Railroad police officer Mike Wilson's beat is ten feet by ten thousand miles. When he foils a major drug deal, he ticks off the wrong kingpins. And he discovers just how far outside his jurisdiction he's strayed—into a nest of demons now targeting him for revenge.
When given the chance at her dream job, Dawn ditches her angelic general's stars to become a Guardian. For the past thirty years, she's watched over Mike as his faith has grown strong despite lasting scars on his soul. She's poured her heart into writing him encouraging notes he may never see, and dreamed of the impossible—meeting him face to face. But when Mike's life is threatened, Dawn's warrior instincts drive her to crash the forbidden barrier between realms to save his life.
To say the least, her split-second decision stirs up a hornet's nest of infernal proportions, driving a wedge of doubt between their hearts. And touching off an epic battle between Heaven and Hell—with Mike's very soul as the prize!
Note: Guardian Angel is a Christian/supernatural suspense novel with a speculative twist which tells the story of what happens when one impulsive act of heroism sets two opposing realms on a collision course. Told in first person from the (sometimes unreliable) point of view of Dawn's angelic BFF Ariel, at its heart it's a very special kind of love story. Names have been changed to protect the innocent—and the not-so-innocent!

Editorial Review:
Loved it! 😍
A fascinating, engrossing vision of spiritual warfare and what it might be like to meet your guardian angel in the flesh.
Dawn was a high-ranking officer in the angelic army and is a skilled warrior, but she gave that up to take a dream role as Mike's Guardian....
I enjoyed the depiction of angels as having different roles in Heaven. Some are warriors. Some are counselors. Some are guardian angels....
The battle scenes and the lengths the demons go to to deceive Mike and to take Dawn out of the fight were pretty intense and kept the pages turning. The interactions between Mike and Dawn were also well written and heartfelt. I mean, imagine finding out that yes, you really do have a guardian angel, and here they are in your living room!
If you're a fan of Christian speculative fiction, you'll enjoy Guardian Angel.
