Publisher Description
Sometimes you have to sin a little to find heaven on earth....
As a private investigator, Melina Dimitris had seen more than her share of relationships gone bad. But that didn’t keep her from believing that Mr. Right was out there. And she thought she’d found him in a tall, ruggedly handsome adventurer with a pair of magic hands.
So when he dumped her without so much as an explanation, Melina hid her devastation by throwing herself into her work. Little did she expect that three runaway children from the small town of Bethlehem would bring him back into her life.
Sebastian Knight knew that if anyone could find his missing daughter, it was the brash P.I. with a passion for kung fu and tight red dresses. Their affair had been brief, white-hot, and clearly heading for something more serious. Until Sebastian ended it rather than risk getting burned again.
Only now that it was too late did he realize the mistake he’d made. But with a trio of eccentric helpers watching over them — and the children — Sebastian and Melina would soon discover that in Bethlehem it was never too late for a miracle.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Romance lovers looking for a truly engrossing read need look no further than the fifth installment in Pappano's Bethlehem series (following Getting Lucky). In Bethlehem, N.Y., everyone is just plain nice; even the poorest part of town has a hint of respectability to it, and happily-ever-afters are guaranteed. The latter is helped along by a trio of resident guardian angels who pop up in unexpected places to watch over and guide the human inhabitants of this benevolent berg. During this latest visit, the reader meets Melina Dimitris, a brash and beautiful PI from a large Greek family who specializes in finding lost children. When three of Bethlehem's youngsters run away from home in order to find their biological mothers, Melina is called to duty. Too late, she learns that one of the kids is five-year-old Chrissy Knight, daughter of Sebastian Knight, the man with whom she shared a torrid four-day affair a week earlier. Although Sebastian tries to distance himself from Melina, fearing that he'll be burned like he was in a past relationship, he's forced to give love a second chance when he discovers that Melina is pregnant. Although Pappano falls back on a tried-and-true romance formula for the final pages, her fresh voice and delightful characters will leave readers looking forward to the next installment.
