Heaven - ONC 2022 LONGLISTED - old version

DARKLINGS, FYI: a new, longer version of Heaven can be found here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/321729586-heaven

The arrival of a new priest, Father Caleb Hill, causes ripples in the sleepy community of Heaven, Arizona - a place full of people who have lost their faith in God.

Disgraced and damaged, Sina Noir works as a stripper at a local club catering to the needs of those who desire to drink enough to forget their existence.

When the two men meet, everything they thought they knew about themselves and their beliefs shatters and they find themselves entangled in a forbidden romance.

They weren't supposed to meet. They were never supposed to fall in love.

The prompts I'm using for the ONC 2022 are #39 (as my main) "Fine, make me your villain." -From Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo and #79 (secondary) A love so forbidden it was unspeakable. Who would have ever thought an Angel would fall for a Demon.

Warning for: bad language, dark situations (drinking, drugs, smoking, trashy clubs, etc.) and typical Christine darkness.
