Book Description:
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die

Andora died and she remembers every last detail of her gruesome death. One would think after going through that ordeal, she could face just about anything. She’s about to find out.

Soon after her death, Andora discovers that heaven doesn’t want her and hell doesn’t have room for her. She’s not about to question the latter all things considered. See, Andora wasn’t exactly a nice person and as far as faith goes, she only believed in herself. Come to think of it, she probably wasn’t scheduled to meet St. Peter at the pearly gates.

According to the Gatekeepers—the beautiful ones who stand guard over the afterlife—second chances are rarely given but Andora earns one anyway. The Gatekeepers decide where she should spend the rest of her life and off she goes, traveling through time to a historical realm of perpetual hell, also known as the early 1800s.

Andora begins life as a prairie girl, but soon faces another untimely death. Landing in front of the Gatekeepers for round two, she takes it as a sign. Desperate to live a more acceptable life, Andora quickly realizes that being good isn’t as easy as it looks particularly for those with mischief in their veins.

To make matters worse, her second-second chance is one she shares with another subject. A handsome rogue of a boy, Rebel makes it his mission to land in front of the Gatekeepers as often as possible. However, there’s a small problem with his plan. There’s no way to guarantee that the Gatekeepers will always be there to guide them into a new world and they soon discover that a fresh start is anything but a sure thing.

“We’re coming to your world. Welcome to ours….”
