Beatrice doesn't know what to believe, but she begins to fear that the seven predicted miracles may occur and that her death is near. But when her niece, Minna, goes missing, Bea's own life suddenly seems much less important. Beatrice must join her mother andher sister to save Minna even if she dies in the process.

Her life is just the way she likes it-even-keeled and safe-until bad-boy ex-cop Owen Bancroft comes back to town. And he's still just as hot as ever. Damn it to hell. Owen, adrift and struggling to redefine himself as a civilian without a badge, will have to learn how to open himself up to life's new possibilities while not bursting into flame every time he gets near Lucy (although-then he'd have to call the fire department, and she might show up on the engine, so not the worst idea ever?).
