Description
<p>FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES<br /><br />At barely nineteen, Angelica Donovan became one of the more successful winners of the T.V. show Our Next Super Model. The world assumed she was destined for a happy, fairy tale life as ‘Angel,’ the beautiful girl who was living the dream; sadly, that wasn’t to be the case. As the years passed, she flashed her million dollar smile to all her fans and fought to stay on top in a profession where you never knew who it was safe to trust while the fashion industry took big bites out of her heart and soul. And trust was a constant challenge for Angel due to the painful childhood secret she guarded as carefully as she did her heart. As a result, she never did find her true love on earth.<br /><br />When she wakes up ‘dead’ from a heart condition a month before her thirty-fifth birthday, Angel is at first relieved to find there is no death, just a change of state, like ice to water, and then she’s scared because her biggest and most important adventure is about to begin.<br /><br />Angelica is chosen to be an angel in training as a spirit guide for three souls on earth! Her assignment is to help two women to gain the courage and confidence to find, recognize and embrace the love that had eluded Angel in life. But her biggest challenge will be to save a very special little girl from the same evil experience that had poisoned Angel’s own earthly happiness and altered the course of her life.<br /><br />Will Angel be able to heal her own shattered soul in the process? And will the three souls she is guiding be able to recognize her, not as a ghostly threat, but as one of those ‘friends in high places’ we all have; the kind who often end up earning their wings.<br /><br /> </p>
Story Behind The Book
This island erotic romance is about family, or "ohana" and not leaving anyone behind. It's about what someone is willing to do to take care of people they love.
The credit card scenario in this story is true. If anyone had to endure certain credit card issuing banks and their shenanigans hopping up credit card interest at will--without a back-up plan--they could have easily suffered financial ruin.
This story inflicts that disaster on Jacey, the heroine, whose money problems grow when her grandmother struggles though a condition that requires costly medical care.
What I love about Jacey is that she doesn't take the easy way out. She doesn't jump on the bailout her fiancé, Harrison Allandt, is offering. While it might ease her financial burdens, she knows from experience the let-down she's felt from every male she's counted on.
She might have trust issues, but she never once uses the hero to advance herself, although Harry wants to do whatever it takes to make her life easier.
Both characters are flawed, but in the end, they're just perfect for each other.
