In his own time, Lord Alec Wright was a bit of a rake. As the second son, the "spare heir" he did as he pleased when he pleased ,to his family's dismay. When Alec needs to repay a gambling debt, he sells an ancient Egyptian artifact, the mummified toddler of a high born Egyptian woman. For this crime, Alec was cursed with prolonged life until he returns the child's mummy to its mother.Fast forward about a hundred years, Alec believes he has finally found the mummy. The only problem is Dr. Kate Morton, who works for the museum that unknowingly has the mummy in storage. When Kate finds the child's form she is fascinated with it. Something odd happens when she comes in contact with the mummy and when she is introduced to Lord Alec Wright a very strange and attraction happens between the two.Will the child's mummy be reunited with that of its mother, and if so, will Alec's curse end? This and many more questions are answered in Caridad Pineiro's novella, Nocturnal Whispers. Caridad is a great storyteller and I really enjoyed this novella. I love how Caridad brings cultures and time together with intrigue. I only wish Nocturnal Whispers was longer.~KIMBERLY~
