Fate's Journey

Collectibles aficionado Tess McAlister loves the thrill of the treasure hunt. Little does she know that the purchase of a dilapidated steamer trunk at a local auction will change her past, present and future more than she could possibly imagine. An unexpected discovery inside its confines sends her on a journey to solve a rather obscure but compelling mystery. She travels to England where she enlists the help of frustratingly aloof Justin Maxwell, a history professor at prestigious Oxford University. What he uncovers gives Tess the shock of her life and leads her to Ashton Place, a centuries-old manor that she hopes will provide the answers she is looking for. Along with the assistance of Edward Hall, the manor's former caretaker, they stumble upon a dangerous secret during their quest, one that may threaten their burgeoning relationship -and their lives.
