Guardian angels.

 

How many miracles have been worked by these wondrous beings? How many lives have been saved, how many destinies have been formed?

 

And how many mistakes have been made?

 

Ben's not quite an angel yet; he'll have to save an awful lot of souls before that can happen, and he's not off to a good start. After causing the death of his subject, he has to face Michael's wrath and team up with Dorian, the man who was supposed to have lived for another forty-two years.

 

Dorian takes it in stride. He becomes smitten with the lovely Alexa, a unique young woman who should never have been born of human parents, but because of a merry mix-up, the powers-that-be must retrieve her so she can begin to learn her place in the heavens. The world is depending on her.

 

Dorian realizes soon enough he has a rival, and Donovan is no lightweight. An angel from way back, when the world was young, he's virile, handsome, and darkly mysterious. Is he just toying with Alexa? Are his secrets dangerous to humanity?

 

When an evil and vengeful entity makes its presence known, they're all going to have to depend blindly on each other for the survival of the world and each other, in spite of all the unknowns, in spite of all the ill feelings.
