Are we ever truly obligated to do anything? All Zisel has ever wanted was for her father, Archangel Gabriel, to show her that he cares. This affects almost every aspect of her life, from the way she interacts with others, and all the way to her career ambitions. That is, until she is told unexpectedly that her training has been accelerated by an entire year - she's ready to become an Angel Guardian. Her first Charge is a young Summer Shaw, a wayward lady on the run from a drug dealer out for revenge. When Zisel and Summer start to connect on a level deeper than Guardian and Charge, will Zisel stay on the path to perfection, as she feels is expected of her? Or, will a turn of events show Zisel there are much bigger concerns beyond her need for approval - concerns that could test Zisel's loyalty to all that she knows?
