Lost Legends is a new romantic-suspense series from Devney Perry, launched with Bluebird Gold, a dual-timeline, small-town mystery set in Montana in 1983. The book follows a woman who returns home to grieve her father only to be drawn into both a decades-old murder and the legend of lost Montana gold that's shadowed the town for generations, with the local sheriff pulled into both the investigation and her life. It's a heavier, more mystery-driven register than Perry's contemporary small-town romance, closer in spirit to her Clifton Forge series than to Jamison Valley or Lark Cove, with a period setting (the early 1980s) that's new territory for her.
As the first entry in a named series, Bluebird Gold sets up a world and mythology, a lost gold legend, a town with buried secrets, that has room for future entries, though no second book has been confirmed as of this writing. Readers who enjoy her suspense side from Clifton Forge, or who want a slower, mystery-forward romance rather than a purely contemporary one, are the natural audience.
Start with Bluebird Gold, the only entry published so far. It's a complete, self-contained mystery with its own resolved central romance, so there's no series-order puzzle to solve yet; just be aware the story is set in 1983 rather than the present day, a shift from Perry's usual contemporary settings.
One so far: Bluebird Gold, published in December 2025. No second book has been confirmed as of this writing.
A dual-timeline romantic suspense set in 1983 Montana, following a woman investigating her father's death and a local legend of lost gold, alongside the small-town sheriff drawn into both mysteries.
No direct crossover has been confirmed; it's a new setting and cast, though tonally closer to the suspense of her Clifton Forge series than to her lighter contemporary romances.
It's too early to say. Only one book has been published, and the series is being tracked as ongoing until a second entry is confirmed or the series is otherwise closed out.
Romantic suspense with a mystery/legend hook, set in the past (1983) rather than the present, a departure from Perry's usual contemporary small-town romance.
