title: Send Me an Angel
author: Parker, Julie
description: Ella thought having a man wearing a parachute crash into her was her biggest problem, but that was only the beginning. Secret x-wives, old boyfriends, children—expected and unexpected—and intrusive relatives, make for an unforgettable summer for the young widowed mother. Gabriel is a handsome, sophisticated, world-renowned author. He is attempting to hide out at a quiet lake located just miles from the small town of Caverly, but an unexpected encounter with a beautiful young widow leaves him instantly captivated. Gabriel displays a brave, auspicious face to the world, but is concealing more than his own share of secrets. Being widowed has made Ella wary of relationships with men, at least the grown-up ones. But thanks to her little boy Calvin, Ella is thrown into one crazy situation after another with a man she wants very much to avoid. When her two cousins arrive in town—carrying more than their usual share of baggage—Ella sees her quiet, predictable life turned into a fiasco by screaming hormones, unrelenting love, jealously and deceit. It becomes apparent that Caverly isn’t an isolated or small enough place for her to conceal a deep dark secret that threatens to reveal itself at every turn.
