With her family in danger, Gillian will do anything to protect them, so she dons a disguise and sets out to haunt her home herself. Her plan might have worked, had her first tantalizing target not revealed more than she bargained for.?

HE'D RATHER BE DEAD THAN WED.

Handsome as the devil but with a scoundrel's heart, Jake Delaney has come to Rowanclere Castle to locate a missing historical treasure, not find a wife. When a gorgeous "ghost" visits his bedchamber, his curiosity -- among other things -- is aroused. Unaware that his probing might lead to both mayhem and marriage, he vows to discover her secrets before leaving the Highlands. His plan might have worked, too, had he not been haunted by visions of a seductive Scottish sprite and the dream that a man's castle could somehow become his home.

The Kissing Stars (Sonnet Books)

Description

Geralyn Dawson pens poignant historical romances brightened by laughter, glistening with tears, and offering "pure reading enjoyment" (Laurel Gainer, "Affaire de Coeur)." Now, she takes readers to a little town deep in the heart of Texas, where mysterious stars light the way for a long-separated couple to find love...

A STARLIT LADY

Tess had run away from a broken heart and followed the stars right to Aurora Springs, Texas. There, halfway to nowhere and far from anywhere, she joined a dusty frontier settlement filled with eccentric dreamers and desperate searchers attracted by mysterious lights in the sky they believed were magic -- "The Kissing Stars." And she might have finally put her ill-fated marriage behind her, if only she hadn't taken a greased pig to the state fair....

A DOWN-TO-EARTH MAN

The pig knocked railroad investigator Gabe Montana down; seeing his ex-wife for the first time in forever laid him out flat. Then her revelation that the divorce had never happened stole his breath away -- that and the secrets he saw shining in her eyes. Now he has traced his runaway wife to Aurora Springs, a place where the most extraordinary things are happening. A place where a man haunted by tragedy might find redemption and a hurting woman might find healing...if they put the past behind them...and if they allow The Kissing Stars to light their way to love.

As if this weren't enough, who should also be back in town but Max Cooper, the former high school football star, who is my teenage son's father. And now he wants to date me?!
Who ever thought that so many new horizons and second chances would open for me during one long, hot Texas summer?
