Belle, an art student in need of a place to work on the paintings for her evaluation, makes the mistake of leaving it to her bungling cousin Craig to find that place for her. And find her a place, he did... "Craig! You said this house was, and I quote, 'pretty and quaint, rich in history and character.' You did NOT say that it was squalid and putrid, rich in bad odours and horror! Come on! The lights aren't even working!" "I am in a house that has seen smugglers, refugees and criminals passing through its hallways. A house where broken clocks kick up a storm of sound at random intervals, a place where time doesn't matter and every minute hand follows its own path. An old mansion filled with sounds and secrets. Really nothing to inspire peace of mind..." As a storm wreaks havoc and the house wakes up, Belle is increasingly bugged by one very important question: Is the man sharing the house with her real, or is he just a very sexy mop?

Just your average nineteen-year-old girl doing her best at life. Then that happens. The unexpected. The impossible. The magic. When I first set foot on St. James Manor, a charming old house my parents bought and turned into a retreat for writers, I feel a sense of connection with the magical place. One night, I'm inadvertently transported to another realm. Disorientated and afraid of my new, mysterious surroundings, I'm found by two dark warrior lords, who mistake me for a boy. They even suspect that I am a member of a loose, violent bandit that is raiding their kingdom and kidnapping the civilians. Despite having a fun and adventurous soul, I find nothing exciting, as these two gorgeous warriors, tsundere Caleb and gregarious Felix, take me back to their camp and proceed to grill me about my background. When a group of bandits pursues me and I am lost in the wild, dangerous woods, an alluring vision-in-white of a lord appears. His name is Geoffrey, and his enthralling charm fascinates me. Of course, all that I want is to return home. But little do I know that finding a way home is the least of my worries because there are those with dark power who are hunting me down. Seven Devils and a Rose is a steamy reverse harem paranormal fantasy romance and the heroine will end up with multiple male leads.
