ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 13, 2024
My entire world has been turned upside down.
With one adjustment after another.
The truth of my father’s betrayal cuts deep.
Now, my little sister, Clover, is struggling to deal with day-to-day life.
I’ve given everything for her. I joined Defiance to keep her safe. And now, being reunited with our older sister who we thought was gone, I don’t have to go it alone. But it’s not enough. Clover’s grades are declining, and I refuse to let her fail.
Enter Sadie, the feisty blonde tutor. A woman who takes my breath away, despite hurling accusations that the club is Clover’s issue.
She might be small in stature, but what she lacks in size, she makes up for in sassiness. Sadie doesn’t hold back, letting me know her thoughts on the club, and me. But what is clear mutual loathing needs to be set aside, because Sadie is the only one who can help Clover thrive.
Sadie aggravates me, yet something pulls me toward her. She’s a beacon, but beneath the light shines secrets. There’s a poison running through her hidden past. I just have to hope the venom doesn’t paralyze me before it’s too late.

REVIEW:MALICIOUS is the second instalment in KE Osborn’s contemporary adult LA DEFIANCE MC erotic, MC romance series -a spin off from the author’s NOLA Defiance MC/ set in the author’s world of Defiance MC. This is Jesse ‘Maverick’ Cadell, and baker/tutor Sadie Evan/ Connor’s story line. MALICIOUS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order for cohesion.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Sadie and Maverick) MALICIOUS follows the acrimonious relationship between our story line couple. Maverick joined LA Defiance in the wake of his father’s betrayal, and protecting his sister Clover is precipitated Maverick’s move to LA but Clover’s health and her association with the MC are affecting her grades, so the club hires tutor Sadie Connor. From the outset, Maverick struggles with Sadie’s appearance in their lives, her attitude towards the club, and his attraction to the woman who would steal his heart but Sadie has a secret that is about to threaten the live of everyone Maverick loves. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Maverick and Sadie, and the potential fall-out as the past returns to claim our story line heroine placing a target on the back of the LA Defiance MC.
The world building follows several paths including the personal lives of several members of the LA Defiance MC. From Clover’s struggle in school, to Ingrid’s pregnancy, and the potential war with the Rojas Cartel, and the Steel Serpents MC.
The relationship between Maverick and Sadie is acrimonious at best. Sadie doesn’t respect the MC and her reasons are currently not known but Maverick’s dislike of Sadie is in complete contradiction to his attraction to the woman with whom he will fall in love. The love scenes are intimate and provocative.
The secondary and supporting characters include LA Defiance MC president and former Special Forces soldier Alpha, and twenty-five year old Haven aka Blue Jay; Livvy, Rhyann, Poppy, Navy, Loki, Dutch, South and Ingrid (NOLA Defiance MC) as well as Sadie’s ex Grave, and her brother Wes. The requisite evil has many faces.
MALICIOUS is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, destruction and chaos, acceptance and love. The premise is impassioned and captivating; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are energetic , determined and charismatic.
