Product Description
The bestselling author of Prince of Shadows and Twice a Hero again displays her incredible talent and imagination in an enchanting new romance about a love so deep it will bring a man and a woman together...in another century, another life.
Jesse Copeland, an expert in mountain rescues, has returned to Manzanita after years in the Peace Corps. Despite an indomitable courage that sent her rappelling down cliffs, she is haunted by the nightmares and shadowy half-memories surrounding her mother's mysterious death. Now she is determined to find out if her mother's "accident" was murder. What she finds instead is a man as transparent as air--sensual, muscular, his blue eyes burning into hers as she cries out one word from a place deep within her: David.
David Ventris, Lord Ashthorpe, late of His Majesty's Light Dragoons, is, simply put, a ghost. He's waited two centuries to be called back to earth by the woman he wronged. He knew her as "Sophie," a wondrous lady who sparked a passion so blazing that time could not dim the flames. Now he is being given the chance to guard her from danger and get back his soul--if only she will believe him real and not madness. If only she will love him enough to create a miracle...and give him life again.
Amazon.com Review
Known for her supernatural romances, Susan Krinard combines an intriguing ghost as hero with two sets of characters, one the reincarnation of the other, to create a refreshing story of redemption through love in Body & Soul. Jesse Copeland, struggling to understand a childhood trauma that left her an orphan, and threatened by the return of a man she reviles, unconsciously summons up David Ventris, who died 200 years ago in the Battle of Waterloo. David, who can take full physical form, betrayed Jesse in an earlier life and seeks her forgiveness. Krinard deftly shows these characters becoming more fully realized people as they deal with heavy emotional baggage (some of it a couple centuries old!) while also confronting a very real villain and discovering a love that's powerful enough to forgive any transgression. An original, well-written love story with many satisfying surprises. --Ellen Edwards
