A love story that transcends realms.
Being an earth angel isn’t as glamorous as it sounds, and Seraphina Lightwood knows this better than most. Sure, she’d love to score a glorious position in a heavenly choir, spend her time basking in effulgent halo light, and retire from her hands-on fieldwork. But for now, Sera has an assignment: Emily Thompson. Emily is important in the grand scheme of things and needs to be saved. That’s a unique challenge because Emily has a terminal illness. But Sera is great at her job and won’t let anything get in the way of her mission and a potential promotion. The good news is that a doctor is already working on a treatment for Emily’s illness. The bad news is that the doctor, Chris Wright, has a complicated history and a compulsion to control or possess everything around him. When Chris bumps into Sera, she becomes the object of his desire. He won’t stop until Sera gives in to him, but Chris has no idea what he’s up against. It isn’t just Sera’s angelic nature that stands between them, nor the distraction that falling in love might cause, but there is another powerful being with dark designs on this hardworking angel.
A delightfully contemporary spin on a classic narrative, Chris Gets the Girl is a love story that transcends realms. Readers will root for Emily’s recovery and appreciate Chris’s friendship with a fellow physician, but Sera is the real star of this show. She may have wings and supernatural insights into the human soul, but she is incredibly human in her inability to remember passwords, her need for alone time, her fascination with social media, and the way she bounces off walls when she has too much caffeine. She is compassionate and thoughtful, the kind of person we all want in our corner. By using alternating points of view and reframing scenes from these shifting viewpoints, the author offers a deeper insight into the characters, adding delicate layers to the story while steadily ramping up the drama. Tension builds on multiple fronts starting with Chris’s detrimental hubris, bluster, and lack of boundaries. Sera’s ability to look into a person softens Chris’s persona in time for the real villain to appear. Whimsical and warm, Chris Gets the Girl proves that no power in heaven or on earth can thwart true love.
