Hired Man: Seven Archangels

By Jane Lebak

Punished for a year due to a slight infraction, the Archangel Gabriel is living with a human family, in a human body, working as a servant until he can return to Heaven. He thought he’d be tending sheep and harvesting grapes, but now it’s the middle of the night, and he’s got a suffocating five-year-old girl in his lap. He’s never even felt a fever before, but somehow, he needs to save this child’s life.

And then they expect him to deliver a baby. He’s never done it before, but how different can that be from delivering lambs?

These stories fit into the timeline of Seven Archangels: An Arrow In Flight. They can also be purchased as part of the Seven Angels Short Story Bundle, along with Even A Stone, Winter Branches, Damage, and eight bonus shorts.
