A five-hundred-year-old passion simmers on...

As far as Angelo could figure, it must have been the sight of the orphaned baby that caused Isobel Avedon, his one true love, to turn irrevocably mortal. Isobel had always wanted a baby...his baby.

During the half millenium that Isobel and Angelo had been separated, they hadn't once been tempted by sins of the flesh. But then, they'd both been angels. Now Isobel was mortal, and pent up passion returned with a vengeance.

Vengeance was apparently still on the killer's mind, too. Though Angelo should have assigned another halo to protect the baby and surrogate mom, he could trust no one with Isobel's life. He'd let her down once before and they'd both been murdered. He wasn't about to lose sight of her again.

This is a Harlequin Intrigue book by Carly Bishop titled Angel With An Attitude. I've been told Bishop is fairly good, but haven't read her, and haven't been able to get into any category romances the last few years. But the plot requires important polling!

I think Harlequin Presents and plain Silhouette are the ones I'm thinking of. But who knows. They could have discontinued them sometime in the last 5 years.

Or they could, perhaps, just be incredibly unpopular in my area.

This (http://www.eharlequin.com/articlepage.html?articleId=538&chapter=0) should be their current lineup, straight from the horse's mouth. "Mills & Boon Tender Romance" is one of the secular lines that deemphasizes the really overt sexuality for more of an old-fashioned "sweet romance" sort of love story, while the "Steeple Hill" line are the wholesome, inspirational Christian romances with no explicit/pre-marital/etc. sex; in their African-American focused Kimani Press imprint, the "Arabesque Inspirational Romance" and "New Spirit" lines seem to be taking a similar religiously-focused, nothing explicit angle. There's probably a few more, those are just the first ones that jumped out at me on a quick browse.
