Welcome to Undercurrents of Romance with host Tracey Devlyn!
In Episode 7 of Undercurrents of Romance, Tracey Devlyn sits down with Anthony-nominee Heather Levy to discuss her new romantic thriller—THIS VIOLENT HEART.
After a tragic incident at work, therapist Devon Mayes returns to her hometown, where the mystery of her best friend Summer’s suicide still lingers. As she digs deeper, she’s forced to confront her tangled past—her conflicted feelings for twins Keaton and Summer, the guilt that once clouded her bisexuality, and the truth she now hides from her family. But someone will do whatever it takes to keep the past buried.
“An utterly unputdownable read that hurts and heals in equal measure.” ~ Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of Till Death Do Us Part

Heather Levy is a born-and-bred Oklahoman and graduate of Oklahoma City University’s Red Earth MFA program for creative writing. The New York Times called her Anthony-nominated debut Walking Through Needles “a spellbinding novel at the nexus of power, desire, and abuse that portends a bright future”; and the LA Times called it “a standout for its frank but sensitive exploration of trauma and desire.” Publishers Weekly said her thriller Hurt for Me “delivers both heat and heart.”
Her novels focus on kink-positive stories centered on complex women. She lives in Oklahoma with her husband, two kids, and three murderous cats.
