Still Close to Heaven

by Maureen Child

Overview

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.

About the Author

USA Today best selling author Maureen Child is the author of more than ninety romance novels and novellas. Maureen is a five time nominee for the prestigious Rita award from Romance Writers of America.

One of her novels, A POCKETFUL OF PARADISE, was made into a CBS-TV movie called The Soul Collector, starring Melissa Gilbert, Bruce Greenwood and Ossie Davis.

Maureen was not only on the Texas set to watch her characters come to life in front of the cameras, she was also tossed into the last scene by her husband and the producer, who both thought this would be a fun way to humiliate an author!

When her kids were small, Maureen started writing as not only a way to stay sane, but in the hopes of finding a job she could do and stay at home with them. Sanity is still an issue, but she did manage to write her way into a career she wouldn't trade for anything.

Over the years, she's written under lots of different names and she prefers the term 'pseudonym' to 'alias'. As Ann Carberry, she wrote western historical romances. As Kathleen Kane, she wrote not only Americana romances, but western paranormal romances as well. As Sarah Hart, she wrote one really spectacular western paranormal that is still one of her favorites. And once, Ann Carberry even wrote a Victorian historical which she absolutely loved doing.

Under her own name, Maureen writes short contemporary novels for Silhouette Desire--books she loves to write because of their fast pace and condensed story telling.
