Eight years ago, Chance Godricson messed with fate when he
saved the life of Queisha Saint-Dennis, dying in her place
in a building collapse. Ever since, he's been her guardian
angel, watching out for her from heaven and falling a
little more in love with her as the years pass. When a
monumental change in Queisha's life threatens her well-
being, Chance's buddy Angus literally knocks him out of
heaven and into her life.
Queisha has created an amazing world for herself in the
home she inherited from an aunt. Suffering from
agoraphobia, it's been years she's felt brave enough to
venture into the real world, getting by with the help of
her friend Vivica, who runs the Works Like Magick
employment agency. When Queisha finds herself in charge of
the twin girls she'd given up years ago in a surrogacy
agreement, she's going to need a bit of divine intervention
to get through the challenges facing her.
Vivica has just the man for the job and puts Chance into
Queisha's home as cook and confidant. Queisha is just what
the orphans, Skye and Lace, need in their lives, and Chance
is just the man...angel...to help Queisha confront and overcome
her fears. The attraction between the two is instantaneous,
and it's not long before Chance is dropping chastity
feathers all over the house! Knowing his time on earth is
limited, Chance devotes himself to Queisha, Skye and Lace --
and prays for a miracle for them all.
Annette Blair's BEDEVILED ANGEL is the second Works
Like Magick novel, and a real treat for all. The concept
behind the Works Like Magick series is clever and
entertaining, as are all of Ms. Blair's quirky, flawed and
always unique characters. There are many laugh-out-loud
moments throughout, and a few to bring tears. I found the
descriptions of heaven and angels comforting, and the
struggle faced by these characters heartfelt and
heartwarming. I particularly enjoy Ms. Blair's use of
children, not only in this story, but in many of her other
novels. BEDEVILED ANGEL has a spot on my keeper shelf.
An enchanting new novel from a national bestselling
sensation At the Works Like Magick employment Agency in
Salem, Massachusetts, matching clients in need with magical
temps is a piece of cake, especially since sexy Chance
Gordricson also happens to be heaven-sent. He's Kenya
Saint-Denis's guardian angel. And when he's hired to keep an
eye on her and the two surrogate children she's become
saddled with, he just might fall prey to temptation.
