About this ebook

Caitlyn Larrabee was a modern woman before she died. Now she's an angel in waiting. Offered a chance to have a happy life back on Earth if she can answer a deserving man’s Heart Wish, she agrees to travel back in time to meet the man who needs her as much as she needs him. Of course, there are rules. She has just seven days to get Lucas Ramsey, a bonafide cowboy, to fall in love with her. And she can’t tell anyone, especially her new husband, that she’s an angel. On top of all that, she must avoid, at all costs, the Angel Hunters that will be stalking her -- or risk losing not only her angel powers, but Lucas.

Breaking horses for the Army and running cattle on a ranch doesn't keep the darkness at bay for Lucas Ramsey. He's ready to start over. Try again after losing his wife and children to influenza six years ago. So he sends for a mail-order bride.

When Lucas meets Caitlyn he knows she’s special but he can’t put his finger on why. She’s beautiful, yes, but it’s more than that. Little does he know that her time is limited. When he realizes her very life is in danger, he will do whatever it takes to save her.

They may find true love and their happily ever after, but not without sacrifice. Courage. And a love so powerful even a Heart of Stone will beat again.

✳️✳️ONE EXTRAORDINARY DELIGHT✳️✳️ Blazing britches boo! Cynthia has totally outdone herself, serving up one sensationally bewitching, incredibly tantalizing, delectably delicious, heavenly delightful, tilt-our-world throwdown, delivering this enticingly magical whirlwind, blowing this little number to staggering heights. A churning edy full of devious schemes and vicious iniquity run rampant, brimming with such captivating drama, riveting intrigue, underlying threats, brutal tactics, spiraling suspense and intense situations converge, exhibiting the mischievous quirks and defying bents, secrets are shared and revelations are disclosed, putting our characters through their paces, bursting this jewel to life spectacularly. Pelted perimeters and crumbling barriers solidify as restrictions are expanded and tested, mindful of the daunting struggles and thrilling triumphs, while cognizant to the dramatic twists and stunning turns spreading, merging this gem together seamlessly. The characters banter, dialogue, interactions and charged atmosphere along with relatable qualities and individual traits, balances fluidly, adding depth and diversity, transforming into charismatic personalities. The well rounded scenarios are graphically descriptive with colorful details so abundantly vivid, creating a majestic backdrop that's so rich and lively it feels as though you're part of the story instead of on the sidelines, feeling everything the characters feel. Exceptional job Cynthia, thanks for sharing this awesome little gem with us.

This book made me smile and almost cry; once I started reading, I couldn't stop until the end. Two lost souls who both suffered so much loss are brought together by a 'heart wish' and must find love and happiness in a short amount of time. Will they be able to open their hearts and embrace the possibilities? Caitlyn is in Heaven in 'limbo' because she was killed by her husband. Gabriel tasks her with returning to Earth to fulfill a 'heart wish' and if she succeeds she just might be able to stay on Earth. Lucas is a rancher in 1880's Colorado who lost his wife and two sons to influenza and spent two years hiding in a bottle. He has since pulled himself out and is making his ranch a success. His pastor has talked him into sending for a mail-order bride and so arrives Caitlyn. Caitlyn and Lucas are truly a match made in Heaven, but will it be enough for them both to find the happiness that they so richly deserve? Caitlyn also has a secret mission that she must also accomplish and it could also interfere with her future with Lucas. I dare you to read this story and not be touched by it.

I enjoyed this story. Not what I expected yet charming.

About the author

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Cynthia Woolf is the award-winning and best-selling author of fifty-six historical western romance books and two short stories with more books on the way. She has also published six sci-fi, space opera romances, which she calls westerns in space. Along with these books she has also published four boxed sets of her books.

Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance Tame A Wild Heart, was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia's father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place in Creede that is the only similarity between the stories. Her father was a cowboy, not a bounty hunter, and her mother was a nursemaid (called a nanny now), not the ranch owner.

Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband Jim and her great critique partners for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity.
