Tess Mahoney owns Angel's Roost, a shop which specializes in angelic items. When Jake Cameron, the owner of Panda's, a popular coffeehouse across town, visits Tess's shop for the first time, he buys a large angel with a rakish halo. Naming her Faith and promising to pick her up the next day, Jake plans to place the angel in his coffeehouse. The next day, though, is Thanksgiving—so Tess ends up inviting Jake to her church to help serve a community dinner. Jake responds by inviting Tess to dinner and tells her he's considering moving Panda's downtown. As a member of the mayor's commission to rejuvenate the city center, Tess is pleased by Jake's news. More than that, though, she finds she's falling for him. But Tess wonders what Jake really believes about angels—and faith in general. Can they have a future together?
