In the Midst of Angels

by Seelie Kay

Genre: Contemporary Supernatural Romance 

Greta McDonald is convinced she doesn’t have time for love, but her dearly departed parents feel differently.

Attorney Greta McDonald runs a free legal clinic funded by the estate of her late parents for Milwaukee’s financially disadvantaged population. Greta’s dedication to those who can’t afford legal services leaves no time for romance. While on Earth, Melissa and Steven McDonald had enjoyed a true love match and they want the same for their daughter. Unfortunately, angels can only observe family members left behind, and in times of extreme danger, request assistance, but are not allowed to interfere in matters of the heart. The couple has already tested God’s indulgence several times and now they’re facing the possibility of being cast out of Heaven into Purgatory.

Enter Aaron Buckley, a ruthless litigator, and Greta’s primary nemesis in court. Despite their differences, he is determined to win Greta’s heart. Unfortunately, Greta’s commitment to her clinic, her resistance to a relationship, and her propensity to place herself in peril threaten to prevent a love match. Without a little heavenly intervention, this couple may never have the opportunity to embrace the miracle of true love.

Aaron is all in when his grandfather offers a family-tested three-part plan to win Greta’s heart. Unfortunately, Greta isn’t making things easy, but as everyone knows, the show’s not over until the heavenly choir sings!

“Oh, my.” Melissa McDonald leaned over the cloud she was perching on and shook her head. “Your daughter is at it again.” She glared at her husband, who floated on an adjacent cloud. 

Steven McDonald laughed, an expression of amusement crossing his face. “Oh, don’t get your wings in a bunch, Mel. That girl knows exactly what she’s doing, and I am darn proud of her. She dedicates her life to doing good, and she has fun with it.”

Melissa sighed. “I just wish she was more…ladylike. More polite. Sometimes, she is just so blunt. Aggressive. I fear when the time comes, she won’t know how to yield. Up here, I have no way to guide her, except for putting an occasional suggestion in her head. I worry she will never settle down, have children, or build a productive life.”

Steven slapped his knee, not noticing that his hand passed right through his leg, and chortled. “Times have changed, dear. Women no longer spend their days at tea parties. They have long abandoned their hats and gloves. No, women are coming into their own. They are seizing their fate, asserting their voice. Greta’s destiny is for great things. Sure, I would have loved to be there personally to share advice and impart some wisdom, but God had other plans.” He smiled. “Our daughter survived the accident in which we perished for a reason. Folks down there have an angel in their midst and they don’t even know it.”

Melissa“ frowned. “But that Blodgett Corp. They’re dirty. They’re evil. They might harm her.”

Steven’s wings fluttered, and he rose above his cloud. “And I have no doubt when the time comes, the Prince of Darkness will gladly welcome the men and women in charge of Blodgett Corp into his toasty realm. We can only do what we can do—watch, listen, and ask God to intervene if necessary. When we arrived, St. Peter told us God had a plan for Greta and it didn’t involve a premature ascendance into Heaven. We need to let her life play out.” Steven smiled at his wife. “Now, let’s get over to the nurturary so we can nurture a few more souls. Many angels are returning to Earth today, and we need to make sure we assign them to worthy parents.” He rolled his eyes. “There have been too many slip-ups lately. God wants stricter quality control measures in place.”

Melissa groaned. “I just wish more people realized that conception is a miracle. That God chose and gave them a genuine gift. As a former teacher, it’s so hard to watch parents who cross over to the dark side, putting themselves before their children. When you become a parent, your child must become the center of your universe.” She shook her head. “Why don’t humans get that?”

Steven gazed at his wife and offered his hand. “It’s not our place to reason why. Certainly, every child deserves love. That’s why it is so important that we choose worthy parents. Sometimes…things just get screwed up. Free will can lead to all kinds of harmful results. Unfortunately, humans make bad choices and a child is the one who suffers. God deals with that in his own way. Our job is to give each child the best chance at a worthy life.” He beckoned to his wife. “Come on, I’ll race you. I love watching those itty-bitty wings trying to keep up.”

Melissa glared at him. “Steven Joseph McDonald, one of these days I’m going to…”

A large rumble shot through the sky, and a deep melodious voice reached their ears. “Now, Melissa, no need to get wound up over a bit of teasing.” The voice chuckled. “One, two, three, fly!”

An interview with Seelie Kay

Q. Why do you write romance?

It began as a way to relieve the stress of a career as a lawyer/journalist and dealing with MS “on the side.” Writing has always been my outlet and the best way to break away from reality for a bit was to write romance. Plus, I love happy endings. I get rather emotional (yes, I’m a crier) but it’s a wonderful release.

Q. Do you prefer a certain type of romantic hero?

I adore smart, dashing gentlemen who aren’t afraid to live on the edge. They can be a lawyer, a bad boy, a billionaire, a prince, or a secret agent. That hint of danger just hooks me! However, they have to be paired with strong, independent women who aren’t afraid to fight for what they want, even love. And brains over brawn, every time!

Q. Why did you write “In the Midst of Angels?”

For several reasons. When my father died during the pandemic (not from COVID), I really struggled with the idea that I could never ever seek his advice again. He lived in another city and was kept in a tight “bubble,” so neither my son or I could visit. My mother had died 15 years prior and I regularly had dreams in which we had some pretty serious discussions about love and romance. That had me thinking about what type of advice they would give my son about relationships and finding the right partner. I also wondered how they would react to the relationship style of Millennials. Somedays, I feel like all of the advanced technology they use has killed romance. They seem much more practical about it, less playful. In a way, this book is a nod to my parents, as well as a guide to romance for the younger generation.

Q. You pretty much use lawyers as your main characters. Why?

It’s what I know. After 30 years, the law and the legal world are so firmly embedded in my brain that I can’t flush them out. That has become the lens through which I view the world and that naturally guides my characters and plots. Injustice infuriates me, but it also leads me to great stories. Even in this book, I find a way to explore social and criminal justice issues.

Award-winning author Seelie Kay writes scintillating tales of lawyers in love, sometimes with a dash of kink.
