Hello, It's Me

Love is calling...

Wait for the beep!

A widowed mother of two, Annie Harlowe has a secret: She likes to call her late husband's cell phone just to hear his voice, even if it is only a recording. Then one night she dials-and something extraordinary happens...

Thomas Brannock IV has had his life mapped out since he was a kid, but a free-spirited woman with flowing hair and sun-kissed cheeks is about to change all that. Still reeling from her heart-to-heart with the other side-and wondering if she's so lonely she's gone off her rocker-Annie literally bumps into Thom at the posh soiree she's catering at his family's Southampton mansion. From the moment she looks into his eyes she feels like she's experiencing a true heavenly intervention-as two people from totally different worlds begin to make the most passionate connection of all...

With a little help from above!

Annie Harlowe is still reeling from the death of her husband, Andre, a year ago and desperately trying to make ends meet for herself and their two children, Milo and Trixie. Though she is having trouble paying her credit-card bills, she faithfully pays the bill for her husband's cell phone so that she can hear his recorded voice. One day someone actually picks up--through the static, she thinks it might be Andre, communicating with her from beyond. Annie can't fathom moving on until she meets handsome, rich Thom Brannock at a party she is helping to cater at his house. Sparks fly instantly between them, and when Thom stops by to return Annie's wedding ring, which slipped off at his house, he starts to break through her defenses. Markham, author of Once Upon a Blind Date [BKL Mr 15 04] and Mike, Mike & Me [BKL N 15 04] offers up a sweet romance for hopeless romantics. Kristine Huntley
