“Bros
stick together no matter what.”
When Chris and Liam made that promise, they had no idea how
important it would become or how it would be tested in the most brutal way.
Nine years later, their bond cemented in blood, that relationship is all they
have to hold on to.
“No
matter what happens, this friendship will be the one constant we can count on.”
When Billy and Owen made that promise, they knew exactly how
dangerous the world could be. They survived prison by protecting each other and
they survived freedom by holding that promise sacred. Now they want more than
just to survive and they want it from the brothers whose bond is as strong as
their own.
“We are
stronger together than we’ll ever be apart.”
When Owen reaches his breaking point, Chris jumps at the
chance to make things right for all of them. With the future in their grasp,
will they realize their strength is in their numbers and finally become the
family they crave?

Excerpt:
That silence hid a lot from
their friends, but Liam knew Chris was plagued with memories far worse than
his. That’s why they decided not to celebrate alone this year. Billy and Owen
were expected any minute and it was the first time they invited anyone to join
them. The anniversary was bittersweet for them and they chose to celebrate it
because becoming brothers meant that much to them. “Do you think they’ll find
it stupid?”
Chris just shrugged as if it
was no skin off his back what they thought and Liam knew that was just bravado.
Fact was, they both very much cared what the two men thought. “Liar.”
His brother sighed and dropped
his head back. As if shit wasn’t fucked up enough, they fell for two bastards
just as fucked up as they were. “I know you’re worried about Owen. The business
with Colin is growing out of their control and I’m not sure why he thinks it’s
a good thing. Is he trying to prove something? And the middle of the night
phone calls from the FTR? He’s looking more and more fragile every day.”
Liam knew he wasn’t stating
anything new. What he didn’t know was what Chris intended to do about it.
Lately, when it came to Owen, Chris conveyed zero intent and seemed to be
waiting for Owen to read him as effortlessly as Liam did. Their brother bond
had been forged through blood and he was afraid Chris’s expectations of Owen
were unreasonable. “Do you see his face every time he thinks he’s failed to
understand you? The weight of it is crushing.”
Instead of regret, all Liam saw
was anger in Chris. It wasn’t a common emotion for Chris and Liam could name
every time he saw it. The fact that Chris knew what he was capable of if
provoked had made him extremely conscious of that emotion and he often went to
great lengths to contain it.
Owen was the very definition of
insecure. Just the type to inspire Chris’s protective instincts, which Liam
knew for a fact Owen did. Hell, he inspired Liam’s protective instincts. Owen
was stubborn though and he often distanced himself, keeping things bottled up
until they manifested elsewhere. Like in panic attacks that felt like heart
attacks, which he also tried to hide. Liam nearly lost it when they found out
that Billy was keeping Owen’s secret.
Chris nodded slowly, as if he
completely followed Liam’s train of thought and waited for him to connect the
dots. And just like that, Liam understood. “You’re pissed because he doesn’t
come to you when the panic sets in. That he hides it from you and they hide it
from us.”
It made total sense, but he had
to wonder if they were expecting too much. After all, they couldn’t call what
was going on with either man a relationship. No, they were four fucked up
bastards trying to come together in some romantic—what? Not a foursome, eww…he loved Chris, but yeah, that just
wasn’t happening. And Owen wasn’t his type any more than Billy was Chris’s
type. But—always with the fucking buts,
right?—what was happening was very definitely happening to the four of
them, and Liam now had to wonder if that was the problem, because trying to
come together was definitely not the same as being together.
Chris shook his head and
shifted in his seat. No, he was right. It wasn’t just their brother bond that
made it impossible to move forward as two separate couples. Billy and Owen had
formed their own unique friendship in prison and were no more likely to move
forward without the other one either. “Just once, couldn’t we have done
something the easy way?”
The fire door banged open and
Liam turned to see Billy and Owen, arms full of brightly wrapped packages,
struggling to pull a huge cluster of balloons through the door. It was a
shocking contrast to their dark thoughts and so uncharacteristically sweet of
both men. Billy caught their surprised stare and yelled, “Is this where the
party’s at?”
“It is now.” It might seem
silly, but it was exactly what they needed and exactly who they needed it from.
Maybe they hadn’t been expecting too much at all. Liam rose to give them a hand
and glanced down to see the look of longing in Chris’s eyes and thought maybe
it was time they all expected more.

Meet the author:
Like many
readers, the dream of being a writer has been with me a long time. After three
decades of trying, I'd begun to doubt. Thanks to social media, I followed my
favorite authors hoping to glean some words of wisdom as I pounded out
half-formed ideas with alarming regularity. Two repetitive themes emerged: to
be a great writer you must read a lot and your butt must be in the chair every
day like it's a job. The more you write, the easier it will be to write and the
better you will be at writing. I took that advice to heart and write every day.
With six published books to date, three series in the works and a full schedule
of releases planned for the next two years, it's been amazing to have made this
dream my reality.
I am a firm believer in marriage equality, love at first
sight, power dynamics and happily ever after. I'm a lover of strong secondary
characters and series filled with families, biological or chosen. All are
themes you'll find throughout my books.
