Growing up, I spent every night tucked under my mother’s arm, dreamily listening to tales from her favorite book series—Legend Has It by Darby Donovan, a collection of spooky folklore about a town called Glenshire and the lonely, gray-eyed fairy prince who haunted the woods there. I knew they were just stories, but when my mother died and left me in the care of my cold, abusive father, that fictional fairy prince suddenly became very, very real to me. It was as if he was always there, hiding in the shadows, offering me his silent comfort. I turned him into an imaginary friend when I needed one most.

And thirteen years later, I’m doing it again.

When my coastal Irish town is bombed by the new Russian president, a Bratva leader seeking revenge on the United Irish Brotherhood, those missiles destroy everything I’ve ever known—my home, my family, and evidently my sanity—because when I pull an injured Russian Navy officer out of the sea, a man who led the charge against my town, I can’t bring myself to let him die.

Secluded together in my secret hiding spot, we’re safe from the Mafia war raging outside, but the overwhelming connection I feel to this stranger is a battle I fight every single day. I hate him with everything that I am, but when he looks at me with those smoky gray eyes, all I see is my friend. When he touches me, all I feel is desire. And when he wraps his lips around the sustenance I offer him, all I want is to feel them pressed against mine, loving me, putting me back together.

But no one can live in a fantasy world forever, and when reality finally finds us, the truth about him is worse than anything I could have imagined.

The man I rescued is no fairy prince.

He’s the goddamn Devil himself.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: The Devil Himself is a continuation of Devil of Dublinand is not intended to be read as a standalone. It contains the same dark themes, graphic violence, and explicit content as Book 1, but if you have questions about specific subject matter, a comprehensive content warning can be found on my website. Thank you, and enjoy!

I didn’t think that I was going to get as emotional as I had but I should have known lol. I loved being back in Ireland the views sound in incredible with the folklore. The pain that Clover and Damien have endured is truly heartbreaking, the resistance they have is unmatched, even with everything getting thrown at them. I mean everything like literal war and still able to get their HEA. After reading this truly gripping story of Clover and Damien you can see they are truly meant to be. This book was everything and more. I can’t wait to see what other books Easton has in store. This was a top 2024 read for me.

Wilder Cromwell is pure temptation in a delicious package.
Gorgeous. Smart. Athletic.
He’s also my student.
The minute I saw him, I should have known better. 
But falling for him was as inevitable as breathing.  
He’s more than just a face in my class.
He’s the man who came to my rescue on one of my darkest nights.
Wilder has become a safe haven against my husband’s monstrous brutality.
Being with him is an escape from the cage my life has become.  
With him I’m adored and I’m safe—two feelings I’ve never felt before. 
But one mistake, on one unforgettable night, changes the course of my fate. 
Or maybe, it just put me on the path I was always meant to be on. 
Wilder and I might be wrong to the universe, but in his arms, nothing has ever felt so right.

This was heartbreakingly beautiful. Catherine and Wilder are student/teacher relationship. Cathrine has been through so much, my heart breaks for her. I was hoping that she was going to end up with someone fantastic, but she was able to get more, Wilder is her savior the true hero that she needed. Cathrine had built up some tall walls with her past relationship but that didn’t stop Wilder from trying to break them down. Wilder may be a young and charming guy, he’s also very mature for his age. The chemistry and banter are off the charts.
