Publisher's summary
As the snow begins to fall over Manhattan, Angelina, the now ex-pop sensation (now known as Sarah Rose), begins to embark on her long journey - destination unknown - to find a way to somehow bury her checkered past and abusive ex-husband, as well as her family ties to organized crime to begin to rebuild a new life for herself and her five-year-old daughter Isabel (Izzy).
Oblivious to the knowledge, the path that she follows leads her to the small, quaint town of St. Bernard Parish, a tight knit community on the outskirts of New Orleans. In only a few short months, she finds waiting for her there, Miguel Rivera Jr., a southern Creole gentleman, with his own demons to slay.
Born with an extremely rare and serious birth defect - a heart condition unlike any other - Miguel's life had always been a constant struggle. Yet he has always kept a smile on his face, and a positive outlook on life. After finally having his heart repaired by his brilliant father Dr. Cesar Rivera at the tender age of nine, this now 18-year-old never gave much thought to love and romance. Now, from one careless night of meaningless pleasure, with someone he foolishly called a friend, he finds himself in a situation made of nobility, rather than love.
But at first glance, and one single magical touch, Sarah and Miguel knew that theirs was a passion that could not, and will not, be denied. Each from two completely different worlds will share a love so deep and unyielding that even the cold shroud of darkness couldn't tear them apart.
Sarah will be forced to reach back to her old world gypsy roots to fight the Reaper himself to save the man she desperately loves before the sands of time run out, and Miguel is lost to the darkness forever.
They thought that after facing the many hurdles between them, threatening their union and what was meant to be, their happy ending was sure to come. They were wrong. What will unfold in the tear-stained pages of their forbidden romance?

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint.

Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

love this book! I'm in love with Sarah and Miguel!
The Story captivates you from the very beginning!! You will instantly fall in love with the characters and the story. I love the way the narrator acted out the story, as opposed to just reading it. You will truly feel the emotion in the book, getting the feeling of watching a really intense movie, that will keep you intrigued till the very end.Can't wait for the sequel!!!

Awesome story! Amazing voice actress!!
Reading a great book is one thing. But hearing it like a major motion picture is unbelievable. The voice actress does an amazing voice job of every character. Memoirs sounds like it's being read by multiple actors.

Don't buy it!
Absolutely awful narration! I couldn't get past the first chapter. What a waste of money.
