The dark lord : book four of The oath of empire

Fay Rae has spent her life protecting her sister Angie from a family secret. When she inherits a house from her mentor, Thomas Gregory, she discovers he may have been murdered, and that the souvenir deck of cards from her Egyptian vacation may be the Forbidden Tarot, able to call forth a demon. With the cards come two men. Dangerously appealing Simeon with his promise of a better life, and Thomas' son Michael, a brooding, wounded man whom she secretly loved as a girl. Soon, Rae and her sister find themselves in danger, and Rae must face her darkest fear. But this time she refuses to be a helpless victim in the grip of a "giant beast". . . The Dark Lord of the tarot has arrived. Rae must figure out who he is and how she can stop him before she loses her heart, her sister, and her life. Rae Lambers is over the moon when she inherits half a house from her mentor, Thomas Gregory. The property is a gorgeous Victorian on an island in San Francisco Bay. But the house comes with a snag. The other half has been bequeathed to Thomas Gregory’s son Michael, a man she carried a torch for during high school. The last thing Rae needs is a brooding old flame that refuses to play nice. But she and Michael must put aside old wounds when they discover Thomas Gregory might have been murdered—and the souvenir deck of cards from her Egyptian vacation could be the reason the old man is dead. Despite early victories, Rome is now hard-pressed. Now the new Emperor of Persia marches on Egypt. But there is a faint glimmer of hope. The Emperor Galen's brother is a great sorcerer. His loyalty to the empire is strong, and he will face the Dark Lord, alone, if he must. When her sister opens a deck of cards known as The Forbidden Tarot, freeing the demon Typhon imprisoned in the paper prison, Fay Rae Lambers joins forces with a sexy architect (her childhood sweetheart) and a psychic to save her sister, defeat Typhon, and find true love
