Made in Heaven

 A romantic tale of love lost...and love found!  Meg Murphy, a soon-to-be former editor at a closing Boston publishing firm, is on her way to the resort town of Newport, Rhode Island, where she and her husband Robert have vacationed together for years. Robert, unfortunately, is dead. Meg is at a crossroads in her life. Robert died suddenly five years earlier, and although she has accepted his death--or so she has said to any number of therapists and friends--she lives for the fantasy of this anniversary trip. This year, however, her ghostly husband is telling her it's time to call it quits. Nothing in Newport goes as planned. Meg immediately crosses paths with a gruff and handsome cab driver named Evan Knight. Unknown to her, Evan is actually a bestselling fiction writer of reality-based novels. To research his stories, Evan always goes undercover, and this time he's living the life of a taxi driver. The last thing Evan wants is a relationship that will interfere with his carefully constructed life. The last thing Meg wants is a relationship with someone new. Robert, however, has other plans...
