Julia Covington can barely breathe. The moment she touches the ancient White Star amulet, she knows it's the real deal. Good thing she — a serious antiquities expert — doesn't believe in curses.

Then Julia and Alex discover they've been trapped. Alone. Together. Underground. He thinks he's caught a second chance. But will forty-eight hours be enough time to convince her and save themselves?
