BACKSTAGE

Fame hit like lightning. Then vanished just as fast.

Danger meant something—it was my name, the code I lived by.
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.

Recoil deserves another shot, and I deserve redemption.
So, when the spotlight calls—this time, I choose the music.
And maybe her.

She’s forbidden. I’m damaged. But together, we’re perfect.
Some stories start backstage, but ours will ignite center stage.

From USA Today Bestselling Author K E Osborn comes a rockstar romance where fame fades, but redemption demands an encore. Backstage follows a broody musician and the exotic dancer who reignites his fire when the spotlight dims. In a story of second chances, scars, and raw chemistry, one broken heart can still find its rhythm again.
Previously published as Pick.
This is book one of the Recoil Series.

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. Amplified is an enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine story about finding harmony in chaos, and discovering that sometimes, the most beautiful music is born from the storm because love hits harder than any beat.
Previously published as Plucker.
This is book two of the Recoil Series.

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.
This is book three of the Recoil Series.

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.
