Author Spotlight: Devoted Sub
Meet Devoted Sub: vampire, demon and witch romance, haunted-house horror, a zombie road novel and two story collections, all built on possessive, devoted love.
By Maliven
Devoted Sub writes one kind of love story in a lot of different costumes. A vampire lord, a demon prince, a bar owner who can feed a succubus, a husband with a terrible secret: the hero is always possessive, the heroine always chooses him, and the promise on the cover is the same one the blurbs keep repeating: claimed, loved, kept, never abandoned. The books are explicit, mostly full-length, and dark in mood, but they are romances at heart.
