Devil or angel? When Braelynn Burke goes in search of the truth behind the angel myths sweeping the country, she never expects to find devilishly sexy Gabe Harding. Forced to accept the local mechanic's grudging hospitality when her car breaks down, she discovers a man who heats her blood quicker than the torrid Kansas summer. Antagonistic, bull-headed and sexy-as-sin, Gabe is everything Braelynn doesn't want in a man, but once in his home her thoughts are anything but angelic.

For his part Gabe doesn't need a seductive temptress who tries both his resolve and self-control by living under his roof. Even though his deceased wife appeared in the past as an angel, promising new love and a mother for their daughter, he's pretty sure Braelynn doesn't fit the bill. Like Braelynn, he's tormented by survivor's guilt and is unsure whether to cling to his wife's gentle spirit or believe the sassy seraph tormenting him is the woman he was told to wait for.

Will they discover the truth they seek has nothing to do with angels and everything to do with their own fears? That love is not in their pasts, but in their future?
