From jacket: Too plain to be noticed, too proud to try, Gwen, sister of the ton's most sought-after lord, has given up on love...until a most unusual gentleman appears just in time to save her from an oncoming coach-and-four. Gwen isn't sure she should trust her very handsome, very mysterious rescuer, even though he is clearly a man of fine breeding. How is she to know he is also a ghost?

Valerian Caine has had his surfeit of eternity. A century earlier, the Georgian rake was cut down in the prime of his wicked life with pistols at dawn. But now he has been granted a second chance: he may return to the world of the living if he puts to rights the errors of his past...and all before Christmas Day! How is this scoundrel to know that the key to heaven on earth is hidden deep in the heart of one remarkable woman?

I really enjoyed this tale. Lots of plot with twists and turns and more than one couple to live happily ever after! ( )
