place he never wanted to return to - but if he can keep the woman he's dreamt of for three years safe, he's pretty much willing to do anything.
Oscar? Oscar just wants to find treasure.
None of them imagined they would unearth a three thousand year old curse. But now it's up to them to save the world... and they have no idea how.
Or, "The Mummy" (Larian's Version)
