Book excerpt: Jesse Coleson had one goal...acquire the old inn and keep her real estate firm afloat with the commission. What she wasn't expecting was a car accident, an attractive single father, an interfering guardian angel, and a sudden limit to her time on earth. Luke Benson shut his inn down a year ago with no intention of opening its doors to the public. But when he pulls a mysterious woman from her sunken car, and an old foe reappears, he's forced to question what life and loss really mean. Can they learn the true meaning of life together, or will the past and heavenly forces pull them under?
