A new release in our Sarah series!
What comedic mishaps and blunders await our sweet Sarah, Heaven’s Little Love Angel, this time around?
BLURB:
Beautiful, talented, and stubborn, architect Laney Taylor battles her attraction to the handsome and wealthy—but mulish—homebuilder, Cannon Carlson. After all, he is her employer, and business and pleasure don’t mix, do they?
Sarah, a klutzy, perpetually direction-challenged angel who craves cheeseburgers and fancies red stilettos, is sent to Houston on assignment. She’s to bring these obstinate people together, but she faces major challenges, especially since Laney is threatened by a mysterious stalker who plans to kill her.
To protect Laney, the Commander of Heaven dispatches a second, more seasoned warrior angel, Tomas, to Earth with divine instructions to protect Laney. But will hit-or-miss Sarah get in his way? Can Sarah unite Cannon and Laney romantically together?
Oh merciful heavens! What will Sarah do this time?

Sarah prepared for her descent from The Heavenlies. By Earth’s schedule, months had passed since her last visit. But in The Heavenlies, time did not exist. Eternity recognized no calendars, clocks, or time pieces, and had no beginning or end.
She had once served the Superiors in Houston, Texas, and now her orders were to return to that same city. But Houston was huge. How could a directionally challenged angel find the way? With no innate sense of direction—in Heaven or on Earth—she wished for one of those GPS devices the humans used, but angels weren’t supposed to need them.
Pointing her body toward earth, she zoomed like a bomb straight down to Texas. When skyscrapers came into view, she righted herself and drifted to the terrain’s surface. She landed in a parking lot surrounded by buildings. Good—safely back on this special planet called Earth.
Sarah had never been to the other galaxies in the universe, but many angels had. She hoped her missions were always for the earthlings. She liked these people.
Her stomach rumbled.
Why was she always hungry? Finding a place to fortify strength would be necessary before locating Laney. Once the assignment started, it might be hours before a chance to satisfy her appetite presented itself.
She glanced at the signage on the building. How fortunate—an eatery. Pop’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers. While invisible, she ducked behind the structure and glanced around to make sure no one would see her. Witnessing a woman materialize out of nowhere proved quite distressing for humans.
Now then—when people looked, they would see a young lady dressed in jeans and t-shirt. On the last trip to earth, she had discovered the hard way that stilettos weren’t her thing, so this time she opted for a pair of sneakers.
The day was hot. She had the ability to cool herself with her internal thermometer but decided to check inside first to see if any adjustment was necessary.
She strolled up to Pop’s lunch counter. A man with a white beard and baseball cap stood ready with a pencil in his hand. “What would you like to order, miss?”
“I’ll have a cheeseburger, fries, and chocolate malt.”
He handed her a number for her order. She summoned money from the handbag, paid the man, and chose a table. After a few minutes, he delivered the burger basket. “Would you like anything else?”
Sarah looked up at the kind man and smiled. “I could use some directions. I don’t know my way around Houston.”
The man smiled. “Me either. I don’t think I can be of much help to you.”
Sarah lifted her eyebrows. Had she found someone as directionally hopeless as herself? “How long have you lived here?”
“All my life, but I stay close to Dallas. Don’t get to Houston very often.”
Sarah frowned. “Aren’t I in Houston?”
“No, ma’am, you’re in Dallas.”
“Oh, merciful heavens!”

Tomas had no trouble finding Laney Taylor in Houston. Hovering nearby, he waited, eyes and ears fixed on Laney as the stranger approached. Intervention might become necessary.
“Hey! Get your hands off me!” Laney shrieked as fingers pawed her hair and tickled her neck. The house had been vacant when she entered. Caught up in work, she clearly hadn’t heard anyone enter the empty space. The unexpected stroke to her body proved a shocking notice that she was no longer alone.
She spun around and faced the tall, scraggly man standing only inches away. Laney backed into the wall as he advanced. “How did you get in here?”
Tomas heard the tremble in Laney’s voice. He tensed his back and prepared for action, but hoped it wouldn’t be necessary. If only the avenger would hurry up and arrive.
The wicked man towered over Tomas’ charge and framed the partition with enormous hands and bony arms, making it impossible for Laney to withdraw any further.
“I was hot, and the door was open. Didn’t expect to find me a beautiful woman waiting.” An ugly smile disfigured his lips. “Looks like I hit the jackpot.”
Tomas could see Laney evaluate her options. No help was in sight, and her face held a look of sheer panic. She had no idea an angel was there. He’d wait a few more seconds before stepping in.
Tomas saw her fingers clutch a key ring. A weapon! He picked up on her intent to plunge the keys into the stranger’s eyes, knee him in his groin, and run through the open door.
Tomas wasn’t the only one who read her objective. The unkempt man sneered and knocked the keys from her hand. Gripping her shoulders, he lowered his head to touch her sweet lips with his filthy ones. Screaming, Laney jostled her head from side to side and avoided the evil touch. Bringing her knee up, she struck his thigh, but that little thump was no deterrent to the fiendish man.
