Esmerelda Sleuth, Paranormal Investigator (Book Two)

Esmerelda, pursued relentlessly by enemies in pre-civil war Virginia, faces an impossible choice: return to the future or risk her life. Her recent marriage to Lance complicates matters further. To protect her, they stage her death, leaving Lance behind while she escapes to the future.
But love knows no bounds. Lance, desperate to remain connected to Esmerelda, devises a clever solution. Beneath the floorboards of their home, he places a magic box-a conduit for their communication. Through messages written and slipped into the box, they bridge the gap between centuries.
Now, Esmerelda must unravel the clues hidden within the magic box. Her enemies still hunt her, and time is running out. As she navigates treacherous paths and uncovers long-buried secrets, she realizes that finding the box is easier said than done.
In this paranormal-romance-mystery-thriller, the past and future collide, and the magic box holds the key to their survival. Will Esmerelda unlock its secrets before it's too late?
Join her on this heart-pounding journey in "The Magic Box," the second installment of the Esmerelda Sleuth Series.
