Souls Divided — Rachel Carrington

As an Angel of Death, I wasn't supposed to focus on my own happiness, but becoming involved with Derek, another Angel, changed all that. For the briefest of times, our existence revolved around more than escorting the dearly departed over the mortal threshold. Until the Council discovered our liaison.

Angels weren't supposed to be intimate with one another. So Derek gets a promotion, and I get stuck without him for three long weeks. He only comes back to tell me that my best friend on Earth will be dying in a couple of days, and I don't get to help her cross over. Of course, he knows I've always been a rule breaker which, I think, is why he told me.

My mission to help my best friend becomes a cluster of mistakes, problems, and miscalculations that could very well end with either me or Derek losing our status. Maybe even both. But we're together again, and in spite of Derek's insistence that we can't stay this way, I'm not going to give him up this time.
