DEVILS+HEARTBREAK:
SERIALISED
What if you had no memory of already falling for the stranger you just met?
Please note! D+H:S has already started, but you are still welcome to come along. You will not receive chapters that have already been sent but you can catch up on the members-only website!
D+H:S is Aud Pitch’s debut contemporary romance novel delivered straight to your inbox… chapter by sexy chapter.
Starting on July 15 2024, D+H:S is an invitation to lose yourself; to delve deeply, lovingly, and intentionally into a story.
“Heartbreak does stupid things to people…”
BLURB
When Owen Jameson meets the (very inebriated) woman of his dreams at a Melbourne art-show afterparty, he thinks he's found his Forever. But he wakes up the next day in her hotel room all alone with nothing but blurry memories and a pathetic, aching heart.
Six months later, fate brings them together once more when Owen discovers the enigmatic beauty is a rising star at MERAHPUTIH—the prestigious art gallery his grandmother co-founded in Jakarta, Indonesia.
As Srinaya Matthews immerses herself in curating a major exhibition, she can't ignore the magnetic pull she feels towards Owen, MERAHPUTIH’s legacy director and esteemed benefactor. Despite his claims that they've never met, there's something undeniably familiar about him, and Naya finds herself tempted to break all her professional rules for a chance at love.
But with whispers of her past threatening to tarnish her reputation, and the weight of Owen's titles looming over them, Naya must decide if she's willing to risk everything for a romance with the Golden God of MERAHPUTIH.
A better reason to scroll on your phone. ;)

The chapters feature more than just text though. Each one has a carefully curated spotify playlist with tracks that immerse yourself into Owen and Naya's tale.

Praise for the book
-
DEVILS+HEARTBREAK is a masterful debut from a fresh voice that bursts with smutty talent. Aud Pitch weaves a story that transcends generic genre tropes, delivering a gripping literary romantic drama that also happens to be smutty. The characters are rich, beautifully developed, and grounded in a realism anyone can identify with, relate to, and jump up and down to root for.

Devils + Heartbreak is an enjoyable exploration of culture, art, identity and connection. And great tits.

D+H is a vivid, masterfully crafted exploration of identity, desire, and the courage to embrace personal truth. I loved not only the human characters' realistic interactions and relatable quirks, but also how artworks and the physical setting throughout the piece feel like characters who contribute to the plot. There's a lot of explicitly detailed 🍆💧 so if that's not your jam, this might not be for you. But my favourite thing about those scenes was seeing a fat person described through such a caring, beautiful, sensual lens. My only complaint about this book is that it's not longer!
