Welcome to Undercurrents of Romance with host Tracey Devlyn!

In Episode 20 of Undercurrents of Romance, Tracey Devlyn sits down with AdriAnne May to discuss her debut adult romantasy, Exquisite Ruin.

Only a gifted storyteller could make a deadly maze this sexy. In Exquisite Ruin, AdriAnne May weaves simmering tension, jaw-dropping stakes, and the kind of romantasy that leaves a mark.

A deadly maze. A forgotten past. Trapped with a dangerous demon she can’t resist, a sorceress must uncover the truth of their tangled history to escape. But as passion reignites and secrets unravel, she begins to wonder if the real monster isn’t lurking ahead—but already beside her… or within.

💖 Adult Romantasy | Amnesia, Forced Proximity, Enemies-to-Lovers, Second Chance

“Unique, sexy, and action-packed.” ―Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestseller

She splits her time between Alaska and Spain with her spouse, her pugs, and her piles of books. She loves dancing, tattoos, and writing stories about sympathetic monsters. Exquisite Ruin is her debut adult novel, and she is currently working on its sequel, Divine Descent.
