"terrific whimsical paranormal romance"

Sabrina Monroe inherits her family's Maple Inn in Vermont, but has found the work difficult but rewarding in spite of her financial concerns. Her customers are interesting bunch of eccentric characters, but Lucinda of "sole" repairing takes the halo with her magical ability to fix dead cars and her leaving behind a book that she insists is a loaner aptly named SABRINA'S DESTINY.

Colonial Golf-Resort businessman Jason O'Neill wants to buy Sabrina's property to build a resort there. However, upon arrival she thinks he is a handyman in spite of his Mustang and puts him to work when he fails to correct her mistake as he figures he can find a way to bring the price down. Though he is under tooled and not handy at least with repairs, they fall in love healing their hearts and souls, but each has issues with an emotion neither trusts. Her former fiancé Rodney used her to further his career and covets her inheritance while he was hurt badly by his one so called lasting relationship Chloe. He knows he must tell her the truth, but fears her reaction.

SABRINA'S DESTINY is a terrific whimsical paranormal romance starring two wonderful skeptics struggling not to fall in love in spite of their mutual destiny. The support cast is an eccentric delightful group especially Lucinda the angelic matchmaker. Readers will enjoy this fine romantic fantasy and hope Lucy has more destinies in store for Selena Robins' appreciative fans.

Summary

Inheriting her family's Vermont Inn gives down-on-her-luck Sabrina Monroe plenty of headaches and not enough money to buy pain relief. She was taken in once by her ex-fiancé, a so-called businessman who wanted to "look after her interests," when all he cared about was gaining possession of her land. The last thing Sabrina is looking for is another frog to kiss.

The very last thing Jason O'Neill, a business tycoon known as the "Acquisiton King," is qualified to do is impersonate a handyman, when Sabrina mistakes him for a ridiculously upscale (and under-prepared) handyman. His mission is to talk Sabrina into selling her property to Colonial Golf Resorts. The case of mistaken identity allows the city charmer to think he can use his savvy business skills to negotiate a deal during his repairman stint.

But, what happens when he begins to find the innkeeper's spunk and resilience irresistible? Jason has no illusions about love, having put his heart before his career once before. The last thing he's looking for is another damsel in distress to rescue.

Has magic saved the day when Sabrina receives a mystical gift?

Will the guidance of a spiritual being help Sabrina and Jason with a second chance at love?
