I write romance because I like happy endings. One of the most famous romance movies was Ghost. The love they shared warmed my heart and made me cry, but at the end, they were still apart. No going back in time… no magic… no waking up from a bad dream…nothing. At the end of the movie, I was still sitting in my seat looking totally confused, and thinking to myself, "Wait a minute, what kind of ending is that? That sucked." I have never watched that movie again. No, give me a happy ending anytime.

Until Now…

That’s what Detective Holly Lawson James believed. Her husband and co-worker Edmond was everything a woman could want in a man and a partner; strong, warm and romantic, he filled her life and her heart with passion and joy -until a police sting went terribly wrong and abruptly took him from her and their little girl, Abby. On that day her life changed forever. Now five years later Holly has grown accustomed to being alone, a state that suits her perfectly well, because she’s sure that true love comes along only once in a lifetime…

Despite promising his wife otherwise, Tyler Green knew he would never find love again. He had watched powerlessly as cancer ravaged his beautiful Felicia. Day by day, moment-by-moment, the illness, like a thief, dragged her closer toward death and tore away big chunks of his heart. When it was finally over he was left empty and cold, but it doesn’t matter to Tyler because he’s sure that true love will never head his way again…

Still, love has a way of getting through to the stoniest of hearts and all it takes is one mischievous little girl and an unlikely meddling angel to prove them both wrong. But there is danger lurking in the shadows of their new beginning and one person’s obsession may well cause Holly to lose the most important thing in her life… her daughter!
