  Teresa wants Liam, but Liam resists. The broody former foster child detests her rarefied world and has no wish to reenact Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Fate has other plans. 
  No stranger to adversity, Liam Ryan has also cheated death. He kept himself and his twin sister safe through a tough childhood in the foster care system. Then, at age twenty-four, he took his first trip abroad and was blown up and presumed dead in a terrorist attack. Three years later an investigator locates him working as a security guard in Jerusalem.  
  Scarred mentally and physically by his ordeal, Liam needs space to decide what comes next. So he agrees to join his sister Ali and her new husband Joe at their sprawling estate in Port Townsend. Joe’s sister Teresa, fleeing a broken engagement and her controlling mother, also comes to stay. Liam mistrusts rich people, but Teresa, the kind of society princess he would normally avoid at all costs, is hard to resist. Especially when she becomes suspiciously accident prone and in need of a protector.

  Three brides have been given to me: Niamh is as delicate as the careful steps she takes, Selene is as challenging as the secrets she’s trying to unravel, and Amira who has been lost to me. 
  Someone has taken her and that fool does not realize that a King never forgives or forgets. 
  Blood debts must be paid and the collectors are knocking on doors. The Hand himself keeps the ledger and my name has been written in red. 
  Yet, no shadows appear at my doorstep. 
  He may be the Hand of the Kings, but I am Diarmuid O’Sullivan. Before this cult infiltrated Dublin, my family ruled it. 
  And this King always fights for his throne. 
  This time, I am not fighting alone. Despite my desire to keep them safe and secure, my brides have no fear of shadows. 
  In fact, they are determined to shine a light in every dark crevice where my enemies hide. 
  They don’t realize that if that light shines on me, they may not like what they see. 
  Some Kings are monsters. 
  When Kings Bend is the second installment of the O’Sullivan’s Brides. This is a dark mafia romance, intensified by the presence of a cult, with mature themes, mature language, and very mature steam. Discretion is advised but not encouraged.

  Since crash landing with his crew and being sold to a master on the ghost planet, Hanasha-Yupa, one thought keeps Tarex fighting: freedom. He’s been forced to do things that haunt him. He needs to escape now, before his captors change his brain and make him one of them. Forever. 
  He’s close to busting out when they throw the human female at his feet and demand that he do one more horrible thing.

  She’s dropped at the feet of an Axxeon who looks one step away from tearing anything he can reach limb from limb. 
  She sees the warrior in his eyes, the man he was before this place. Can she tap into it before it’s too late? Or will one of them come completely unleashed before they realize what fate has brought them together to do?
