Passport To The Past

"Charleston, South Carolina," Antiques connoisseur Tess McAlister loves the thrill of the flea-market treasure hunt. Little does she know that her acquisition of a dilapidated old trunk at an auction will give her more adventure than she could possibly imagine. An unexpected discovery inside the trunk sends Tess on a journey to solve a two-hundred-year-old mystery, one that will become near and dear to her heart. She travels to England where she enlists the help of the incredibly attractive, but frustratingly aloof Justin Maxwell, a professor at prestigious Oxford University. But what Justin uncovers gives Tess the shock of her life and leads her to Ashton Place, a centuries-old manor that holds many of the answers to her questions. Along with Edward Hall, the manor's old caretaker, Tess and Justin stumble upon a deadly secret, one that may threaten their burgeoning relationship-and their lives.
