The Kline family has taken over Fairport¿ Devon knows himself too well, how he¿ll be up in their business, taking on their problems, and no one can have that catastrophe happen. Scheming, Devon manages to convince Rory and Beth to take another honeymoon to Las Vegas for the weekend, using it as an excuse for Essie and Devon to finally have a honeymoon of their own too¿ all smoke and mirrors to get the four of them out of Fairport during Auggie¿s intervention. But Devon has met his match in the manipulating schemes department¿ since the playground, Bethany and Devon have always butted heads over who got to boss Essie around. Now that Rory has rejoined their group, Beth is determined to come to an agreement with Devon, one which will blow his mind. Stuck on a six-hour flight, there is no escaping Beth for Devon. By the time the wheels touch down on the runway, Devon¿s views on life, love, and their futures have dramatically changed. Are Devon, Beth, Rory, and Essie willing to wager a lifetime of contentment to chase the chance for an unexpectedly thrilling happily ever after?

Woven is a story about friendship. A bromance. Rory Essex never made friends his own age. When he moved across the street from Bethany Oman, he was the older kid playing with the baby. Rory befriended Beth's besties- Devon and Essie. But as they got older, puberty struck, and the age-gap got wider. Rory found new friends, older friends. Inappropriate friends who impacted his entire life- Isis, Auggie, and Robin. Little Bethany Oman finally grew up, and the age-gap shrunk down to nothing. Now she's Bethany Essex, and she wants her husband to reconnect with her soon-to-be married besties. Bethany and Essie are as thick as thieves, so they set their husbands up on a blind-bromance-date. Rory doesn't realize he's dating Devon- he just finds the guy intoxicating. Hours out of rehab, struggling with bipolar disorder, and a smothering family, Devon wants two things out of life: to feel safe and to feel alive by having fun. But Devon's version of fun has to be at an extreme. Cops and fast cars, action movies, and manipulative friends are the makings of a livewire, lust-fueled bromance to last the next seventy years...

Bethany Oman: Another six months and my thesis will be finished, and then I can stop this suffocating charade. My dream is to become a therapist specializing in sexual dysfunction. What better way to write my thesis than in a Playroom filled with sexual deviants? Only problem, I had to become a deviant in order to gain entrance to the Playroom... and then I had to explain my motivations to Augustus Kline, who offered me protection for a very steep toll. My other dream is standing before me, smirking with anticipation. My original, lifelong-dream, who could easily destroy any hope of my becoming a therapist if I'm not careful. And Rory Essex makes me feel anything but careful. Willing to do anything it takes to gain the woman he loves, Rory makes a deal with Beth, which forces him to bargain with the Devil Himself. Accepting Augustus Kline's toll into the Playroom, Rory gains the key to making Bethany his Wildly Wedded Wife.
