Jillian Samuels had the right stuff to be an attorney-- intelligent, savvy, driven. Most importantly, she could easily distance herself emotionally from her clients and their cases. She was was very successful in keeping at a distance anything or anyone who could possibly hurt her. But everyone needs someone, and when her mentor, Blake, abruptly dies, she is left more alone than ever.

As you know, though, when one door closes another opens. In Jillian's case the opening came when she inherited Blake's lake house and she was named the executor of his estate. Partly intrigued, and partly desperate for a quick escape from her job (and lecherous new boss), she makes her way to Salvation, Colorado. But not before succumbing to the temptation of trying on that darn magical wedding veil that her friends had handed down to her. Not that she believed in magic but, at a moment of real emotional pain, wrapping herself in the wedding veil seemed right.

Tuck Manning was equally at odds with his life. Once a hotshot architect whose buildings were held in great esteem, now he's dealing with the aftermath of an expensive and unsuccessful struggle to keep his his young wife alive. He put his life on hold, and now he lived in the same lake house he had shared with Aimee, fighting hard to keep her memory alive. He could never have imagined someone was just beyond the horizon on her way to claim her inheritance -- the same lake house that had been deeded to him and Aimee from her estranged father, Blake.

The question is...Do you believe in coincidence or fate or some cosmic force fashioning your future? Well, Wilde wants her readers to believe in this story of faith and love. Not the religious kind of faith necessarily, but faith in people and relationships. One character had a perfect relationship that ended sadly and abruptly. The other seemed unable to have any real relationships at all. One had love and the other distrusted the whole idea of love. Each winds up hurt and distrustful. Surely the only remedy must be magic. Wilde's characters are far from magical -- they are fraught with human shortcomings. Which, of course, makes them all the more lovable and memorable. You'll enjoy meeting the wonderful people of Salvation. They're magical.
