The Devil and the Deep Cover Piece Reveal #1!

Houston, we have a release date!!!

*cue the confetti and streamers*

it’s true, I have finally set a date for THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP to launch on Amazon, and I’m so excited for you to get your hands on this new world (with a few old faces in the mix).

Do you like stories with:
Actual plot?
Characters the make you feel things?
Hate-to-love romance?
Chosen family?
Morally grey MMCs?
Rightfully stabby FMCs?
Betrayal and revenge?
Forced proximity?
A little shadow daddy vibe?

If yes, then this new gritty urban fantasy series might just be for you. It’s been a while since I’ve gone back to my UF roots, and damn does it feel good. I hope you think so too.

Check out the blurb below to see if Myra and Yael can tempt you…

All Myra Morningtide wants to do is go home.

Unfortunately for the cursed mermaid, she’s been banished from the sea and landlocked in The Devil’s Playground—a rogue pocket of Seattle that the outcasts and miscreants of the supernatural world call home. Myra would do anything for the chance to return and enact revenge on the one who betrayed her; the one responsible for her punishment.

And Yael Kristoris plans to exploit that truth.

The charming yet cunning fae from Myra’s recent past can’t be trusted, but when deadly events force her into a magically binding deal with him, she has no choice but to use her secret power to help find what he seeks if she wants a shot at the vengeance she craves.

But as it goes in The Playground, exposure is dangerous and secrets can kill, and Myra fears Yael will risk both to meet his end—even if it causes hers.

THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP, the first gritty urban fantasy romance novel in the The Devil’s Playground series by USA Today bestselling author Amber Lynn Natusch.
