Emma Calhoun's soul was reborn every seventy-two years and has been driven to return to Wales, find Christian, remember their love, and break the curse that keeps his ghost earthbound. Twelve times he has gone through the joyful reunion with the soul of his love, only to lose her yet again to death.

Emma always knew something was missing from her life, but couldn't figure out what. She searches the internet and finds it. The crumbling castle walls of Arrick by the Sea in Wales. She takes a vacation from her business; a photographer from Savannah Georgia.

Her first night there, she is ordered to depart from of all things, a ghost. A very handsome and appealing one. Although she has grown up with the popular myth of the ghosts who frequent her home town, she's never been one to believe in them. So, she surprises herself with the easy way that she accepts his reality.

He's had enough of breaking his heart. With this new incarnation, he has determined he won't meet her, love her, and lose her again. Best made plans. She is the spitting image of his first Emma and drawn against his will, he continues to meet her and learn this new spirited Emma that continues to surprise him as to their similarities and vast differences.

The owners of her manor house are three witches. Unbeknownst to the cursed lovers, they've concocted a plan. Unless every step is met, unless the patterns continue to remain broken from previous attempts, this time will fail like the twelfth time.

I had fun reading THIRTEEN CHANCES by Cindy Miles. The ghosts are not just fixtures in this book but characters that have a mind of their own. They blend the century of their previous life and the current time. What better thing can you say about a romance novel than "I cried."? I won't tell you when. I don't want to spoil it for you.
