How Sinclair and Raven Began
Wendy Vella, a New Zealand-based author with a lifelong love for Regency romance, launched the Sinclair and Raven series in 2016 with Sensing Danger. Inspired by the works of Georgette Heyer, Vella sought to craft a series that married the elegance of historical romance with a dash of paranormal intrigue. The result was a fresh take on the genre, where an ancient pact between the Sinclairs and Ravens sets the stage for stories of loyalty, love, and supernatural gifts. Vella’s background in romance writing and her knack for witty dialogue shine through, making the series a standout in her extensive bibliography.
The Heart of Sinclair and Raven
The series kicks off with Sensing Danger, where Eden Sinclair risks her life to save James, Duke of Raven, sparking a romance that defies his aloof demeanor and her duty-bound heart. In Seeing Danger, Lord Devonshire Sinclair discovers depth in the seemingly frivolous Lilliana Braithwaite as they face danger together. Touched by Danger follows healer Essex Sinclair and the mysterious Max Huntington, whose dark past complicates their growing bond. Tempting Danger introduces Alice Sinclair, whose practical nature is tested by the jaded Nicholas Raven in a tale of redemption and passion.
At its core, the series explores themes of duty, family, and the transformative power of love. The Sinclairs’ heightened senses—sight, hearing, taste, and more—stem from their pact to protect the Ravens, adding a magical twist to the Regency setting. Vella’s style is marked by sharp dialogue, strong female leads, and plots brimming with suspense and humor. Each book builds on the intertwined histories of the families, creating a rich world where romance and adventure collide against a backdrop of 19th-century etiquette and mysticism.
