Seven hundred years ago, Derek DeMolay, Knight Templar, was killed by the Inquisition and has spent the years since battling demons as a Warrior Angel, never once asking to be admitted to Heaven. Now, a traitor has been discovered among the angels and part of the key to unmasking and stopping this threat lies in the life of Rachel Duncan, a twenty-first century young woman who works in the stock market pits. Derek is assigned to keep an eye on her and try to circumvent the plot that Hell is weaving around her. Though being her doorman might not seem to be the most ideal spot from which to perform his duties, Derek takes on the role with the dedication that he has ever given his duties. It does not take long for him to find the demon after the woman who is winning his own angelic heart. Under an urbane mask, Zanus is weaving a spell of temptation that could topple the world, all via Rachel's unwitting hands. Derek will break every rule under Heaven if he must to save her and incidentally, the world.

I'll grant you that the theology in this book is not the best. However, that does not stop it from being an entertaining, fun, action-packed read with splendid characters who leap off the page. Like Andrew Greeley's Angel Fire, this upsets the idea that angels are fluffy, harp playing wimps and shows them as take charge beings. I hope this begins a series; Derek and Rachel are a spectacular couple as are their two supporting cast members, Angel William and Cherub Sampson.

Synopsis
"New York Times" bestselling author Margaret Weis teams up with her daughter for a paranormal romance series featuring good but flawed Guardian Angels striving to protect their mortal charges, never expecting to fall in love. Derek is a fallen angel, formerly of the Knights Templar. Disillusioned with God and his grand plan, he chooses to remain forever in Limbo, fighting against the Dark Angels, rather than enter into Heaven. But then news of impending war between the forces of good and evil sends Derek to save mankind. Rachel Duncan is a focused business woman - so focused that she has no idea that her new client is one of the Dark Angels, determined to use Rachel in a master plan to send the world into chaos. Caught up in his charming web, Rachel doesn't realize how deeply she's involved until it's too late. Now she and Derek are in a race against time, as Rachel gets drawn farther into the Dark Angel's plans, and Derek confronts obstacles to her rescue at every step. Will they be able to overcome the forces of evil and their own misgivings to save the world...and each other?
