About the Author

Rhyme Devereux is an adult romance writer. Born and raised in Maryland, she is happily married with a handful of children, and two dogs living in Pennsylvania. After turning forty-something, Rhyme realized that she's a late bloomer (and wears that label with pride). Her passion for reading transitioned into writing romance books to share with other readers.

When she's not writing or daydreaming about characters, and plot twists, you can find Rhyme being a housekeeper, tutor, chef, referee, loving mother, and wife. And if she has some spare time, you will catch her lying in bed wearing holey pajamas, while reading a good romance or mystery-thriller.

Thanks for wanting to get to know Rhyme better. But by far, her books are much more exciting.
