ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 22, 2022

I can’t remember anymore if my grandfather’s eyes were blue or green, but I’ll never forget the way they wrinkled at the corners when he laughed at one of his own jokes. Or the way they sparkled with mischief when he told me tales about the magical creatures that dwelled in the forest behind his humble Irish sheep farm—shy fairies who liked to eat tea biscuits, cruel witches who liked to eat children, a moody lake spirit with a taste for expensive gifts.

As a child, I believed every fantastical word. But when he warned me about the mute boy who also lurked in those woods, the one the priest had declared to be the spawn of Satan himself, I refused to listen. Kellen wasn’t evil. He was kind, and beautiful, and special, and hurting. He was my friend. And with every summer I spent stolen away with him in those enchanted woods, he grew to become so much more.

But when I return to Glenshire as an adult, grieving and engaged to someone else, all those legends quickly morph into nightmares.

My grandfather had been right about everything, especially the boy.

If only I had listened.

REVIEW: DEVIL OF DUBLIN is a contemporary, adult, stand alone, dark,erotic, Mafia romance shrouded in Irish folklore and magic. This is Kellen ‘Devil of Dublin’ Donovan, and Darby Collins’ story line.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers

Told from dual first person perspectives, covering several years in the life, DEVIL OF DUBLIN follows the building relationship between American Darby Collins, and Irishman Kellen Donovan. For several years, from the age of eight, Darby Collins and her mother would visit Ireland, where she would meet a young battered and bruised ten year old boy Kellen Donovan, a boy she believed had lived with the fairies but several years would pass wherein Darby lost her way, and Kellen continued to suffer at the hands of a man determined to destroy his soul. Years later, Darby would return to the magical land of fairy tales but the fairy tales were now stories of horror, and Darby was about to fall into the middle of a criminal nightmare. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Darby and Kellen, and the fall-out as the Russian Bratva, and Irish Mafia take aim at our story line couple.

The relationship between Darby and Kellen began when Darby was eight years old, and every year after, Darby would return with her mother, hoping to see the boy that had stolen her heart but life and death did their best to destroy our story line couple, leaving two broken souls whose lights no longer shined, in the wake of betrayal and abuse. Reuniting with Kellen, twenty-two year old, Darby knew her path going forward was beside the man that she loved but the path had never been easy, it was crooked, dangerous, magical and long. The $ex scenes are intimate, intense and heart breaking.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Darby’s mother and grandfather, and a curmudgeon uncle, as well as several members of the Russian Bratva, and Irish Mafia.

DEVIL OF DUBLIN is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, abuse, assault and neglect, acceptance and love. The premise is dark and raw; the romance is heart breaking and emotional; the characters are broken, determined and struggling to survive.

BB Easton is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN, the hilarious, steamy, tell-all memoir that inspired the Netflix Original Series, SEX/LIFE. Within the first month, SEX/LIFE was viewed by 67 million households worldwide, making it the 3rd Most-Watched Netflix Original Series of all time.

BB was a stressed-out school psychologist and mother of two when the inspiration to write 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN struck. Through that process, she rediscovered her passion for writing, became dangerously sleep-deprived, and finally mustered enough courage to quit her job and become a full-time author.

BB went on to publish four more wickedly funny, shockingly steamy, and heartwarmingly autobiographical books in the 44 CHAPTERS series: SKIN, SPEED, STAR, and SUIT. Since then, she’s been hard at work writing fictional stories that appeal to her love for us-against-the-world romance, including a dystopian trilogy (PRAYING FOR RAIN), a psychologist-client romantic comedy (GROUP THERAPY), and a dark mafia romance (DEVIL OF DUBLIN).
