"A bittersweet tale of a second chance at love. Will a ghostly influence show these two the way?"

Erin Winters had agreed to be a surrogate mother to a wealthy, childless couple. When a horrible attack leaves Glenna Tanner dead, the father wants nothing to do with the baby Glenna desired so much. But Erin isn't in a position to raise a second child by herself. She's raising her crippled little boy, Timmy, alone since her reckless husband died, nearing killing Timmy in the process. What is she to do?

Blake thinks he can just walk away from the surrogate, that the money he's already given Erin is all that she needs to see her through the pregnancy. But when he meets Erin for the first time, he's shocked by the burden she bears. He proposes a solution to both their problems. Move into his mansion (in a separate wing, of course) until after the baby is born. But close quarters may stir up feelings that Blake vows never to feel again.

After the birth of their child, will this ragtag family go their separate ways? Or will a ghostly influence help them find a love that neither Erin nor Blake expected? There are challenges and roadblocks on this path to love. Will this family be able to overcome the obstacles? Is Blake cheating on his dead wife if he finds happiness with another woman?

The secondary romance between Erin's sister, Sandy, and Blake's best friend, Greg, serves as a counterpoint to the main romance. When the relationship between Erin and Blake is developing slowly, Greg and Sandy are in the throes of passion. But once Erin and Blake get together, they burn with their unrestrained passion. But will love follow or is it just lust? Will Erin ever be able to step out of Glenna's shadow?

ANOTHER LOVE is a heartwarming, yet heart-wrenching, tale of second love. A love that slowly grows and builds over time. If Blake and Erin can have a second chance at love, maybe there's hope out there for anyone who has been burned by love before. Ms. Jacobs has written another winner.
