Dorinda and the Demon
A Nether-Netherland Story

Dorinda Lockhart, perhaps America's first honest politician, needs to win the impending mayoral election so she can prevent the incumbent from ruining her home town with his anti-feminist attitude and ridiculous ordinances. Unfortunately, her longtime campaign manager's behind bars in Tijuana, and now Dorinda's on her own against a rival with age, gender, and a devilish case of good fortune on his side.

Gabriel Nash, an upwardly mobile demon, hates being a mere Hades contractor and is after a promotion with better perks, such as a few lackeys of his own to control. He just has to head up to Earth's surface and corrupt some do-gooder female politician so the Devil's pick--a megalomaniac who bartered his soul--stays in office.

As soon as the prim politician's soul tips far enough out of balance, demonkind will be able to knock her out of the race... permanently. Gabe's never met anyone so passionate about being a "good" person. As her new campaign manager, he can show her one hell of a good time and tempt the curvy candidate to sample his wicked ways.

Dorinda turns to Gabe for advice--but ends up with an unfamiliar passion that lays bare more than just her body. As a woman whose entire life has hinged on her unfailing self-control, she cannot transcend from the mere physical to true intimacy without risking her dreams, her self-image, and her heart. Is it a fall from grace if her sexy adviser is the only one who knows the true nature of her soul?
