Michaela has been sentenced to the mortal plane for her involvement in a prank. She has accepted her fate eagerly, for mortals and their world have always interested her. Her sentence is one mortal life; her mission to help Ty Brock.

An ex-con, Ty Brock is dealing with the cards he dealt himself. He is avoiding the people he betrayed, the people he hurt, including his best friends. Struggling to start over, Ty needs help. What he does not need is a beautiful, helpless woman who breaks everything she touches.

Michaela, for her role in leading two mortals astray, is sentenced to help one man, Ty Brock. She is hopelessly out of her element, but she is willing to learn. Now if she could only understand the ‘feelings’ that Ty stirs in her. Ty needs help and the innocent Michaela is not making his life easier, if anything his desire for her his making him miserable. What is worse, she needs him, which rocks his resolve to isolate himself from the world, his town, and the people who care about him. Can Michaela show him that he only needs to forgive himself to find true happiness?

Very rarely do I give out a five cups rating, but Ms. Karella’s book had everything a romance reader could ever want. Her characters were not only tortured by their choices, but also sympathetic, romantic, and sensual. Their problems were realistic with a conflict that developed so naturally that they flowed together seamlessly into a rich tale of forgiveness. The sensual tension between Ty and Michaela was hot enough to steam windows, while the anguish that this couple faced brought tears to my eyes. Truly a keeper of a paranormal romance and a fantastic beginning to a series that promises to enchant.
