It only takes a second-a second filled with the scream of twisting metal, shattering glass and her own terrified cry-and Chris Copestakes' young life is ending before it really began.

Then, against all odds, Chris wakes up in the hospital and discovers she's been given a second chance. But there's a catch. She's been returned to earth in the body of another woman-Hallie DiBarto, the selfish, dazzlingly beautiful socialite wife of a wealthy California resort-owner.

Suddenly, Chris is thrust into an unfamiliar world of glittering prestige and angry secrets. As she struggles to hid her identity and make a new life for herself, she learns the terrible truth about Hallie DiBarto. And when she finds herself falling for Jamie DiBarto-a man both husband and stranger-she discovers that miracles really can happen.
