Bliss River
by Thea Devine

In the steamy Bliss River Valley of South Africa, a colony of aristocratic British citizens live a debauched lifestyle free of all constraints. Into this hotbed of instant gratification comes Charles Elliott, who walks a tightly controlled line between two worlds, and not even Georgiana, seductive daughter of the Valley, who is desperate to escape its libidinous allure, can quench his thirst for vengeance. But when a shocking murder rocks the valley and Charles is the prime suspect, all bets are off for the would-be killer who will do anything to save his own life and the woman reckless enough to make a bargain with him.

Thea Devine's Bio

She’s the author whose books defined erotic historical romance. Romantic Times calls her “The Queen of Erotic Romance,” Affaire de Coeur: “… the divine mistress of sensual writing …” She’s Thea Devine (yes, it’s her real name), and she’s the author of 18 steamy historical romances (with three more to come), as well as contributing novellas to Kensington Books’ USA Today best-selling erotic historical romance anthologies, CAPTIVATED, FASCINATED, and TAKEN BY SURPRISE. She’s also written a handful of sexy contemporary romantic novellas for Kensington and Leisure Books, and she made her debut in full-length contemporary romance in 1999 with NIGHT MOVES, for Harlequin Temptation “Blaze”. She lives and works in Connecticut (and summers in Maine), but more to the point, she really lives that secret life readers sometimes think she does: for the past twenty years, she’s also been a professional manuscript reader. She was married to John and after 50 years of love and companionship, her husband passed away in December 2016, and has two grown sons, Michael and Thomas; and two sister felines, Charlotte and Emily Bronte Cat; and two dogs: mini-doxie Midgie, who recently joined the family; and the headstrong, stubborn and wilful black lab, Maggie, who has, Thea says, all the qualities of a good heroine.
