Race for the Sun by Minette Lauren

A reckless act won’t change the past, but it will cement the future…

When Soledad drowns herself in a storm off Key West, she realizes too late that she can’t escape the sorrows of her existence. Sentenced to an afterlife as a soul watcher, Soledad is assigned to guard and guide a niece from her previous life. Bound by the archaic rules of the afterlife, and the desire to be granted an existence with her soulmate, she endeavors to help her ward find happiness.
Ally, an accomplished artist in Austin, Texas, searches for balance in her world. Between jet setting to New York and Paris to display her works of art and painting in her secluded studio, Ally can’t seem to find the happiness she seeks. Burned by a toxic marriage and struggling to heal the rift with her sister, Ally finds it hard to trust and let go of past mistakes.
Can Soledad help Ally avoid the pitfalls of life without falling into one of her own?
