Jennifer Ryan spins off from her Wyoming Wilde series with WILDE LOVE the first in the Dark Horse Dive Barseries. Readers saw glimpses of these Wilde cousins in earlier books by Jennifer Ryan: Chase and Shelby in CHASE WILDE COMES HOME, Hunt and Cyn in SURRENDERING TO HUNT, and Max and Kenna in MAX WILDE'S COWBOY HEART.
Songwriter and cook at the Dark Horse Dive Bar, Lyric Wilde has been attracted to motorcycle club member Viper for months when he stepped up to help her Wilde cousins. She sees something special behind the rough facade. Unknown to her Viper is actually undercover FBI agent Mason Gunn trying to determine who in the motorcycle club is behind murder-for-hire activities. Complicating this forbidden relationship is a songwriter who is obsessed with Lyric and sends her threatening text messages. Viper has to figure out a way to balance his work responsibilities while also protecting his love.
WILDE LOVE can be read as a standalone book and a start to a new series, but because the characters carry over, readers might get more from the story having read the Wyoming Wilde series first. Still, WILDE LOVE is a sweet read with somewhat basic characters.
In this first of New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Ryan’s new series, The Dark Horse Dive Bar, sassy singer-songwriter Lyric Wilde matches wits with FBI Special Agent Mason Gunn. And when her obsessed fan and Mason’s most wanted criminal targets her, he’s the only man capable of protecting her.
Welcome to the Dark Horse Dive Bar, where the Wildes throw one hell of a party and love could be a barstool away!
When Lyric Wilde’s not whipping up the best food in town at the Dark Horse Dive Bar, she’s making a name for herself as a rising singer-songwriter.

But there’s one fan she wants to get to know better—a silent, sexy biker named Viper. A man who makes her think mine every time she looks at him. But who exactly is “Viper?”
Undercover FBI special agent Mason Gunn has been hiding in plain sight and alone for far too long. And while he fantasizes about a peaceful life with beautiful Lyric by his side, he knows that until his mission—to take down a murder-for-hire network—is accomplished, his dark world is no place for her. But when frightening encounters and threatening text messages from a stalker bent on keeping Lyric all to himself and his most wanted criminal target his sultry songbird, he will stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves…
