The Cinnamon Garden

Kemet (Egypt) 2969 B.C.E.

Imi is in dire straits. Unless she marries, she'll be destitute and unable to continue her father's legacy as a renowned perfumer. But she must choose wisely, for her husband will control her entire fortune. There's only one person she can turn to for help – her former betrothed. She's too embarrassed to tell him the whole truth, though, and she certainly can't be wasting time thinking about what might have been.

When Nehesy returns home after several years abroad, he intends to leave again as soon as he sees his own estranged, and now-deceased, father interred. But he finds himself once again caught up in trouble created by his former betrothed. In the process of helping her, he might just discover more about himself – and his family – than he ever expected.

When the truth comes out, will it tear Imi and Nehesy apart again, or finally bring them together forever?
