About the author

Dear Readers,
I've just rereleased an old Zebra Regency Christmas novella. Those of you who may have read it eons ago (chuckling here)will remember the older title: A Gift of the Heart. I've given it a new title, The Christmas Gift, and a new cover. The woman on my cover with red hair and grey eyes actually looks like the heroine in the story!
I love writing historicals and alpha heros. This particular story is about a reunion between two strong people who missed love at their first meeting, but find a second chance. Everyone needs a second chance.
I plan on re-issuing all of my Zebra Books Regencies and the three books and one novella I did as Amber Kaye. Please be on the lookout.
Amada Quick gave me a wonderful quote many years ago and I feel it sums up better than I ever could my writing and my characters. I hope you agree.
"Caution: Devon delivers romance that is definitely not for the faint of heart. She writes for those of us who like hot-blooded tales brimming with passion and danger."

Best,
Georgina

- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2016ALl of her stuff is really good. Try Scandal. It is even better.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2010I wish authors would get their publishers to note on the books or at least in the synopsis if this is book 1, 2, or 3 in a series. Although, each is a stand alone, Untamed Hearts, Scandals and Betrayal are a trilogy with The Rake, The Rebel and A Rogue's Seduction linked to the former. I wish I had known this before and read the books in order.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2013This was a good read. I am glad I selected this story. Four star. I really got into the story line. I want more.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2002Possibly 3.5 stars not 100% to my personal taste, too much mention of Dukes and Prinny.
Juliet decides to fight a duel rather than let her father fight one. Then complications set in.
From the back cover.....
The Rake has found a bride...
When Juliet Smythe-Clyde is forced
to spend several nights in the
Duke of Brabourne's house
- unchaperoned - her reputation is
ruined. And, despite his cynical
nature, Brabourne can't help but
feel sorry for her...
So when all his strategies to restore her in society fail, he offers for her hand. But will this proud chit agree to be his wife for the sake of her
honour - or is he going to have to
admit he loves her?
A Regency delight!
