About this eBook

How long would you wait for the one you loved?

Professor James Wentworth has a paranormal secret. He lives quietly in Salem, Massachusetts, making few ties with anyone. One night his private world is turned upside down when he meets Sarah Alexander, a dead ringer for his wife, Elizabeth. Though it has been years since Elizabeth’s death, James cannot move on.

Sarah also has a secret. She is haunted by nightmares, and every night she is awakened by terrifying visions of hangings, being arrested, and dying in jail–scenes from the Salem Witch Trials in 1692. As James comes to terms with his feelings for Sarah, he must also dodge accusations from a reporter desperate to prove that James is not who, or what, he seems to be. Soon James and Sarah discover a mystery that may bind them in ways they never imagined. Will James make the ultimate sacrifice to protect Sarah and prevent a new hunt from bringing hysteria to Salem again?

Part romance, part historical fiction, part paranormal fantasy, Her Dear & Loving Husband is a story for anyone who believes that true love never dies. 

Ratings and reviews

Despite the fact that I don't usually enjoy vampire stories, this one pleased me. Maybe because James tried so hard to act fully human, maybe because Allard did not emphasize the putative attributes (super strength, super speed, compulsion, glamour, etc.) In any event he was a comfortable character to be around for me. I liked the idea that love can last through the ages, even if it flies against the usual rationale for reincarnation. After all, why come back if you've already learned to take life one day at a time, enjoying it as much as you can and appreciating each person and event that occurs? Anyway, great story, well worth reading, driven by internal logic, not the expectations of the genre.

What a heart warming storyline. I really enjoyed reading this book.
