Crimson River
Lyla Eden has spent the last few years watching her siblings fall in love. Meanwhile, she’s married to her job. It’s on her hundredth consecutive workday that her sister stages an intervention, kicking Lyla out of her own coffee shop. With nothing else to do, Lyla sets out on her favorite hiking trail.
It’s there that she spots a man washing blood from his hands in a stream. One moment she’s staring at the jagged scar on his face. The next, his hand is around her throat. But by some miracle, he lets her go.
Shaken to her core, Lyla reports the incident to the local police. Two days later, Vance Sutter arrives in town, armed with endless questions and a tarnished badge.
Vance may be ruggedly handsome but he’s as mysterious as the man he’s hunting. And he’ll be gone from Quincy in a blink. Yet Lyla’s crush is impossible to stop.
No matter how hard Vance tries to ignore it, there’s no denying the chemistry between them. And avoiding Lyla is not an option. After years of chasing dead ends, she’s his only lead to closing the case that haunts his career. So together, they’ll retrace her steps.
To find the scarred man she met beside a crimson river.
Devney Perry
Devney Perry writes with the heart of someone who knows small towns intimately, their secrets, their charm, and the way love can burn quietly before it takes over completely. Her novels, whether rooted in Montana’s rugged landscapes or unfolding in fantastical realms filled with monsters and magic, carry the same signature: deeply felt romance woven into worlds that feel lived-in and real.
Her road to publishing was not mapped out early. After years working in the tech industry, she stepped away to raise her children, only to find her creativity stirring during the quiet moments at home. What began as a single blank document soon became her debut novel, and from there, she never looked back. Since then, she has written dozens of books, from bestselling small-town romances to her newest foray into romantasy with Shield of Sparrows.
