Since it's October and we're working our way to Halloween, I thought I'd offer snippets this month from my paranormal romances. Today's snippet is from BURNING LOVE. Two meddling angels in Heaven try to match soulmates on Earth. In this snippet, senior angel Hildegard agrees to allow bumbling junior angel Angelica a chance to match Riley and Iris:
Excerpt:
"I agree to give you a chance to prove yourself with this match you’ve made between Iris and Riley. If the match works, you’ll stay here and work with me in Relationship Division. But if they are not madly in love and totally committed by the end of six weeks, Iris will go on her Mediterranean cruise and be matched with Antonio, and you will go to Service Division. Do we have a deal?”
Hildegard held out her hand. Angelica took a deep breath. Her whole future in Heaven depended on Iris and Riley and the accuracy of her intuition. Angelica simply couldn’t allow them to languish in loneliness. She needed to fight for them, whatever the risk to her.
But if she was wrong, if they weren’t soul mates— Angelica shivered. She couldn’t bear to think of it. She was far too pretty to wear one of those horrid Service uniforms.
She shook Hildegard’s hand. “Yes, we have a deal.”
Hildegard sighed. “Heaven help us.”
Blurb:
After causing three cooking fires in her apartment, Iris Jensen finds herself evicted and homeless. She lands on Riley Benson's doorstep, looking to rent a room in the beautiful old home he's restoring. It's only for six weeks until Iris leaves Portland, Oregon for her new job on a cruise ship. Firefighter Riley knows firsthand what a bad tenant she can be. But he needs money to finish the work on the house he loves. And something about Iris pulls at his heart…
Meanwhile, in Heaven, two angels watch over the young lovers. Angelica and Hildegard work in Heaven's Relationship Division, where angels match mortals with their soul mates. The angels believe so strongly in Iris and Riley’s love that they break Heaven's rules to help them. Can the angels convince them their love will last a lifetime?
