Weddings are supposed to be fun-glamorous…aren’t they?

I’m not so sure anymore.

Because the second my best friend Drew tapped me to Best Man at his own NYC nuptials, I realized that I was in for one hell of a ride.

Especially when it becomes clear that his younger, can’t-stay-out-of-trouble sister Sabrina will be the Maid of Honor and I will have to keep my usually-busy hands off of her.

Mostly, because she’s my best friend’s little sister. But more because she deserves better than a guy like me—a family screw-up with more secrets than good intentions.

I am sure of one thing, though: I owe Drew for saving me from a lifetime of mistakes.

It just didn’t occur to me that Drew might have his own mistakes, too. Dangerous ones that push me closer to that sharp-tongued Sabrina…

And closer to a ticking time bomb I never saw coming.

But after years of being “cute little Evie,” I’m tired of waiting for Mr. Right. I’m ready for Mr. Right Now, and Ian is everything I’ve ever wanted in a first time. He’s kind, funny, confident, and has a legendary…stick.

Seriously, his stick has its own page of search results, complete with gray sweatpants shots hot enough to make even a clueless virgin drool.

And yes, my brother will murder us if he finds out, but we’re both grownups.

We can keep a secret. We have to since I just landed an art therapy job working with his troubled team.

All we’re doing is a little practice. (Or…ehem…big practice.)

Too bad my heart didn’t get the memo.

Ian isn’t an anxious person.

He’s steady, chill, and confident.

To see sweat beading on his forehead as he moves to stand in front of the darkened television, studying the small stack of notecards in his hand is disarming.

Is he really this stressed about teaching a bunch of virgins how to make a love connection?

Or maybe it’s the fact that his best friend’s little sister just offered him her V-card on a platter.

The inner voice has an excellent point.

I have to find a wife.

And not just any wife.

A love match.

My parents gave me ten years to find a princess on my own, and the deadline has arrived.

I’ve outrun the palace guards for months, but due to an incident with a rooster Speedo that went viral, they have tracked me to America.

I’m not known for my stellar taste in the opposite sex. The last one put my naked pictures on Instagram.

But there is this one girl. I saw her in a New York deli making sandwiches. She helped me escape the photographers.

Smart. Beautiful. Quick-witted.

Yes. I choose her.

Now all I have to do in convince her to marry me.

In the next seven days.

The horde will come. They will consume. They will leave. The fearsome horde wasn’t supposed to be real… But then myth becomes reality in the touch of a savage.

There’s nothing we can do except wait for their departure, hoping they don’t take more than we have to give. The savage’s demands are swift and foreign, as is the hunger in his eyes. He only watches me and the fire in his gaze burns brighter the longer he stares. I’m beginning to think he’ll never leave… Or if he does, he won’t go without me.

Exclusive Excerpt:

He rubs his cheek against mine, the way a lion might greet his cub. He smells like something warm and inviting, like spiced cinnamon burning over sandalwood. He reminds me of winter nights spent under furs in front of a fireplace, and when he speaks into my ear in that language of his I don’t understand, it doesn’t sound barky anymore. It’s an invitation to touch him. I do. I press my palm against the sigil. This time, it does nothing to move the male. Instead, the male inhales sharply and starts purring from his chest. I gasp and jerk my hand away, then step back. Animals purr like that. “The sigil doesn’t lie,” he says. “Are you spelling me? What did you do to me?” “I did nothing.” “But you wield magic.” “I do.” “How?” “Very easily.” “You know what I meant.” I tug the buckles of the seven leather belts over his belly and release them. The belts fall, crashing all his weapons onto the floor. I spot a machete and pause. “You want to bleed me?” he asks. “What? No.” Well, maybe. “Then don’t look at my blades with longing in your eyes. That look is reserved for my c**k.” Unwilling to indulge in his flirting or whatever he thinks he’s doing, I shake my head. “Only the fae are born with magic.” Right? “Is that a question?” “No, I know about magic.” I know nothing of the sort. “I smell lies.” “Seriously?” The kilt hangs so low on his hips that it’s showing me his pubic hair. When I don’t remove the kilt, the male flicks the side of it with a red claw. The kilt falls like a curtain at the end of a theater play. And there it is, his almighty c**k rising to greet me and show off the sigil marking at the huge mushroom top of it. It’s identical to the sigil on his chest, except this one isn’t gold. “Are you longing for it yet?” he asks as he brushes past me. Water splashes as he enters the tub. I stand there, staring at the place he vacated, wishing I hadn’t said no in the first place…

One we thought we could win.

The moment the club tried to outsmart the Militia, the battle lines had been drawn.

As the brotherhood of the Houston Defiance MC, our job is to be loyal. To show respect when it’s due. There are ranks in place for a reason.

Prospects will fight the system.

Those we love will fall.

Chaos will rule the streets of Houston.

Can the club survive, thrive, evolve?

Change is on the horizon.

The dawn of a new age.

Romances will flourish, the enduring relationships will prosper.

But not everything is smooth sailing.

Everyone will be tested.

But in the end, will Houston Defiance Survive?

From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes the highly anticipated final book in the Houston Defiance MC Series.

Hope Hays, a divorced mother of two, has decided it’s finally time to test the waters in the dating world. Her first excruciating attempt at flirting combusts—the failed experiment even more humiliating as it is witnessed by a handsome stranger.

Political advisor Jordan Delaney swam with D.C. sharks until he bled. Now licking his wounds in his hometown, he is reluctantly intrigued by the quirky redhead chatting up a bartender with obscure chemistry facts.

In this small-town meetings are unavoidable and Jordan finds Hope’s awkward sincerity refreshing after the poker faces of politics. He falls for her the more he knows her, fearing she’d like him less if she knew him more. Hope falls for the man who makes her feel seen even though she’s certain someone like him would never want a single mother’s unglamorous life.

Their undeniable chemistry is an inflammable combination, but her scars and a secret from his past threaten to burn them both down.

‘You Didn’t Know Me Then’ is perfect for readers who love small-town, slow-burn romance, opposites attract, a relatable, everyday heroine, and the gorgeous man (inside and out!) who falls for her. It’s book 2 in the Riviera View series but can be read as a standalone.

Wind Dragon princess Cara and ex-cop Decker will have to cross every line to be together—including the law.

At a Turning Point

It was a typical PI gig: track down the client’s newly discovered half sister. For ex-cop Seth Decker, finding Cara Ward was the easy part. Walking away from the sexy schoolteacher is going to be a whole different story.

At a Crossroads

Cara thought she had the road ahead all mapped out—she’d be a biker’s old lady, straddling a Harley behind the man she fell for in her teens. But she’s all grown up. And while the Wind Dragons will always be family, Cara wants something more, something for herself. Decker may not be a biker, but that means his woman will always come first.

Caught in the Cross Fire

Once an MC princess, always an MC princess, though. When Cara’s connection to the Wind Dragons puts her in the line of fire from a gang out for revenge, Decker realizes the safest place for her is by his side. After all, there’s nothing he won’t do to protect the woman he loves. Even if it means crossing the line of the law he once swore to uphold.

Well, all that patience is about to pay off—why else would he invite her to join him on tour, if not to finally confess his feelings?
