The Demon Always Wins

After beating his boss at the poker table, ambitious demon Belial must appease Satan, so he takes on a new bet. If he can get God's champion to curse God before the deadline, Hell gains another soul and Belial earns a coveted promotion to chief executive demon-second only to Satan himself.



The demon always wins, but this time the deck may be stacked against him. Widowed nurse Dara Strong is the ace up God's sleeve. The granddaughter of famous demon fighters, Dara has no problem recognizing Belial when the demon in doctor's disguise appears in her clinic. She kicks him out the door.



But Belial, the most successful soul-stealer in the history of Hell, is not about to give up easily. He may look heavenly, but his soul belongs to Satan.



As the battle between these cosmically well-matched opponents escalates, so does their passion. 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.
