Led Astray (1985) and The Devil’s Own (1987) are a pair of connected romances from Sandra Brown’s early career. Both are set in the South and deal with passionate relationships complicated by family loyalty and secrets. Led Astray centers on a woman who falls for her fiance’s brother after a tragedy, while The Devil’s Own follows another couple in the same circle.
These books come from Brown’s prolific mid-1980s period, when she was writing multiple titles a year and building a loyal readership. They have the emotional intensity and Southern flavor that would later become hallmarks of her bigger suspense novels like Slow Heat in Heaven and Breath of Scandal.
