Chance of a Lifetime (Providence Falls Series, 1)

Outlander meets The Lake House (movie) in this epic love story that crosses continents and centuries. Master storyteller Jude Deveraux joins forces with up and coming author Tara Sheets to create a series that will appeal to women's fiction and romance readers alike. A rogue thief in 1840s Ireland is sent by angels to a contemporary small town in America to make amends for his crimes in the past. Forbidden to tell anyone why he is there he must convince the woman he loves to marry another man or be damned for eternity.

Liam O'Connor's soul is up for judgment and the angels are ready to condemn him. A thief and a rogue in 1840's Ireland, Liam unwittingly altered the fates of many when he fell in love with Cora McLeod and she ran off with Liam rather than marry her intended, Finn. Now he must make amends so that everyone he impacted meets their intended fates. Liam is sent to the small town of Providence Falls where no one knows him but he knows everyone from their past lives. He has three months to ensure that contemporary Cora, now a police detective, falls in love with Finn a kind and quiet lawyer. But Liam's passion for Cora is as strong as it was in centuries past and the temptation to be with her again is overpowering and the chemistry between them undeniable. Told in dual timelines, readers will discover what happened to Liam and Cora in their past lives and will wait breathlessly to discover why it is so important that their futures are altered. Both a contemporary love story and an historical mystery with an element of magical realism make this genre mash up an irresistible listen for Jude's fans and for new fans alike.
