Barbara Cartland

Life for Doreen Wallis had reached its lowest point, child of a father who had been cashiered from his Regiment, and a querulous mother, she had been brought up rootless and insecure in Cairo. Pepi, rich and more than twice her age, had married her. But Pepi had died and the estate had gone to the legal wife Doreen had never known about. For a while it had seemed that Tony, eligible, handsome and amusing, might rescue her. But he had gone away, leaving her to despair. Doreen wanted marriage, with a secure and loving home. But who would have her if he knew her past? Then, suddenly, there came a bizarre opportunity-to change places with a dead girl. To start a new life. A life that still was not to be easy or secure, but a life that would finally lead to happiness. Dared her to assume a virtuous new role as the drab and priggish cousin she so closely resembled? Would her shrewd and tyrannical grandmother see through the disguise? Could she carry off the deception, if she was tempted by a rich man's charms? Could she ever find true love if she was living a lie? With the courage of despair, Doreen became her hated cousin, and learned the unexpected lessons of love.

However, when unexpected danger arrives in their small town, Noah knows this is a woman worth fighting for. Worth fighting beside. And he's going to be the one to do it. She needs a hero.

"Book two in the Angelic Letters Series, Another Angel of Love is a heartrending love story with tremendous emotional depth. Beautifully moving...delving deeper into the serious realities of life and love. It was as if Jenny had vanished from the face of the earth. Two years after she and her family moved out of Henry's life, Henry still longs for her, their whirlwind romance gone from his life but not his heart. He was certain she would respond to his last letter, a pewter angel tucked inside--but there have been no letters, no phone calls. Nothing. A country apart, Henry and Jenny are unaware Jenny's parents have burned all the letters but the last...it is protected, it seems, by a heavenly power. Henry continues to rely on the love, support and powerful insights of his mentor Mr. Engelmann, and his secret plan to seek Jenny out sustains the hope that one day his first love will return--until he meets Julean Carter. But is their newfound love deep enough and strong enough to overcome the heavenly touch that entwined Henry and Jenny's spirits when they first gazed into each others eyes? Another Angel of Love ... glows with moments of tenderness ... deeply inspirational ... will captivate the heart of every reader!
