| In Dark Angel, Heaven Leigh Casteel met her mother, Leigh's family. She finally met her grandmother, Jillian Van Voreen-Tatterton and Anthony Townsend Tatterton, Jillian's second husband. Jillian and Tony, had no clue that Leigh died after Heaven's birth. Luke informed that Heaven's mother died of cancer. Heaven also did not want her mother's family to know that Leigh had Heaven at the young age of 13, so she lied about her age by one year. Heaven began to see some of the dark secrets of Farthinggale Manor, Tony and Jiillian's mansion. She also discovered that Tony was the king of Tatterton Toys, which was where her precious doll was orignially made. The mansion also had a maze on the outside, which Heaven was instructed not to go through, for she can get lost. However, Heaven was very stubborn and inquisitive. As she traveled through the maze, she ran into Troy Langdon Tatterton, Tony's younger brother. At first, Troy and Heaven were close friends, but then after Logan Stonewall, Heaven's first love showed signs of abandonment because of her affair with Cal Dennision, she found love with Troy. At First their relationship was kept a secret from everyone, including Tony. Then they realized that their love was very special and decided to announce their engagement to Tony. At first Tony was upset to learn that Heaven disobeyed him, but realized that Troy came out his melancholy ways. Before their wedding, Troy came down with pnemonia. After Troy's condition was somewhat better, Heaven went back to Winnerow to locate her family: The Casteels. The first person she went to visit was Fanny, who just gave birth to her and Reverend Wise's daughter, Darcy. After Darcy's birth, Fanny gave up her parental rights to Darcy. She received the sum of 10,000 dollars and Rev. and Rosalynn Wise got to raise Darcy as their own. Fanny had a battle with her own concious and wanted her daughter back. She agreed to try to get Darcy back. Her first visit, was to Luke and his new wife, Stacie's home, in hopes to see Tom, not Luke. She still hated Luke for treating her the way he did. To her dismay, Tom was not at the house, he was in Atlanta with Luke at his circus. She did meet Luke and Stacie's son, Drake, Luke's dark-haired look-alike. She immediately took to him. After her visit with Stacie and Drake, she headed off to Atlanta to Tom. When she arrived and saw Tom, she told him of her plans to try to get Fanny's baby back. He tried to persuade her into not doing it, for Darcy was better off with The reverend and his wife. However, Heaven was pretty stubborn and intent on fixing the Casteel name. Before she went to the Wise's home, she came down with this horrible flu in Toby's shack. Logan was at her side the whole time and even offered to go with her to the Wise's home, but Heaven declined his offer. She thought that it would be better that she was alone when she talked to them. She did try to demand that they give Fanny back her child, but realized after the discussion that her and Reverend Wise had , that it was a better choice to leave Darcy there. After her trip to the Wises, Heaven finally made her way back to Farthy and her precious Troy. When She finally arrived back to Farthy, Heaven was confronted by Tony. Before Heaven's trip, she told Tony that she was going to New York to get some things for her and Troy's upcoming wedding. Tony found out where she really was and Heaven knew she was caught. Tony also revealed that he knew Heaven's true age. With that revealation, Tony also revealed a secret that he hoped to keep forever. Heaven finally realized why Luke had so much anger and bitterness to her: She was not Luke Casteel's daughter, she was Tony Tatterton's biological child. Of course this revealation stunned Heaven and also enraged her. Tony finally told her everything about her birth and Leigh's disappearance from Farthy. Tony was infatuated with his young stepdaughter and also angry with Jillian's self-absorbed attitude. In the end, Tony raped Leigh and Heaven was the result of it. With the knowledge that Heaven was engaged to her uncle, she was devastated and confused. She wanted to hide the information from Troy and live happily ever after with him, but it was too late. Jillian revealed the truth to Troy and wrote a note to Heaven, apologizing to her for departing the way he did. He took Jillian's horse, Abdulla Bar, and rode until he was thrown off. Tony later informed Heaven that Troy was killed in a horrible accident as a result of being throne off of Abdulla Bar. Tony and Heaven finally made a truce and consoled each other for the loss of Troy. Heaven graduated college and got her degree in teaching, so that she could persue her goal in becoming a grade school teacher in Winnerow. At her graduation party, there was a surprise waiting for her. She received a Rolls-Royce from Jillian and Tony,but the ultimate surprise was from Troy.

After the lavish party, Heaven made her way back to Winnerow, her home town. Before she arrived to Toby's shack, Heaven began her ultimate revenge for Luke. She dyed her hair silvery blond, which was Luke's "Angel's" haircolor. Heaven looked exactly like her mother. At the circus, Heaven was reunited with Toby, Fanny, and Logan. When Heaven caught the eye of Luke, he was in a trance. He thought his "Angel" came back to life. Unfortunately, the distraction caused a lot more trouble than Heaven intended.
