Angels Fly
By Donna Simonetta
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Genre: Contemporary Fantasy Romance
Two years after her
husband’s death, Kelly believes her romantic life is done. Until she reconnects
with her girlhood crush on social media, and as fate would have it, he lives
across the street.
James is over the
whole true-love thing. His grasping ex-wife tore that belief out of him, when
she left him for a rich, old man. Then he finds out his first love moved to San
Diego too, and their attraction burns as hot as ever.
What they don’t
know is that Fate didn’t bring them together – the Guardian Angel Corps did,
led by two unlikely Cupids – Kelly’s late husband and Zane, a rough and tumble,
19th century cowboy. When a Fallen Angel decides to tear Kelly and James apart,
cherubs and harps aren’t going to cut it, and Zane’s unique skills might be
just what they need to get a second chance at their first love.
James held Kelly’s
hand as he walked her to her apartment building from his car. While they were
still in shadows, before they reached the bright light of the entrance, James
stopped and turned to face Kelly. He cupped her face in one of his big, rough
hands and rested the other lightly on her waist. He traced her cheekbone with a
feather light touch of his thumb, and Kelly couldn’t help but turn her face
into his hand like a kitten. She did manage to stop herself before she purred,
and was pretty darned proud of that achievement.
She felt his hand
at her waist tighten, and he dropped his forehead down to rest against hers.
When he spoke his voice was low and gruff with emotion.
“Tell me to leave right
now, Kel, or all my good intentions to go slow this time are flying out the
window, and I’m going to ask you to invite me up to your condo.”
Kelly’s voice was
quiet. “I’m not ready for that yet.”
He left his
forehead resting against hers, but rubbed his head slowly back and forth. “I
know. I should just go, but I can’t bring myself to leave.”
Kelly swallowed,
and extended an olive branch, since she wasn’t ready to call it a night yet
either. “I think I’m ready for a kiss, though.”
He lifted his head
away from hers, and the happiness and blatant hope in his voice made her smile.
“Yeah? Really?”
“Yeah,” she replied
and stood on the tips of her canvas deck shoes to bring her mouth closer to
his.
James bent his head
and pressed his lips gently to hers.
Her heart pounded
and her blood heated in her veins. It had been such a long time since a man had
kissed her—and this was James Flynn. Her first love. She snaked her arms up
around his neck and pressed her body closer to his.
After years working
in the business world, my love of reading led me to get my MLS, and I currently
work part-time in a school library, a job that allows me lots of time to
explore my other love - writing romance! I live in Maryland, with my husband,
who is my real-life romance hero. We both enjoy traveling to visit our
far-flung family and friends, and spending time on the beach with an umbrella
drink and a good book.
Thank you so much for your support! I really appreciate it!
