"A beautiful reincarnation romance"
Darcy Kincaid is half-English and half-Egyptian, which
makes her a pariah in Victorian England where bloodlines
are most important. Her grandmother wants Darcy to marry
an Englishman, produce heirs, and ignore her tainted
Egyptian heritage. Rather then take the easy way out,
Darcy is determined to earn enough money to pay for her
passage to Egypt. She is working on writing a collection
of Egyptian stories that she hopes will get published and
she accepts the position of secretary to Dr. Simon Garrett,
writing a book on the derivation of words. When she first arrives at Rosewood Hall, Simon wants to
dismiss her because he expected a male but Darcy's typing
skills persuades him to give her a chance. From the very
beginning Simon and Darcy are attracted to one another as
if they knew each other in another lifetime. Both try to
fight the attraction but neither are successful yet if they
are to find any happiness, they must fight the evil that
dwells within their midst. J.A. Ferguson has written a beautiful reincarnation romance
starring two lovers who must fight and win against an old
enemy if they are to have a second chance at life and love.
Set against a mid-Victorian English background, Call BACK
YESTERDAY is a gothic ghost tale that will appeal to lovers
of romance that have a strong dose of the paranormal in the
plot. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Darcy Kincaid wants only to return to Egypt where she was
born, but to earn the money, she takes a position as a
secretary to Dr. Simon Garnett. Simon doesn't expect the
Darcy coming to his home near Dartmoor to be a woman, for
in late Victorian England, a secretary is usually a man.
Their first meeting is uneasy because he wants to send her
back to London and she desperately needs the
position. . .and they seem to know each other. How is that
possible because they have never met? Yet they have this
intimate knowledge of each other -- the knowing of the
sweetness of their kisses, the rediscovery of the pleasure
of their caresses. The answer may be in the lights that
guard Darcy or the ones that haunt the garden or in the
story she is writing -- the story of two tragic lovers in a
distant yesterday. They must discover the truth before
history replays itself and they are lost to each other
forever
