This romantic story is a quick read with a good premise:  a woman married to a cheating husband inherits property that hosts a man she's seen once before as a young teenager.  In the years since, the man has not aged and he is wearing the same clothes each time she sees him, each time he saves her from certain harm.  From journal entries and examining events surrounding his presence, Sarah learns the man is assumed to have died after returning from his military duty during World War II, but his body has never been found and he is definitely a real entity in her contemporary world.Dealing with being given notice of layoff as a teacher in her fourth year in the school system, her husband trying to sell his self-published, risque novel, her husband admitting he's cheated onher, and a Christian father that re-married just one month after his wife, Sarah's mother, died is already much to deal with.  Add this ghostly man, a very attractive female real estate agent that's caught her husband's wandering eye, a vintner that wants her property very badly, and a journal that won't stay where she puts it, Sarah has many decisions to make as she deals with issues she cannot run from--including being attracted to a man that's not her husband, a man that no one else can see.The story is a decent attempt to tell a romantic story with a good supernatural influence.  It is a good story for a casual, light read. The writing style reads as if the author wanted to tell a straightforward story without a great deal of flowery, unnecssary words or concerns with developing a polished tale that excellent wordsmiths would perhaps produce.  Still, it is a decent story that will not disappoint readers of romance.
