The Devil You Know (The Devil Chronicles, #1)

by Kay Freeman

Overview

He promised to protect me and my children from my abusive husband, but who'll save me from him?

 

I signed a slave contract that said I'd do anything in exchange for his protection. I'm discovering anything covers a lot of territory. I never thought I'd fall in love with a criminal. Just so you know, Cruz owns a brothel, and he's a witch. Now, things are getting dire. Cruz MacKenzie is a man of contradictions…he loves art and philosophy, is sweet to my children, and told my husband to shove off, but can I trust him?

 

The Devil You Know is a pulse-pounding, first in a series dark romance novel. You'll love Kay Freeman's The Devil You Know if you like brooding heroes, a gothic atmosphere, and steamy chemistry. Play with fire tonight!

Age 18+ Content.

This book is not for everyone. This Gothic Suspense Romance Novella contains power exchange dynamics. The hero is morally gray and not a warm and fuzzy character. He also practices Wicca. Both the hero and heroine are survivors of physical abuse. He's a victim of child abuse, and she is a domestic violence survivor. The hero's mother suffered from drug addiction, and his father used his religious fervor as a weapon. Her mother committed suicide. The book also contains graphic descriptions of sexual activities. If you find any of this objectionable or triggering, stay clear. However, with all this said, the book is healing and hopeful and ends with a positive, loving relationship.

About the Author

Kay Freeman is a professional artist with an undergraduate degree in art education and an MFA in painting. She has shown her work all over the United States and was an art professor at the college level for many years. For the last several years, she's been pursuing her interest in writing stories about flawed characters and how a relationship between two people can transform them for the better. In her spare time, she attends blues festivals, enjoys sampling tequila, and reads and reads some more. She lives in Wilmington, DE, with her husband and a standard poodle.

Kay spent the first part of her career as a professional artist, teaching full-time at the college level and showing her art. She has an undergraduate degree from Moore College of Art & Design and an MFA from Vermont College.

Author Skye Warren's book, The Pawn, was the first romance book that she fell in love with.

Now, she uses words instead of paint and wood to reveal universal truths and confront the human longing to connect. She believes romance transforms the heroine, the hero, and the reader and that reading a good romance takes you on a journey, healing both the author and the reader.

Romance writer Calia Wild (A.R. Case) selected Kay as a mentee for the Romance Writers of America mentorship program, called RAMP, in 2021. Then The Wild Rose Press, Scarlet Imprint, placed her novel, Truth Moon, under contract, for a spring 2023 release. Plus, her second book in that series, Tarot Moon, is in the editing phase.

Kay also writes for substack, What Do Romance Writers Think About? to give back to other writers the kind of support that she's been so privileged to receive.
