Angel

Angel Matthews never asked to be a hero—she just wanted to survive. At twenty-three, Angel thought she'd left her turbulent past behind. But when tragedy strikes and she's suddenly thrust into custody of three grieving children, her carefully rebuilt life shatters. With supernatural abilities she's only beginning to understand and a family history that refuses to stay buried, Angel must navigate the impossible: becoming a guardian while confronting the trauma that shaped her. As she fights to keep the children safe and together, Angel finds herself caught between her mentor Eric—a police chief who's been her anchor—and Santo, whose presence stirs feelings she's tried to keep locked away. Meanwhile, her brother Johnny, cousin Alex, and uncle Kyle each carry their own secrets and scars from a shared past that's far from finished with any of them. This isn't a story about a girl discovering her powers. It's about a woman forged by pain, learning that love and responsibility can be just as terrifying as the darkness she's spent years trying to outrun. A paranormal New Adult thriller for readers who crave complex family dynamics, realistic emotional stakes, and characters who survive by fighting—not just for themselves, but for the people who need them most.
