Your Next Smutty Romance Novel Awaits
Three Men and a Baby Meets Modern Family
The Selfish Love Series is Heather Deveaux's second smutty romance trilogy and includes three stories about a group of four friends on the East Coast of Canada who don't seem to have any luck finding the kind of love they're looking for. Spanning 20 years and dripping with life-altering decisions, Charlie, Gale, Grant and Ellis go for broke to give everything up for the ones they love. Even if they won't love them back.

Meet Heather
Who doesn't love a happy ending?
There's a lot to be said about drama to bring a romance novel to life, but when it comes to third-act break-ups and miscommunication, I want no part of it. My characters are filthy to the bone and as honest as they come. Who has time to beat around the bush, anyway? I like a couple that gets to the point. I hope you do too.

![It’s all fun and games until you’re out with your girlfriend and your high school crush shows up to date the man your girlfriend set her up with…oh, but your girlfriend forgot to tell you. Whoopsie 🤷🏻♀️
My favourite part of this scene happens after Willow takes a seat because biker Brandon shows up and Charlie’s heart nearly calls a cab. He can’t take the teeth sucking and the pompous questions and the fact that Willow looks so damn good in that dress. But Brandon? He’s gotta go.
Girls Like You is available in book 1 of The Selfish Love Series. 🔗

![I have a son. But he doesn’t let me take pictures of him. So I present to you, Buddy the Elf.
He was aptly named by the shelter. We just didn’t realize it when we adopted him.
He tried to jump into a television. He yells at the garbage can. He’s cost me $3500 in vet bills for a problem he didn’t seem to actually have. He screams at doors and then runs away when you open them. He chews phone cords. He throws himself at windows and his fat ass doesn’t fit in a window so he camps out on things near windows, ever the persistent animal though and tries daily to get in the window.
He’s on a special diet.
He will eat your chips if you leave them unattended.
He ate an earwig in front of me. Not to mention countless Q-tips.
If he poured maple syrup on spaghetti, I wouldn’t be surprised.
But he’s a great office cat, my kiddo and I love him, and my god he makes us laugh.
The poor thing could use some more brain cells but we’ve got him. He’ll be alright.

Never. They’ll never learn. That’s what makes it a great book! 😂
Writing romance novels from the male perspective is an exercise I never thought I’d partake in, but like many authors, writing main male characters turned out to be one of my favourite things. And so I included two MMCs in this love story about life-long friends who circle around each other but can’t quite come together. Until they do. On the deck. In a snow storm. 👀🙈🔥🌶️😅 Wowzers.

![Oh, hello! 👋
I spent hours - literally hours - researching what made a romance novel cover attractive. I read over 100 books and compared covers to stories and feelings and trends.
And when it was all said and done, my self-published books fit right alongside some of the best sellers on the market today. You wouldn’t know I designed them. In fact, I get a lot of questions about who did the graphics. Me. It was me. And I freaking love them.

![I have been thinking about my solo cross-country road trip from 2022 so much lately, it’s wild. Someone on my YouTube channel asked where the rest of the videos were about the west coast and I went digging through photos and videos a week ago and haven’t been able to stop. I’ll make the videos for YouTube eventually, but in the meantime, I’m reliving some of the best times of my life. And honestly, resisting the urge to do it again. Like hard. Do you really need a trip like that twice in a lifetime? Maybe. And now that I know better about so many things, it would be easier this time. Gas is actually cheaper right now than when I set off that summer. Maybe I’ll teach a course on how to do a solo cross country road trip. It is the thing people ask about the most: “you went alone?”
Yeah. I went alone.
Was this the inspiration for Jeremy’s trip across the country in book 2 of The Blurred Lines Series? No. I’d already written that part when I hit the road. Was that book some pre-planning of my own trip? Maybe. He did spend leisurely hours doing the things he loved, eating gas station food and drinking bad coffee. But that’s fiction. My trip was real.
And now I’m planning to write a novel about van life. Something I know nothing about but damn if my imagination isn’t on fire these days. Plus, I do camper life. Same thing 🤷🏻♀️

![The work before the work…😂
It rained a lot this week so I took the time to clean my office. It’s where I run my business, write my books, pretend I’m working. You know, the usual stuff.
It’s also where I get distracted and plan trips I may never take, watch YouTube for hours wondering if I could make more money digital marketing lol and if buying a vintage camper and turning it into a mobile bookstore is probably the answer. I mean, I could sleep in the truck, right?
My office is filled with things I love, right down to the cheap blue rug on the floor, and is my favourite place to work. And even though I’ve had three different offices over the last year, (lots of moving) this one is my fav.
Fun fact: I painted the art on the walls. It’s Lake Louise. And I wrote some of the books on the shelf. And the white vase on my skinny shelf was a gift filled with flowers from my father when I got my tonsils out at 6 years old.
What do you love in your workspace?

![Ahhhh shelving books…
I do love a good shelf filled with books, but these happen to be a kajillion copies of my own books, that I wrote and finally unboxed after not selling as many as I’d hoped during my launch. So I unpacked them, made them pretty on my shelf, chased the cat away, and added some touches to add a little whimsy. I like it.
Do I wish I had no books because they sold out? Yes. But will I enjoy the look of these until they go to their forever homes? Also yes.
I also cleaned my entire office. It was a pretty good afternoon if I do say so myself. 🥰

![Toxic traits anyone?
Sure, my stories are contemporary romance novels of the spicy variety but the conflict and chaos of these stories is brought on by the humanity of my characters, specifically the things that make them tick: good and bad.
So let’s talk about the bad.
Willow: stuck in a revolving door life because of someone she knew long ago.
Charlie: pretends to be in love to stifle the pain of long-lost love.
Gale: doesn’t admit he needs people when all he wants is to be with someone he loves.
Ava: replaces bad dating habits with bad one-night stand habits. Pick a vice already.
Ellis: ignores his feelings because he can’t see the point of having them.
Grant: pretends his life is exactly the way he wants it.
There’s a theme here for sure: the characters of The Selfish Love Series will do anything for love. Except admit they need it. Because while unrequited love hurts, rejection and abandonment hurt more. So they do everything to protect their fragile hearts. Until they can’t resist anymore.
I love a good “I don’t need people” story. Probably because it’s the one I tell myself. But there’s nothing better than giving into the pull of someone’s love for you. And I hope you love how these characters overcome their limiting beliefs and find their way, together.
