When a not-so-human stripper falls in love with a blood-drinking priest, he will do anything to get closer, even risk the wrath of God and the homophobic congregation.
* * *
In Sina Noir's eyes, God isn't dead but He should be. Working as a stripper, he's seen the godly turn into savages and knows that religion gets you nowhere.
When his best friend's lover is nearly beaten to death by a member of the church for loving a man, Sina's hatred for God, Heaven, and the prejudiced church-goers grows.
After years of exile and drowning in alcohol and blood, Father Caleb Hill returns to civilization. His arrival in Heaven, Louisiana, brings people back into Saint Agatha's church after the passing of their previous priest.
A chance encounter finds Sina and Cal fiercely drawn to each other.
Sina, captivated by Father Caleb, will do anything to win his affection - even risk his own life.
Fearing his hateful congregation and his growing desire, Cal suppresses the way he feels until the day he almost loses Sina.

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.
