A Pursuit of Home
In early 1800s England, Jess Beauchene has spent most of her life in hiding and always on the move in an effort to leave her past far behind her. But when she learns the family she thought had died just might be alive and in danger, she knows her secrets can only stay buried for so long. Derek Thornbury loves the past, which has led him to become an expert in history and artifacts. He knows Jess has never liked him, but when she requests his help deciphering the clues laid out in an old family diary, he can't resist the urge to solve the puzzle. As Jess and Derek race to find the hidden artifact before her family's enemies, they learn as much about each other as they do about the past. But can their search to uncover the truth and set history right lead to a future together?

4.5 starsWell, I didn't think that was going to be Jess's huge secret past! I loved how vibrant she is in this story and the various twists and turns the story takes to get to the happy ending. A lost brother rediscovered, and a chance to solve all the royal issues in her family by finding a lost artifact. At first Derek is along “just because of” his interest in the artifact finding and the puzzle to find it, but pretty quickly it's clear that he's getting addicted to feisty and quick-spoken Jess.I really enjoyed the treasure-hunt aspect and the travels through the English countryside. It was fun to see characters from [b:A Noble Masquerade 24856069 A Noble Masquerade (Hawthorne House, #1) Kristi Ann Hunter https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1424045822l/24856069.SY75.jpg 44502943] again and catch up on their lives briefly.Thanks to the publisher for a free reading copy.
