From Heaven, with Love

Even love gods get tired of love. At least, Armand does. For an eternity, he's been in charge of making sure humans find the "one", when a completely unexpected call for help throws him off track.

Sylvia, a 27-year-old assistant professor of art history, is fed up with love. For three years, she's been in a relationship with Edgar, who is as egoistical as he's unfaithful. All she wants is to be rid of her feelings for him, but she can't find a way out of this toxic relationship. When she gets dangerously close to a suicide attempt, she begs the heavens to free her from love.

This isn't one of Armand's usual calls. Intrigued and eager to escape the eternal boredom in his office at "Clouds of Love", he rushes down to earth to save Sylvia before it's too late, but when he suddenly finds himself caught up in feelings for her, this is only the beginning of his problems.

His ill-tempered boss, Mr. Z, is threatening to strip him of his immortality, and his on-and-off lover Natalia, the sultry and sex-hungry goddess of revenge, is not at all amused that Armand is kicking her off his god-sized bed.
Add to the mix a jealous and violent Edgar, who is not willing to give up Sylvia, Armand is in more trouble than he can handle.

Forced to make a choice between love and immortality, he must learn to trust his heart, or lose his chance at happiness that might not last an eternity, but could be forever.
