timeless.”
    “ Whatever.”
    Sassy angel. But I’m feeling like
we’re back on familiar ground, and I smile at him. “To Hell with
it. You’ll be okay.”
    He cringes. “Would you
stop saying that? What do you think got you in this position in the
first place?”
    I giggle and shake my
head. “Look, Nikky-poo, if we’re going to work together on this,
you’re gonna have to loosen up. I don’t know what they put in the
file they gave you, but trouble—I’m a magnet for it. Always have
been, always will be. And I don’t think that’s changing, with or
without you.” I slap a hand on his knee and push off the couch. “So
you need to loosen up, stay on your toes, expect the unexpected.
All good things, my friend. We’ll take the punches as they come,
and we’ll fight the good fight. We will prevail!” I stick a fist in
the air for good measure.
    “ Is this your version of a
pep talk?”
    “ Yup. Working for
you?”
    He smiles, stands, towers over me, and
sticks out his hand. “Yup. That works for me.”
    I take his hand and tug
him into a hug. More or less to cop a feel of these big, strong
shoulders, but also ‘cause I’m a people snuggler. And then I step
back and slap a hand to his chest. This time, only to cop a feel. Damn, my boy’s
built. And yeah, I’m feeling like I’m molesting my guardian angel.
But then again, he’s not looking like he minds too awful
much.
    “ Okay. I’m off to bed. I
take it I’ll see you in the morning?”
    He nods, sticks his hands in his
pockets. Bless his heart. “I’ll be here.”
    “ Umm...” I gesture in the
general direction of my room. “I’m gonna be changing my clothes in
just a few...” And you know what he does? An honest-to-God blush.
And, dammit, it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
    “ I’m... Ahh...” He shifts
his weight, looks away. “I won’t be watching. Don’t
worry.”
    I nod and let him off the hook, ‘cause
yeah, my boy’s had a rough night. “Okay, then.” I push on my toes
and give him a quick peck on the cheek, not checking his response
before I walk away. “G’night.”
    I wave over my shoulder, go to my
room, get dressed for bed, and crawl in with a sigh. My mind
swirls, my thoughts are jumbled, but I know one thing for sure. I’m
going to sleep with my very own guardian angel watching over
me.
    And I’m okay with that.

    A rock group’s rhythm guitarist, Rhys
Alexander, dies and finds himself bound inside the body of a woman
he’s never met. Can she help him move on to the other side, or will
he end up finding the love of his life…after his has already
ended?
    Excerpt:
    After a few minutes of digging through
her closet, Addison came up with two black dresses. She wanted
something simplistic to fit her style, but elegant. Something not
too revealing, but feminine; something that would make a man drool
but leave enough to the imagination to have him wondering what was
hidden underneath.
    What are you
doing?
    “ I’m trying to decide
which dress to wear.” She chewed on her fingernail as her eyes
shifted from one dress to the other.
    Wear the one on the
right.
    Her eyebrows shot up. “You can see
them?”
    Hell, no. But your
inability to make a fucking decision is raking at my
nerves.
    “ So you just picked one at
random?”
    It’s a decision, isn’t it?
It’s not like you’re any closer to one.
    She lifted a shoulder in
semi-agreement as she eyed the wraparound number on the
right.
    Worked for her.
    She shoved the reject dress back into
the closet before she went to dry her hair and throw on some
make-up.
    Rhys was surprisingly quiet
throughout, and then she realized he had closed off their link.
Why? She had no idea, but at this point it hardly concerned her.
She was just thankful for the quiet.
    After fluffing her blonde locks and
putting on her face, Addison
