THE DEVIL DEVERE SERIES

COMMENTARY FROM VICTORIA VANE

I think every writer dreams of creating characters who are larger than life, those so strong and intriguing that they can carry an entire series, even if not the primary focus of it. But Ludovic ”the Devil DeVere” who began as a rakish sidekick, became all that and then some. I never knew when I dreamed up my “HANGOVER” inspired novella  A WILD NIGHT’S BRIDE that one story would become two, and then three, and then four, all because of one secondary character. Hence, the birth of THE DEVIL DEVERE series, four scorching hot intertwined Georgian era romance novellas involving six main characters all connected through the devious Ludovic, Viscount DeVere. Now, without further ado, here is a brief  introduction to the books and  characters.
