Still Close to Heaven
by Maureen Child
Jackson Tate is about as useful a ghost as he was a man. He had one job to do - save the girl, then wipe her memory - and he loused it up! Oh, he rescued sweet Rachel Morgan, all right, but instead of making her forget him, he made a promise he never intended to keep. He told her he'd come back to her one day. How was he to know that the child would grow into a beautiful, lonely woman, saving herself for a man who didn't exist? Now, at 25, she's a spinster, determined to go through life alone.That will never do! Rachel must marry so she can have the daughter destined for great things. So Jackson's bosses on high give the rogue ghost one last chance - if he can find a husband for Rachel, they'll let Jackson move on to Heaven. If not...After years of waiting, Rachel has given up on love. Until Jackson mysteriously reappears, still so darkly handsome, he takes her breath away. He claims he's a ghost, but his kisses feel hauntingly real, and his hands feel solid as they caress her eager body. Jackson had no idea what a temptation the innocent beauty would be. He must resist - he had his chance at life, now it's Rachel's turn. To give her the life she deserves, he must not give in to her pleas. or to his own yearnings. Even though he's beginning to suspect that Heaven couldn't compare to the paradise he might find in her arms.
