Thank you so much for patiently waiting while I finished up the The Warlock's She-Wolf! The next book in this series is now available on Good Novel and it is called "How To Be Patient - Feisty Series (4 of 5). Follow along in the story as Lukas tries to figure out his messy personal life and fend off his attraction to a woman he absolutely should stay away from!
Book five will be out sometime in October (How To Forgive) and it will follow Slade's story.
Thank you as always for reading and please leave me a review with what you think!

~Corey’s Point of View~“Aww man fuck this, what a waste of a nice, sunny day,” I scoffed as I looked outside. I could be on the beach, chasing some tail, getting an eyeful of something yummy. The things I do for my band. Hard sacrifices, I swear.“At least you got to stay in LA for auditions, Lukas got sent to fucking Texas. Trey is in Atlanta,” Simone said, making hand gestures.I nodded in agreement, thank god for silver linings. At least I’d be in my own bed tonight.Being the bass player in a successful hard rock band usually means I spend my days off catching up on sleep, being hungover … above all else I’m usually getting laid.But not today, oh no. Today I’ve been sitting in this damn chair for almost eight hours listening to people audition to temporarily take our lead singer and guitarist’s place for a few months while his lady has their baby. We weren’t on tour right now but there was a festival circuit we always played and a few other things. There were some award shows
~Pearl’s Point of View~~Thirty-Three Days Ago~“I’m flying to LA to get married then we’re moving into a little place we got,” I bragged, a stupid grin plastered to my face.“Yeah you might have mentioned that once or twice,” the guy next to me said.“Oh, sorry. Just excited, kind of been planning it for a long time. That’s me! I’m a planner,” I said, stretching out the little I could since the row was crowded and tight. I was only 5’2 but I still liked my space.Of course I would get a middle seat between two guys that looked like freakin’ lumberjacks. But it doesn’t matter! In a few hours I’m going to try on my wedding dress for the first time, she better have it right since I gave her EXACT measurements, and I’ll be touring the venue and settling into our apartment.I mindlessly hummed “California Love” to myself. I was pretty disappointed that Devin, my fiance, couldn't make it on the flight with me. He was wrapping things up with his job before he transferred to LA. “My boyfrie
~Present Day~~Corey’s Point of View~I had Slade’s biker friends working to help locate Pearl. A girl like that gets noticed by any straight male, hell even the gay ones would appreciate her beauty and do a double take. Maybe I was just too stuck on seeing her topless. We tried the phone number on her application several times and left voicemails. My little volcanic eruption, in more ways than one.I played the video of her little performance to the entire band and they were all just as dumbstruck as me. Lukas was practically salivating but I made it clear I’d seen her first. In reality they’d probably be better suited for each other but there’s no way in hell I’d say that out loud. Slade however laid down the law and said if we were serious about recruiting her nobody was licking her. If you licked something, food or a female it was yours. Them’s the rules.“She made it look so fucking easy, I’m jealous,” Jude said, rewinding the video.I nodded, that was very true. There was so m
~Pearl’s Point of View~ Fuck I have no time, I knew they’d run late. I gotta find a better place than this shithole. In time Pearl, in time. I tossed one of my guitar cases over my shoulder and yanked the handle of the other. The crowd was way too drunk and getting out of hand. I looked at my phone quickly, shit! Gonna be late! Daphne will kill me. My eyes panicked, looking out through my ridiculous glasses at the crowd. There wasn’t an easy way outta here and my only solace was that I demanded to get paid up front. The owner is a sleeze who always tries to take me home and talks my ear off. I just had to make it to the door and hope like hell my ride is out there. “Excuse me,” I shouted, but it wasn’t like anyone could hear me. The music was cranked, people were just being sloppy. I just started shoving at the sweaty bodies but when you’re short nobody gives a damn what you do. Really I’d probably just get tossed around like a ping-pong ball until eventually I hit a wall. That
~Corey’s Point of View~ I bribed the manager on duty two grand to move some people around and secure a long table down in front. All my brothers showed up, even Jude and Trey’s wives. We also had three bikers against the back wall, not looking thrilled. They’re not paid to have an opinion, and they’re paid damn well. We had no clue what we were really doing here or what to expect. I just needed to see my fiery redhead. I had to know what she was up to. Was she singing? Playing? The house band went through a couple numbers, you could tell something big was in the air, it was practically electric.Finally a guy in a suit came out on stage and began mumbling in some accent, it wasn’t good. “I give you the international sensation, fraulein Sally Bowles,” he shouted. Who the hell is that? Suddenly the house band dropped and Juliet, Jude’s very pregnant wife jumped up out of her chair next to me and began to cheer and dance. It distracted me for a second. Then the voice hit … and it w
~Pearl’s Point of View~ “What the hell did you say to him,” I snapped, as I latched onto Daphne’s arm. I had just finished the closing number and I was fucking beat. I needed a hot tub and a steak but I’d be settling for a shower and a bag of chips probably. “Depends, what happened,” I heard, clearly amused. “Do you have my glasses,” I asked, out of breath and too tired to get into it. “Of course blind beauty,” she said, as they were placed on my face. I wanted to punch her but only sort of. Corey was pretty fucking talented with his tongue, and damn I needed it. But he was in Feisty for fuck’s safe what if he had STD’s?? “I think you got the best one but that Jude is devilishly handsome. Well, like I’d refuse any of them,” she said, licking her lips. My face fell and I ran to the side of the stage and peeked out. My jaw fell as I realized the entirety of Feisty was front and center at my show. The ENTIRE band. The WHOLE BAND. ALL OF THEM. “They were all there the … en
~Corey’s Point of View~ Pearl was turning me into a damn stalker, and I hated to admit I liked it. Slade had cameras in all the common areas of the house, he owned a security company, how could he not? I sat in his office watching the one over his deck, where he and Pearl had been laughing and carrying on for way too long. The entire band was coming to meet her for lunch and if she was nervous she didn’t show it. Any normal woman, about to meet all of Feisty would be losing her shit. Yeah I’m cocky but facts are facts. Even the first time Jude’s wife met all of us she totally fangirled out. If Trey's wife freaked out over us she wasn't as obvious about it. But I loved that Juliet spoke her mind it just made her cuter somehow. I saw Lukas and Jude heading in and I made a face. Not that I didn’t want to get up close and personal with my siren, but I also didn’t want to share her. Slade wasn't eyeing her like she was a steak. Lukas would definetly be staring. Would she be nervous?
~Pearl’s Point of View~ They had to practically pry me off Slade. I wouldn't let him go. How could I ever possibly thank him enough? Repay him for this kindness? I couldn’t. When the guys broke to hit the studio he said, “if you really want to thank me, seriously consider moving in. That part of town you’re in isn’t safe. Come here for a bit until you decide on your next move.” Looking around it wasn’t exactly too hard to agree. I told him I would give him an answer by the end of the day. Of course it was gonna be yes but I couldn’t just go there immediately. What else could I do for him though? I made a note to pay extra attention to anything he liked or might want. But what the hell do you get a guy like him? A blowjob? He could get one of those too any time he wanted and since I was desperate to see where this could go for a job that was hardly an option. Not to mention Corey might stab him. Well, I certainly knew Slade was anxious to hear me play with the guys. So was I. It wa
