Waiting for the next part of Bridgerton season 3 to drop? Dive into these historical romance recommendations from @HuffPost, including A VISCOUNT FOR THE EGYPTIAN PRINCESS by @HebaHelmy! bit.ly/4dEIoUt
“A Viscount for the Egyptian Princess” by Heba Helmy. Heba Helmy’s steamy novel interweaves Arabic and Egyptian culture into a lush and sweet romance that begins with a chance encounter at the Louvre in Paris. Viscount Louis Wesley is struck by more than just the beautiful art displayed within the world-famous museum, he’s also completely entranced by a woman he meets there. Thinking he’ll never see her again, he’s shocked when he arrives in Cairo to attend a royal wedding where the mysterious woman from Paris is actually the expectant bride, Princess Mervat. Louis discovers the bride-to-be and her fiancé (a close friend of his) are marrying out of family obligations and not because either of them want to. Thus, the Viscount decides he’ll help the pair escape their nuptials— for reasons not entirely selfish.
