He has his own gifts - he’s incredibly smart and forward-thinking, at a time when many of the landowning aristocrats were on the decline because they refused to change along with the times. My best heroes are the ones I’ve fallen a little bit in love with while writing the book, and I definitely did with West. But I reflected that over the past four Ravenel books, West had become a strong character in his own right, and I had to trust him to hold his own. ![]() And then there’s West, a second son with no title, no fortune, and a past full of emotional baggage. Lisa: I was seriously concerned about that, because Sebastian has always been a scene-stealer, and by now he has acquired a presence. Did you find it difficult to create a hero in West Ravenel, who would be a strong man in his own right, given the powerful presence of Sebastian in the book? Devil’s Daughter is the story of Sebastian’s oldest daughter. Keira: Sebastian from Devil in Winter, now the Duke of Kingston, is one of my favorite heroes, and I am always delighted to see a story in his world. ![]() ![]() Lisa Kleypas: Keira, I’m so happy to be here, thanks for inviting me! It’s a pleasure to sit down for a chat with you. Her book Devil’s Daughter releases today and tells the story of Phoebe, the Duke of Kingston’s daughter, and West Ravenel. It was my distinct pleasure to have a talk with the wonderful Lisa Kleypas. ![]()
