Excellent!
In an effort to remove a family curse and humor her grandfather, MacKenzie Sinclair heads for the Guatamalan jungle to return an ancient amulet that her great-great grandfather, Peregrine Sinclair, had taken from the Mayan ruins of Tikal during one of his expeditions. She ends up being catapulted back in time and into the life of Liam O'Shea, Peregrine's partner and a man who never returned from the original expedition. Effective characterization propels the occasionally complex story (there is a small white-slavery subplot) from the steamy Central American jungles to the restrictive, glittering 1884 San Francisco social scene with all the grace and sensuality readers have come to expect from Krinard.
great time travel read. made me dream of sequels
