I’m so excited to share that my next novel, Vanilla Without You, is now available for preorder.

This book has my whole heart. It’s an enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance about memory, healing, and the price of standing up for what you believe in. As always from me you can expect all the feels, twisty tropes, even wilder plot twists and a happy ending.

Here’s the official summary:

Vanilla Without You

Thandi Elowen, the self-made billionaire behind a groundbreaking scent-based memory tech company, is on the cusp of taking her company public. Known for helping others heal through memory restoration, Thandi quietly battles the weight of one memory she cannot access—a pivotal moment from her childhood that changed everything.

When a threat from her past reemerges, the trauma she’s long tried to forget rises with terrifying force. As public scrutiny mounts and the pressure to protect her company intensifies, Thandi must confront a danger that feels all too familiar.

Enter Ronan Thorne—a disaffected playboy-turned-strategist with an uncanny gift for reinvention. Brought in to help Thandi position her company for success, Ronan is the last man Thandi expects to depend on. But as the stakes climb and danger draws closer, Thandi realizes he may be hiding secrets of his own.

As sparks ignite between them, their connection deepens in ways neither anticipated. But the closer they get, the more dangerous the path becomes. To stop what’s coming, Thandi will need more than memory. She’ll need to risk her company, her heart—and maybe even her future.

Tropes:

🌿 Billionaire romance with a female billionaire
🔥 Enemies to lovers 💘 He falls first

It’s Finally Here – Meet Rachel & Gaelen 💛

I’m so excited (and maybe a little emotional) to finally share that my newest novel is out in the world!

This is the story of Rachel Greene and Gaelen O’Hanlon—a hard-nosed journalist who doesn’t believe in love, and a quietly relentless doctor who refuses to give up on her. Their journey took me to some emotionally intense places: war zones and memoryscapes, borders and breaking points. But at its heart, this is a story about trust, healing, and what it means to choose love—even when everything in you says it’s safer not to.

If you read Beneath the Facade, you’ll recognize a few familiar faces popping in for cameos. That said, this story has a very different tone. Rachel and Gaelen’s world is rougher around the edges—more urgent, more suspenseful. The stakes are high.

While this novel may not be as quiet or dreamy as Facade, I hope you’ll still fall for these two the way I did. Their story isn’t about perfection—it’s about persistence, about soft moments in hard places, and about finding a way back to yourself through someone else’s faith in you.

Thank you for reading, for supporting, and for walking with me into this new chapter. I truly can’t wait to hear what you think. 💛

With all my heart,

Devin Em
