Daryl Devore writing as Victoria Adams author of Love in the Key of C.

Please tell us about yourself.
Two writers in one. Daryl Devoré writes hot romances with sexy heroes and strong heroines. Victoria Adams is Daryl Devoré’s alter ego when she’s inspired to write sweet romances with little to no heat.
Daryl (@daryldevore) lives in an old farmhouse in Ontario, Canada, with her husband, a large salt water aquarium full of fish, a black cat named Licorice and some house ghosts. Her daughter is grown and has flown the nest. Daryl loves to take long walks on her quiet country road or snowshoe across the back acres, and in the summer, kayak along the St. Lawrence River. She has touched a moon rock, a mammoth, and a meteorite. She’s been deep in the ocean in a submarine, flown high over Niagara Falls in a helicopter, and used the ladies room in a royal palace. Life’s an adventure and Daryl’s having fun living it.
What is your go-to meal when you dine out?
Fish and chips. I could have mentioned meals in more upscale restaurants, but I’m guessing I’ve eaten more Fish and Chips than anything else. I have used the setting of a Fish and Chips restaurant in two books. It’s a relaxed atmosphere with comfort food.
Describe the perfect vacation.
I can do that in two words – the beach. I am at peace at the beach. I love to walk along the sand lost in my thoughts, splash in the water and just inhale the freshness of the salt air.
What are your hobbies?
I adore yoga and attend several classes a week. My favourites are Yin Yoga and Wall Yoga. What is Wall Yoga? Picture me hanging upside down – like a bat. Awww. So good.
When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?
I am a British Murder Mystery fan. I have complete collections Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Dorothy L. Sayers and Ellis Peters. I love nothing more than to curl up on a cold winter’s day, next to our woodstove with a hot chocolate – with marshmallow of course – and a fantastic murder mystery.
What kinds of things do you read when you’re researching a new book?
I have two pen names, who write very different heat levels, so it depends on who I am as I am researching. As Daryl Devore, hot romance writer, the websites can get rather explicit as I look for new ideas or plot twists. For this latest book, I am writing as Victoria Adams and I researched theatres in New York City, musicians, and flutes.

Genre Erotic Contemporary Billionaire

Author Daryl Devore

Book heat level R

When secrets conflict with dreams, love explodes.

After a mistake by a surgeon’s scalpel shattered Fuchsia
Quinn’s dance career, she picked up the pieces of her life and moved forward.
As the owner of a small, struggling dance school in a depressed neighborhood
she supplements her income with a late night job at a dive bar. Haunted by the
fear of humiliation, if her secret is revealed, her life was under control
until the night he walked into the bar.

Peyton Lang, having run from a bad neighborhood, lives the
lifestyle of a successful billionaire. Frustrated that his current
multi-million dollar project is stalled, Peyton drops in to LEATHER-ICIOUS for
a simple drink and late night entertainment. What he saw was a beautiful
redhead. What he found was he wanted her.

After a lusty night with a hot pole dancer, Peyton and
Fuchsia’s worlds are about to collide.

Birthplace: Alaska, USA

Profession: Billionaire

Describe his/ body build, skin tone, height and weight.
Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars: Fair skinned, 6’2”, 180 lbs of toned muscle,

Who is the
significant other in your character’s life?

Fuchsia Quinn

Tell us about this
character, please.

Peyton travelled from Miami to East Millburg (which is based
on Detroit) to negotiate a business deal with a woman who was blocking a
multimillion dollar project. The evening before the meeting he drops into a
dive strip club for a drink and some entertainment. He is captivated by a red
headed pole dancer. By chance he meets her in a diner later that night. They
have a hook up at a local inn. Next day he meets the woman and it turns out to
be the pole dancer. She runs a small ballet school for underprivileged
children. She’d been a professional ballerina, but an accident and then an
unsuccessful surgery ended her career.

Fuchsia Quinn is struggling with the loss of her dream job
and forced career change and the challenges and frustrations of teaching in a
severely depressed community. She’s furious with Peyton for trying to close her
school just to build a mall. But she’s also in love with the handsome and
charming man.

How does your hero
dress?

Tailor man suits – Hugh Boss, Armani

Does he scrape by,
live comfortably, live extravagantly?

With a penthouse condo on the waterfront in Miami and a 3-storey
log cabin to retreat to on weekends in Alaska and a private jet to fly from
coast to coast- I’d say he lives extravagantly.

What is your
character’s viewpoint on wealth?

He loves wealth. His father ran out on the family and his
mother struggled to raise two children. His father was killed in a bar brawl
and left him a fortune which he then tripled in dollar worth.

What is your
character’s family like?

Peyton’s mother is an alcoholic. The struggles of her
younger life were too much and she took comfort in a bottle. Peyton and his
sister have tried to get her sober, but the lure of the whiskey is too much.
Peyton’s younger sister, Lanna, is a proud woman who loves her older brother
dearly. Peyton assumed the male father figure role after his father
disappeared. When the pressure got too intense he took to drinking and started
to run with a gang, but sobered up when Lanna confronted him.

Is he close to
family?

Very. His protective of his little sister and her daughter
and has built a lovely home for his mother in Miami and keeps her well looked
after.

Does he have
children?

Not at the beginning of the book. He has a young niece he
calls Princess whom he adores. He adores her enough to sit through her ballet
recital.

How do others
perceive your character based upon looks, and is this assumption accurate?

A successful rich billionaire who has a lucky streak a mile
wide. Not completely true. He got a headstart, but he worked hard to grow that
beginning into a sizeable fortune.

Does your character
care about what others assume about him?

No. He is his own man. The world can follow him.

BONUS:

What do you think your biggest flaw is?

My Temper. It has gotten the better of me on several occasions and gets me into trouble quite a lot.

When there is a
setback, what doubt or flaw surfaces?

My arrogance. When Fuchsia kept tossing up road blocks
stopping the construction of my latest project, my pride jumped forward
demanding “Who is this woman? And why does she think she can stop me? Me!”

What can I say – I’m human

How do you handle
challenges?

I rub my hands together and settle down to work it out. I
have a basic belief anything can be solve I f you throw enough money at it.

About Your Writer

Why do you think your
writer chose to write about you?

Because I was pounding on the inside of her head demanding
that my story be written.

What do you wish your
writer had not told others about you?

The scene where I was an absolute bastard to Fuchsia. It
showed my angry, petty side and I’d rather the world just thought of me as a
handsome, charming demigod.

What other character
from your book do you think your writer should write a book about, and why?

My sister Lanna. She had an interesting life being my little
sister, but if it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be the man I am today. She made me
sober up and grow up. I owe her a lot.

Why do you think your
writer loves to write?

I don’t know that she loves to write. While I was bouncing
around in her head there were a lot of other characters in there – several
people, some not human and even a dragon. I think she writes to get us out of
her head so she can sleep at night.

Is there anything
you’d like to say to your writer?

Thank you for writing Fuchsia into my life. I was just a
workaholic. The desire to make more money was my driving force. Fuchsia opened
my eyes and my heart.
