I Will Always Love You: A 9/11 Story

The last thing Miranda ever expected was to see her brother's ghost at the fallen Twin Towers.

It's bad enough a survivor at Ground Zero scares her with claims that if one dies violently, his ghost will haunt the place that holds his name. And to top it all, one of those thousands of ghosts follows Miranda to her hotel. The only certainty is the ghost grabbing her under the covers is not her brother.

Their parents' deaths separated Miranda from her brother when they were kids. The stranger at Ground Zero insists Jake brought them together and it's no coincidence that of thousands mourning at Ground Zero, it's his best friend she bumps into. Some best friend. The man is more like a moocher. The cheapskate never has money, just a blood-stained wallet he broods over. Miranda has no choice but to hang out with the weirdo in order to unravel her brother's past.

As Miranda spends time with her brother's best friend, she begins to wonder who he really is. Against her better judgment, she becomes emotionally entangled with a bitter alcoholic who has a secret linked to her brother and that blood-stained wallet.

I Will Always Love You is part mystery, suspense, and romance, and takes place in the aftermath of 9/11, two weeksafter the planes hit the world Trade Center in New York City.
