de Vincent

About the de Vincent series

The de Vincent series is a Southern gothic romantic suspense trilogy centered on the de Vincent siblings, an old-money New Orleans family whose sprawling estate hides as many secrets as its members do. Moonlight Sins opens the series with a live-in housekeeper drawn into danger and desire by Devlin de Vincent, the coldest and most guarded of the brothers, setting the template for a series built on family scandal, buried trauma, and slow-burn romance under threat.

Each book turns to a different de Vincent sibling as new danger -- stalkers, secrets from the family's past, violence with roots going back generations -- forces them toward people they wouldn't otherwise let close. Jennifer L. Armentrout brings a darker, suspense-forward edge here than in her fantasy-romance work, closer to gothic romantic thriller than paranormal romance, while keeping her trademark intensity and protective heroes.

Complete at three books, de Vincent is a good option for Armentrout readers who want her voice applied to a fully contemporary, suspense-driven setting rather than her fantasy or paranormal series.

How to read this series

Read in publication order: Moonlight Sins, Moonlight Seduction, Moonlight Scandals. Each book centers a different de Vincent sibling, but ongoing family secrets and suspense threads carry across the trilogy, so reading in sequence is recommended. The series is complete and entirely separate from Armentrout's paranormal and fantasy series -- no shared world or characters to track.
