Eternally His (Electronic book text)

Erica Peterson is looking forward to a busy bridal fashions season so she can pay off the mortgage on her bridal salon. Though she works in an environment created to serve the needs of love, she has no interest in love or marriage. Erica swore off romance after a brief engagement to a fortune hunter. She believes she has everything she needs--the Belle Brides salon and her little dog, BB. At the beginning of the season, the worst possible time, a ghost appears in the window of Belle Brides. She's dressed in a Victorian wedding gown--the same era as the building housing Erica's bridal salon. The ghost creates a disturbance. Police detective Grant Stewart answers the call. Though Erica and Grant try to deny it, they both experience feelings of familiarity. The feelings are so strong, Erica is able to anticipate Grant's mannerisms. They've met before but neither can remember where or when. Erica's and Grant's effort to rid the salon and themselves of the ghost bring the two together. They uncover secrets of the ghost's past. She has a history of violent encounters with owners of the building. The ghost vows to stay until she has fulfilled her soul's purpose. Erica, her staff, her clientele, and Grant continue to suffer ghostly encounters. Erica is on the verge of losing everything: the salon, Grant, and the two-year-old child who has stolen her heart, To save all, she must travel through time to prevent a tragedy taking place both in 1894 and in present time.
