Angel Fae

Hawk fae Ariana is a guard for the royal family, a highly coveted position, and one she has worked hard at, but in one trip to the human world to have fun in the sun with her friend, she makes the mistake of saving a couple of children from drowning in the Gulf of Mexico. Now she's living in a new world with the Angel Corp in the angel realm of existence, and she's required to save both humans and fae alike. Before she has gotten her feet wet on the easier assignments, she's stuck with the really dangerous stuff. But she can't die, can she? She has already done that once. But she wants to return to the fae world—the living fae world—in any way that she can.

Malik was supposed to have been Ariana's guardian angel but when he saw another human struggling in the riptide, he went to save him, thinking that Ariana was going to be just fine. Now he is her mentor in the Angel Corp, when he'd always wanted to get to know her better while they'd both been of the fae world. This situation of her wanting to return as a fae is a deadly business. But if she manages to do so safely, she'll leave him behind. Now she's working on all dangerous missions and he's afraid he'll lose her for good. Still, helping her to return to the fae world of the living isn't in the plans.
