Sneak Peek
Just Like Heaven
From Booklist
*Starred Review*
When Kate French, owner of French Kiss, a popular antiques shop, sets out to deliver some Revolutionary War
documents to a client, she feels ill, pulls her car over, and begins to lose consciousness. One of the last
things she remembers is a hunky man in a Grateful Dead T-shirt who claims to be a licensed EMT. Mark wants
to return the metal box he found in Kate's car but doesn't know her name. Kate hasn't a clue about the
identity of her good-looking savior but has other things to worry about: her health; Paul, her best
friend since grade school who suddenly wants to marry her; Kate's daughter, who decides to drop out of
college; and submitting to the care of Kate's mother, a Wiccan sex expert. When Mark finally finds Kate,
the chemistry is strong, but can an atheist and an Episcopalian priest sustain a relationship? Very few
romance writers create characters as well developed and realistic as Bretton's. Her books pull you in and
don't let you leave until the last word is read.

USA Today bestselling author Barbara Bretton returns with the wry and tender story of Kate French--a woman
who's learning that her brush with death might give her a whole new life . . .
It all started with a red lace thong. Normally Kate is a twinset and pearls kind of girl who wouldn't be
caught dead in such a thing. But that's exactly what happens when sudden chest pains leave her lying
in a parking lot with her skirt hiked up around her hips for all of Princeton to see.
It's a man in a Grateful Dead T-shirt who saves her life and then disappears without a trace. A total
stranger--and yet Kate would give anything to see him again. How is she to know that her mystery man is
planning a new, faraway life for himself, one that doesn't include romance, even if he can't seem to get
the woman in red lace out of his mind?
Romance isn't high on Kate's list of priorities either. But when the handsome Good Samaritan shows
up on her doorstep, they discover that even the strongest heart is no match for love . . .
