Carter
I’ve screwed up more times than I can count. Trouble has always been my shadow, and I’ve never cared much about fixing the messes I leave behind. But then I walked into a poker game and won something I never expected...her.

Brooke.
A girl with haunted eyes, a body that trembles but doesn’t break, and a past that makes me want to burn the world down. She’s fragile and fierce all at once, and she doesn’t know it yet, but she’s mine.

I’ll prospect for the club. I’ll swallow my pride, take the shit jobs, and do whatever it takes to earn that patch. Because with it comes protection that's not just for me, but for her. And I’ll bleed before I let anyone take her away again.

Brooke
Eight years. That’s how long I lived by someone else’s rules. Obey. Stay silent. Don’t think. Don’t choose. Survival meant being what they wanted.

Then Carter ripped me out of that cage, literally. He doesn’t bark orders like Marco did, but he also doesn’t let me drift. He sees me, steadies me, even when I can’t find my own footing. And he confuses me more than anyone ever has because he doesn’t demand, he asks.

I don’t know what freedom looks like. I don’t know what it feels like to be touched without fear. But every time Carter looks at me like I’m more than the sum of my scars, a dangerous thought whispers louder.

Maybe I can be his.
Not as a possession.
Not as a prize.
But as a woman who finally gets to choose.

A raw, emotional MC romance about a man willing to burn for redemption, a woman learning to reclaim her voice, and the kind of love that heals by breaking all the old rules.

Fame hit like lightning. Then vanished just as fast.

Until I sacrificed everything for love, and she tore it all apart.

Australia was never the plan, but neither was starting over.
Until a pink-haired goddess ignited what I thought was dead.

And maybe her.

AMPLIFIED

I controlled everything. Then she walked in and flipped the script.

PR was my territory—my safety net, my identity.
Until I lost my wife and daughter, and control became survival.

Moving forward wasn’t the plan, but neither was feeling again.
Until a glasses-wearing firecracker made my heart remember how to beat.

Recoil needs a comeback, and I need to learn to let go.
Getting under her skin is the storm I choose. Even that chaos feels better than silence.
If only for a moment.

She’s relentless. I’m damaged. But together, we’re everything.
Some battles start with surrender, but ours can only be amplified by the wreckage.

From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes a rockstar romance that turns grief into rhythm and rivalry into desire.

HEADLINER

Success feels hollow when you’re hiding who you really are.

Words were my enemy—the weakness I buried deep.
Until she looked past the rockstar and saw my truth.

An A-list actress wasn’t the plan, but neither was vulnerability.
Until Zaria offered to teach me what I’ve spent my life avoiding.

Recoil is rising, and I’m done pretending I don’t need help.
So when she becomes my light in the darkness, it’s only a matter of time.
After light, darkness always follows.

She’s untouchable. I’m broken. But together, we’re worth fighting for.
Some journeys begin with secrets, but the secrets we keep are headliners.

From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes a rockstar romance that proves vulnerability can steal the show. Headliner is a reverse age-gap, he-falls-first story where fame meets honesty, and the truth hits deeper than any lyric. When an A-list actress and a guarded artist collide, love becomes the real headline.
Previously published as Snare.

REFRAIN

I had the perfect list. Then my best friend shattered every box.

My checklist was gospel—ten traits, no exceptions, no compromises.
Until Alex became my wingman, and we hunted love online together.

Falling for her wasn’t the plan, but neither was rewriting everything.
Until this aqua-haired gallery girl made me question what perfection means.

Recoil found our rhythm, and I found mine was way off beat.
So when friendship turns to more, this time, I ignore the rules.
Rules are made to be broken, right?

She’s chaos. I’m rigid. But together, we’re the perfect match.
Some love stories start as friendships, but ours will refrain from being ordinary.

From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes a rockstar romance that will have your heart skipping beats. Refrain is a friends-to-lovers, slow-burn story of laughter, longing, and the ultimate grovel when friendship turns to fire. Because sometimes, the best duets start with heartbreak and end in harmony.
Previously published as Fret.
This is book four of the Recoil Series.

We all have our secrets.
Mine?
I have to kill my boss.
His?
He knows—and wants me anyway.

Roan Përmeti is gorgeous the way an approaching storm is.
Dark. Powerful. Ruthless.

He’s heir to a brutal Albanian crime family.
And the target I’ve been blackmailed into taking down.

That’s how I end up as a maid in his mansion.

I’m supposed to keep a low profile.
Collect information. Plot his downfall.
Remain unseen.

But once those stormy green eyes latch onto mine, they don’t let go.

At first, I can’t tell if it’s because he wants me dead or just wants me.

It doesn’t take long to get my answer:

Both.

One way or another, he’ll have me on my knees, begging for mercy.

The cruelest part? I want the same thing.
