The Demon Always Wins: Touched by a Demon Book 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949451023)

Seven short weeks. Ambitious demon Belial has just seven weeks to stack up a victory for Hell and earn his promotion to Chief Executive Demon, second only to Satan himself. If Belial can corrupt God's champion within the agreed time-frame, Hell will score bragging rights--and another soul. The demon always wins, but this deck may be stacked against him...

Seven long weeks. Although she doesn't know it yet, widowed nurse Dara Strong is the ace up God's sleeve. The granddaughter of demon-fighting missionaries, Dara recognizes the demon in doctor's disguise the minute Dr. Benjamin Lyle appears at her clinic. She boots him out the door, but the most successful soul-stealer in the history of Hell is not about to give up so easily.

Belial may look heavenly, but his soul belongs to Satan. As the battle between these cosmically well-matched opponents escalates, conflict breeds passion and passion transforms into something infinitely more complicated. Caught between a victory-hungry Satan and an unforgiving God, Belial and Dara discover there may be only one way to ransom the soul of a fallen angel: sometimes you have to go through Hell to claim your Heaven.
