The women in Camila Jiménez’s family are cursed. At least, that’s what her abuela and mother tell her. But Camila thinks they just don’t know how to let things go. When Camila decides to clean out her late tía Veronica’s junk-filled home, she discovers her aunt was investigating a centuries-old family mystery: In 1895, amidst the Cuban War of Independence, Camila’s ancestor Luisa was kidnapped by family friend Hector Álvarez, and neither were ever seen again.

Until Camila touches a photo of Luisa and Hector, and she’s suddenly there with them—in nineteenth-century Cuba.

Camila sets out to solve the mystery of what happened to Luisa and Hector in hopes it will get her back to her time. But the deeper she digs, cracks start to form not only in their isolated countryside mansion, but in Luisa and Hector’s story. Hector isn’t an evil kidnapper, but a passionate revolutionary who ignites a new kind of fire in Camila. The closer they become, the closer Camila gets to finding the truth—but some secrets demand to stay buried.
