Romance

Kane, Kathleen

Paranormal

St. Martin's Paperbacks

He was a rogue of a ghost. Jackson Tate was a ghost. Since he wasn't good enough for heaven, and wasn't bad enough for, well..."the other place," his spirit was trapped in a run-down saloon in the Washington Territory. But then he had a chance to start earning his shot at heaven. All he had to do was rescue a little girl, and make sure that she forgot all about him. The first part was easy, but somehow the second part just didn't get done, and Jackson found himself haunting the same old bar. She loved a man who didn't exist. In the fifteen years since Rachel Morgan last saw the "angel" who brought her to safety, she'd grown to womanhood. Having given her heart to the heavenly being, she has no desire to marry a mortal man. But destiny has plans for Rachel's unborn daughter, so the errant spirit is granted a new mission...and another chance for salvation. Jackson has a month in mortal guise to find a good husband for Rachel, convince her to marry and make himself scarce. But can a ghost from her past give her the future she's dreamed of? Or will he disappear again, this time forever?

Still Close to Heaven

Love was the death of her. Tracy Hill has lived eight lives-- all of them disastrous-- beginning in 1320 when her own knight in shining armor charged over her with his horse in the dark. Since then, it has been one freak accident after another. Now after the indignity of dying in a bowling ball accident while on a date with a cute new lawyer in her firm, Tracy Hill has had enough. However, Heaven's "Resettlement Committee" has other plans. For her ninth life, she is promised health, wealth, and absolutely no chance at love, this time around. But they leave out one tiny, little detail: she's being sent to live in Montana, on a cattle ranch in 1875. At least they got the No More Love part right. Seth Murdoch is dangerously attractive-- if you like the rugged cowboy type. Thankfully, Tracy doesn't. It's soon clear, though, that this thoroughly modern woman and this nineteenth-century cowboy share more than growing desire, spitfire backtalk, and nights of sleepless longing. They share a star-crossed eternity. And maybe-- just maybe-- this time around, love... and Tracy, are here to stay.

Setting: Wyoming, 1880 Sensuality Rating: 6  Acclaimed author Kathleen Kane whips up a winning recipe of humor,  romance, and a dash of the supernatural in Wish upon a  Cowboy. Hannah Lowell, daughter of a renowned family of  witches, despairs of ever developing her witchcraft skills in  order to ward off the advances of a power-hungry warlock. When her  Aunt Eudora convinces her that she must marry Jonas Mackenzie, the  only surviving member of a once-powerful Crafters' Guild family,  Hannah heads for Wyoming. The biggest problem is that Jonas was  orphaned at an early age and has no idea that he's a warlock. And  Jonas, having already buried one wife, has no intention of  marrying again (and is determined not to become interested in the  self-proclaimed witch he finds dancing in his pasture, no matter  how pretty she is). Kane ably sets the stage for a battle royal  between a determined young lady and one crotchety cowboy. This is  one wild ride you won't want to miss! --Alison Trinkle
