Title: Chasing Lyric
Author: K E Osborn
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Second Chance, Secret Identity/Hidden Past
Opposites Attract, Protective Hero
Release Date: November 24, 2025


BLURB

I don’t do privileged pretty boys.
Especially ones who waltz into my flower shop flashing Hallmark smiles like they own the place.

Chase Malone is everything I should run from—smooth, confident, too damn sure he can play me like his favorite melody.
But then fate, a runaway goat, and tracks of eighties rock on repeat push us into a rhythm neither of us asked for. And somewhere between the laughter and silence, I hear the truth in the spaces he tries to hide.

I thought we were in tune.

Instead, after months of his beautiful symphony, I uncovered his perfect illusion—Chase Malone, the greatest lie I ever let myself fall for.

Now I’m caught in his song, with his desperate attempts to be that perfect Hallmark hero and win me back. But I just don’t know if this love story ends in harmony… or heartbreak.

Chasing Lyric is an angsty, opposites-attract romance where big cities collide with even bigger secrets. It’s got banter, betrayal, a runaway goat that steals the spotlight, and a playlist of eighties rock that turns every page into a heartbeat. Fierce independence meets Hallmark-hero charm in a battle of love, lies, and second chances. And when the final note fades, you’ll believe in happily ever afters all over again.

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Nashville Rampage football team. Learn the Play is a coach’s daughter, forbidden, one-night stand, surprise-pregnancy romance.

Bellamy

I watched my parents’ marriage crumble when my father chose football over family. His love for the game destroyed us. It’s why I loathe it. It’s also why I don’t trust easily.

So when I meet a handsome stranger at a hotel bar, we trade nothing but first names. I’m miles from home and I’ll never see him again.

Until I do. At a family event with my dad, he’s there—my mystery man from weeks ago. Only now, I know who he is: a football player on my father’s team. Which means I need to forget him… and his tight end.

Reid

The night I meet the dark-haired beauty at the bar, everything changes. We talk, laugh, and our connection is unlike anything I’ve ever felt. The next morning, she’s gone, leaving me with only her name.

I think I’ve lost her, until she walks into my stadium, standing right beside my coach. Fate hands me a second chance, and I’m not letting it slip.

To her, I’m just another football player. But I’ll prove to her that I’m not her father… I’m my own man. And my dream girl, she was meant to be mine.

Title: Wistful Whispers
Series: Charming Irish #3
Author: Kaylene Winter
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Reverse Age Gap/Enemies to Lovers
Forced Proximity/Plus Size Heroine/Secret Relationship
Release Date: June 9, 2025


BLURB

Wistful Whispers is an irresistible battle of the wills where surrendering to forbidden temptation could cost them everything.

I never promised forever.
A good time? Absolutely.
Heartbreak? Only if they got too attached.

My reputation as a quiet playboy precedes me—women talk, and my ‘talents’ follow me wherever I go. But I’ve always been upfront. No commitments. No expectations. No complications.

Marcella Delgado is nothing but complications. Brilliant. Fierce. Eight years older. And the attorney trying to take down my boss in a malpractice case. She should hate me on sight—hell, she does. But that doesn’t stop the heat between us from igniting the moment we meet.

She’s heard the stories about me firsthand, right there in the depositions. She knows exactly what I’m good at, and even though she fights it, I can see the temptation in her eyes.

One night. One line crossed.
Now my future’s unraveling—and she might be the only thing I don’t want to let go.

For the first time, I want it all.

And I’ll fight like hell to be the man she can’t leave behind.

Title: What About Now?
Series: Everlasting Ink #4
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Small Town/Age Gap/Tattoo Artist
Found Family/Drunken Vegas Wedding
Release Date: February 11, 2025


BLURB

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio. “What About Now?” is an age gap, found family, drunken Vegas wedding, small town romance.

Brogan

I didn’t plan on hooking up with my new brother-in-law’s best friend… or marrying him.

Life hasn’t been easy, and it’s left me a little bruised, and a lot cautious. So, when I wake up in Vegas married to Maddox, I’m convinced it’s a mistake. A drunken accident that we should undo before anyone finds out.

But he doesn’t see it that way. He asks for six months. Six months to show me we could be something real. And I don’t know why I say yes, except maybe a part of me wants to believe him.

I’m not sure I deserve someone like him. But with every look, every touch, and every little gesture, Maddox is breaking down my walls.

That’s why the next time he asks “what about now?” I know I’m going to say yes.

Maddox

I always thought Brogan was off-limits. Our paths didn’t just cross, they tangled.

If things didn’t work out between us, it would hurt a lot of people. So I stayed in my lane, convincing myself it was for the best.

Until Vegas.

One too many drinks, a blurred wedding chapel, and a couple of shiny rings later, Brogan wakes up next to me… as my wife.

She’s ready to call it a mistake and move on, but I see it for what it is: fate handing me the chance I’ve been too scared to take.

So I make her a deal. Six months. I’ll prove we belong together, and if she still doesn’t believe it, we’ll walk away. No hard feelings.

But I’m not going down without a fight. Flowers, her favorite coffee—I’ll give her everything she never knew she wanted, including me.

And one of these times when I ask if she believes it yet that were meant to be, I just might get the answer I’m hoping for.

Because I’ve waited long enough to make her mine, and this time, I’m not letting her go.

They fall in love with each other over wings and beer. But before he can get her number, she leaves and takes his heart with her.

As luck would have it, he runs into her a few days later. She’s still as beautiful as ever, with a sizable bruise on her face and defeat haunting her eyes.

He tries to break through her walls, but she’s adamant that she can make it on her own.

Until, that is, her abusive father threatens her baby girl. Then she has no other choice but to run into a blizzard on Christmas Eve to escape him. And she knows just where to go.

To him. Jeremiah Dixon—the man that her heart and soul know is the one meant to fix all the broken things inside of her.
