The Soul Jar
by Jennifer Colgan

A romance three thousand years in the making.

When Bree Sennett breaks into Ming Xao Chen's Curiosity Shop to recover the fabled Soul Jar of Ammonptah, the last thing she expects to find among the tacky souvenirs is a ghost. But there he is, Mason "Chance" MacKenzie, back from the dead and stirring a confusing mix of joy at seeing him alive...and betrayal for leaving her.

Two years ago, Chance faked his own death to save both their lives. It's taken him that long to convince himself she's better off without him, that she'll never forgive him much less love him. Yet as their mutual search for the Soul Jar brings them face to face, he realizes the only one he was fooling was himself.

Now the woman who stole his heart is about to steal the Soul Jar, but a life he promised to protect hangs in the balance. There's only one way to satisfy both their clients. Make a deal. And hope he can trust her to help him complete his mission before he loses her forever.

Jennifer Colgan's Bio

Jennifer Colgan has been writing in one form or another for more than 25 years. Having tried fan fiction, poetry, adventure and sci-fi, it wasn't until she decided to try her hand at writing romance that she found her true home. In addition to writing, Jennifer enjoys reading, quilting and candlemaking. Her ultimate goal is to clone herself so that she can spend time on all her favorite activities at once. An avid reader all my life and an aspiring writer since the age of ten, I realized my dream of becoming a published author in 2005. Inspired by the romance novels I devoured as a teen and the science fiction classics, I wanted to combine those elements into my stories. Since beginning my career, I've branched out from science fiction romance into paranormal, contemporary and even historical genres and I hope to continue bringing sexy adventurous tales to my readers for decades to come.

I currently live in the NY-NJ Metropolitan area with my husband of seventeen years, two creative children, a slightly neurotic Dalmatian and two spirited black cats. When not hard at work on a novel or short story, I spend my time reading, quilting and haunting the local craft stores.

Update April 2009:

I'm looking forward to the June release of my Fae romance, THE MATCHMAKERS, and hard at work in my paranormal worlds of witches, vampires and gargoyles! Stay tuned.
