Losing Control: Mick's Story
A simple visit to the cemetery to bring some flowers to his dead wife changes everything for Mick Mullarney. Instead of the comfort he usually experiences, his dearly departed drops a Heavenly bombshell on him: It is time to get on with his life and fall in love again. In six months, she will no longer be holding his hand from above. What is a guy who hasn’t dated in over twenty years to do?
The very next day, Mick encounters a spit-fire, red head who gives him a piece of her mind for what he thought was a gentlemanly gesture. He apologized and made a strategic retreat. The trouble is, now he can’t get her out of his head.
Maggie McDonald long ago gave up on giving any man the benefit of the doubt. For years she’s lived alone, nursing her twice-broken heart, guarding a secret that almost destroyed her. So when tall, dark and handsome, with the sorrowful blue eyes, invades her space on New Year’s Day, she lets him have it. But, in the weeks that follow, he keep crossing her path. And invading her dreams.
Is it coincidence or Fate? Or maybe their heart strings are being played from Above.
This later-in-life romance matches an old-fashioned, retired Marine with a creative, feminist, daughter of hippies. Are they on the path to all-out war or a second chance at love?
Warning: Princess, a precious diva rescue dog, has her own plans for these two reluctant lovers.

This is a beautiful story about Mick Mullarney a military tactical genius who lost his wife Anne 6 years ago and who continues to contact Mick. She wants to find peace and Mick to find someone new and gives him 6 months to do it. Maggie MacDonald wants to keep control of her life but things get complicated when she tries to keep a secret from Mick. This story is so well written and there is such depth to the characters. Will Maggie be able to trust Mick and will he understand her fears? Rick again appears in this story along with Britt which brings even more excitement. This story deserves a ten.
