The New York Times bestselling author of Bet Me, Tell Me Lies and Welcome to Temptation delivers her long-awaited new novel--Maybe This Time.
Andie Miller is ready to move on in life. She wants to marry her fiancรฉ and leave behind everything in her past, especially her ex-husband, North Archer. But when Andie tries to gain closure with him, he asks one final favor of her before they go their separate ways forever. A very distant cousin of his has died and left North as the guardian of two orphans who have driven out three nannies already, and things are getting worse. He needs a very special person to take care of the situation and he knows Andie can handle anything.
When Andie meets the two children she quickly realizes things are much worse than she feared. The place is a mess, the children, Carter and Alice, arenโt your average delinquents, and the creepy old house where they live is being run by the worst housekeeper since Mrs. Danvers. Whatโs worse, Andieโs fiancรฉ thinks this is all a plan by North to get Andie back, and he may be right. Andieโs dreams have been haunted by North since she arrived at the old house. And thatโs not the only haunting.
What follows is a hilarious adventure in exorcism, including a self-doubting parapsychologist, an annoyed medium, her Tarot-card reading mother, an avenging ex-mother-in-law, and, of course, her jealous fiancรฉ. And just when she thinks things couldnโt get more complicated, North shows up on the doorstep making her wonder if maybe this time things could be different between them.
If Andie can just get rid of all the guests and ghosts, sheโs pretty sure she can save the kids, and herself, from the past. But fate might just have another thing in mindโฆ
