It Could've Been a Wonderful Life Karin Baine

'Tis the season for a ghostly playboy to start haunting lonely Annie Marlowe to show her the life he thinks she should be living.




Annie Marlowe is grieving for her mother, a cheating ex-boyfriend and a life outside the dreaded retail sector. She's beginning to think she'd be better off dead.




David Reece is a self-made millionaire, living the high life afforded to him through his toy store empire. A car crash leaves his spirit somehow attached to his employee, Annie.




Taking her cue from her favourite Christmas movie, she believes he's unable to ascend to the afterlife until he convinces her that the world is better for her existence in it. However, her shallow guardian angel seems to think a makeover and a boyfriend will solve all her problems.

Working together over the festive season, they might just discover that it's time they both began living.
