*ONC 2024 entry* **Round Two Ambassador's Pick** **Shortlisted** She's an angel of love; an ill-fitting name, as she's no angel. She strives for a world devoid of pain and sorrow. A world of love; of sex and debauchery without consequences. Unattached forever, she's spent millennia ensuring her world remains free of the chaos caused by heartbreak--a term unknown to the humans she oversees. And she'll do everything to keep it that way, at any cost. Meaning she'll kill any who have malice in their souls, to ensure the survival of those who are pure; their hearts red, the color of love. He's the first of his kind: a demon of heartbreak. New to the world, he's thirsty for love, for carnal relations, but craving to destroy it all once he's had his fill. He seeks despair, but not without having a little bit of fun on the way. He's sent above the surface by his king, to spread his disease, until he meets a feisty, sinfully sexy, devious damsel with immense powers. Her heart is so red, so pure, that he has to have it. To crush it. He makes it his goal to seduce her, trick her, and make her his first heartbreak victim. But she's not an easy one to toy with, as her heart isn't as pure as she lets on. *** ONC Prompts 35, 19, 46

A jaded executive needs to save a horse and ride a cowboy instead. * * * * * When a careless mistake forces Manhattan financier and champion show jumper Alejandra Barros into a posh Colorado rehab facility as a term of keeping her jet-setting job, the perfectly chiseled abs of a local cowboy might be intriguing enough to make the workaholic reassess her priorities. But Ali doesn't count on hot-as-hell ranch hand Hank Mathis being just as physically and emotionally damaged as she is, even if he's a lot better than her at hiding it. These polar opposites will first need to be honest with themselves - and then with each other - to not only start to heal, but to also forge a relationship outside of Pebble Creek Lodge that's worth fighting for. Otherwise, Ali and Hank will risk losing the one thing that could truly make them happy: each other. * * * * * This book was previously published by Pocket Star/Simon and Schuster under the title: THE LAST RESORT (2017).
