1 y separately published work icon Fateful Hearts K. E. Osborn , Adelaide : K. E. Osborn , 2023 26487725 2023 single work novel romance

'Some might see me as heartless… Because at work, I am cold, calculating, ruthless, and I demand nothing but the best. No exceptions. But when in fact—I’m craving the woman I can’t have.

'We all know there are rules that can’t be broken. I made the mistake of wronging my business partner, Nash, once before. I won’t do it again, not if I want to keep my position by his side in this company. But my eyes are firmly set on his PA.

'Zoey Zavorelli—the sassy, single mother. Sexy. Methodical. Alluring. Far too tempting. There’s only one problem—no office romance. Nash’s rules are strict. But an opportunity presents itself when Zoey’s ex tells her he’s getting married, and I can’t help myself.

'I tell him we’re dating, and now we have to pretend to be in a relationship for the next two weeks until his wedding. Will this be exactly what we need, or will it cause our fateful hearts to break?'

1 y separately published work icon Penance K. E. Osborn , Adelaide : K. E. Osborn , 2023 26486307 2023 single work novel romance

'I'm not sure how it happened. The way the cord of life can splinter and snap without warning. My family—in hiding from the Japanese Yakuza. My club—at war with the very organization my family is hiding from. Though, amidst the chaos, there is one shining light. A Spanner in the works. A woman who’s not only the complete opposite of me, and everything I stand for, but a woman who my parents should frown upon. She’s brash, where I am guarded. We shouldn't work. This story isn't about a dynasty reuniting and mending old wounds—it's betrayal, deception, conflict and turmoil. Bloodshed—it's coming. Who will pay the ultimate penance?'

'Everything changed in the blink of an eye. I wasn’t expecting it. The way my life would be irrevocably altered in seconds.

'Sophie was a painful part of my past I’d rather forget. Fifteen years ago, she packed her things and hightailed it without a word. Now she’s back—but she brought with her my teenage daughter, whom I didn’t know existed.

'At first, I felt betrayed.

'I don’t know how to be a father.

'The problem is—I don’t have a choice.

'Sophie is sick and running out of time.

'But even with the dark clouds swirling with fear and uncertainty, I have one guiding light—Frankie. We’ve been darting around our feelings for a while.

'But maybe we’ve left it too long because I have responsibilities now.

'People who need me to take care of them.

'But maybe Frankie needs me to take care of her too.

'And if I lose sight of that, will I end up putting her in the ultimate danger?'

'I don’t believe in miracles. Ever since she was taken. She was simply gone, and it changed who I am as a man.

'But as the years passed, the trail grew colder. I joined the club to help in my search, but what I wasn’t expecting was to meet someone new.

'Lani’s funny, outgoing, absolutely beautiful.

'But I have reservations.

'The problem is—I’m waiting for that miracle.

'But am I missing out on something amazing because I’m holding back?

'But she brings with her the eight years of trouble.

'I want to help her, to protect her.

'What if everything was torn from you when you thought you had it all?

'Confused, enraged, ruined—that’s how I felt when she left that day, and it took every ounce of strength I had not to go after her.

'Our connection was a slow burn.

'nd it had begun to rage.

'Until she blew out of town, with no warning, completely extinguishing the flames.

'Now she’s here, standing on the doorstep, holding a piece of me I never knew existed. I should be angry. I should be hurt. But there’s no time for that. Threats have been made, and now it’s up to my team and me to bring down the almost untouchable elite coming after them.

'I’ve already lost enough time, and I’ll protect them with my life before I go another day without the now most important parts of my world.

'Our fire is stronger than before.

'And they’re coming for my family.

'But we’ll use it to burn them to the ground.'

'I hide behind humor… Because that’s what you do to deflect the traumas of your past—to make people believe you’re something you’re not. Completely fine. When in fact, you’re broken—a shell of the man you want to be.

'Despite my past, I made something of myself. As the COO of my best friend’s company, I aim to be the best at everything—business, life, in the bedroom. I earned myself an ego in all areas. Then she walked in. Paisley Drake—the temptation I can’t resist. Spirited. Artistic. Seductive. I have to have a taste. But there’s just one problem—one night with her would never be enough. I’m that guy who always ditches the next morning. Though she’s worked her way under my skin, my past haunts me every step of the way. I’m going to hurt her. But when she leaves, taking a secret with her, will our guarded hearts be open enough for us to find the happiness we least expected?'

'Step up and be a man…

'All I need now is that one huge client for my business to soar, to rocket me into the stratosphere where I belong.

'And to do that, I need help. I need her.

'Brianna’s determined to keep her distance.

'I’m struggling to stay the course.

'But in the end, will our hostile hearts give in to temptation?'

'Family is a bond. One that can’t be broken. But what if I want to bend the rules?
