The Hope Chest. A glossy box, inlaid with an image of a dark-haired woman, its mysteries sealed tight for generations. Or were they?
The reclusive Maxwell Wolford, Earl of Dorsey, acquires the box—only to discover that the beautiful Lady Amanda Pratt holds the key to its secrets—and his heart.
Martina Chamberlain's boyfriend, Ryan Kinsey, is convinced the unusual box in her possession contains the secret to his research at NASA. But what Tina needs to discover is if Ryan truly wants her—or the box only she can unseal.
During her studies, scientist Sara Tolliver accidentally triggers a time machine, bringing a man named Kendar back from the future a future where women no longer exist. Little do they guess that their only hope of being together lies in Sara's old heirloom chest. As does the future of love itself

She wonders if he loves her hope chest or her.--- ¿Tomorrow¿s Promise¿ by Susan Kearney. In 2705 Mars, womanologist Kendar looks back three centuries to doomed heroine Sara, a Martian archeologist, who tried to shut down a machine that ultimately obliterated the female population.

Each tale is unique with Ms. D¿Alessandro providing a Regency; Ms. Kenner a contemporary; and Ms. Kearny a futuristic science fiction. Yet each tale is linked by fine writing that stars delightful protagonists and the overall lead the Hope Chest.--- Harriet Klausner
