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.
