The Donovans: Sizzling. Suspenseful. Sophisticated.

For lovers of the award-winning Donovans and Donovan Dynasty Series, comes this glimpse into the beginning of a legacy built on faith, love and drama.

As Gertrude “Gran” Donovan celebrates her eighty-first birthday and a day later takes her last breath, her sons, Rowan and Charleston, must split their time between grieving and dealing with remnants of a deal they made with the devil.

Isaiah “Ike” Donovan and his wife are raising six sons they plan to usher into the family oil business one day. But two of their college-age sons have other ideas: Henry’s in love and Bernard’s chasing every woman who looks his way.

But no one pays attention to Bridgette “Birdie” Donovan. Not beyond giving the spoiled and entitled youngest daughter whatever she wants. Until what Birdie wants is what the Donovans fear the most.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This is a prequel to the Donovans and Donovan Dynasty Series. It is a short story that was previously published in the Donovans Uncovered: An Insider’s Guide. It is not necessary to read this before starting the Donovans or Donovan Dynasty series. However, this prequel SHOULD be read before reading SURI, the next book in the Donovan Dynasty series.
