Birdie Whiskey has spent years watching love find everyone else. She has a successful chocolate business, an incredible family, and a full life. All that’s missing is someone to share it with. When she gets swept up in a single, unforgettable night with a mysterious stranger, she believes it’s finally her turn. But the man who knocks her off her feet is the last man her family would ever accept.

Trying Not to Love You
Moran Sisters #1
Kaylee Ryan
Release date: July 14, 2026
Blurb
NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series set in a small town, surrounding four sisters. Trying Not to Love You is a small-town, second-chance, first-love, ex-military romance.
Ellison
Copeland James was my first love, my first heartbreak, my first everything.
Then he left without explanation, and never came back.
My sisters and our closest friends helped me pick up the pieces, but my heart hasn’t been whole since the day he walked out of Magnolia Ridge.
I’ve learned to live with what could have been… until his mother’s illness brings him back to our small town. He’s older, harder, and more magnetic than I remember.
He’s a man now. The man I learned to live without. And yet, he’s back, stirring everything I thought I’d buried, making my world feel unsteady.
Because loving him nearly destroyed me… and now, I’m still trying not to love him.
Copeland
I left Magnolia Ridge with nothing but a duffel bag and a decision.
I told myself joining the Marines was the right choice. That loving her meant protecting her, and this was the way to do it.
I was wrong.
Now I’m back, years later, and she’s just as breathtaking as the day I left. All these years, I imagined she’d have moved on, married someone else, but she’s still single, and in my heart, she’s still mine.
But Ellison doesn’t see me the way I see her, not anymore. All I find in her eyes is the wound I left behind. The one that never healed.
I didn’t fight for us back then, but I’ve learned. Now I’m ready for battle, fighting for what we could be while she tries not to love me.

My father orders me to seduce a man most people are too afraid to even look at.
Georgi Torrisi.
Head of the Torrisi family and a Cosa Nostra Capo.
A brutal and powerful man who rules his world with violence and absolute control.
And I’m supposed to make him want me.
Turns out my father thinks he can use Georgi to get to Atanas Petkov, our family’s sworn enemy. If Atanas continues to grow in power with Georgi’s help, it will mean the end of my father’s reign of terror, and I’m the bait meant to make one of the most dangerous men in New York lower his guard.
Do I have a choice?
No.
Hours later, Georgi Torrisi is chained in my father’s basement while the man I helped betray is beaten and tortured.
My already messed-up life takes a turn for the worse because I didn’t expect the guilt.
I didn’t expect the way his eyes still burn when he looks at me.
And I definitely didn’t expect myself to unlock the chains and set him free.
The moment Georgi walks out of that basement, he turns into a violent monster that’s out for revenge. Once the hallways of my family home are painted red, he takes my daughter and me with him.
There’s no running.
No hiding.
And now all I can do is pray I survive being at the mercy of the man I betrayed.

The wait is finally over—Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Hope Mazzola returns to the ice with a brand-new hockey romance series: Shots on Goal—MN Frosthawks.
Alois Müller is professional hockey’s favorite villain.
The Minnesota Frosthawks’ veteran enforcer is known for brutal hits, wicked honesty, and a glare that’s started more headlines than the league will ever admit.
So when a viral scandal threatens the team’s reputation, management gives him one last chance to clean up his image… or hang up his jersey forever.
Enter Beatriz “Bea” Ribeiro.
Brilliant. Unflappable. And the youngest PR strategist the organization has ever hired.
Her first assignment?
Rehabilitate the league’s most notorious troublemaker before he destroys the Frosthawks’ season.
Simple.
Except Alois Müller refuses to be handled.
Managing him means babysitting a six-foot-four walking PR disaster with ice-blue eyes, a temper the league loves to hate… and a talent for getting under Bea’s skin like no one else.
Unfortunately for both of them, the solution to his scandal is worse than the problem.
A fake relationship.
Suddenly Bea is stuck beside the one man who seems determined to drive her insane.
Press conferences.
Charity galas.
Team flights.
And one very convincing series of staged dates.
The rules are simple:
Don’t fight in public.
Don’t break the script.
And absolutely do not start believing the chemistry.
But the more time they spend pretending to be in love, the harder it becomes to ignore the sparks neither of them wants to admit are real.
Because beneath Alois’s reputation is a fiercely loyal teammate, a devastating flirt, and a man who looks at Bea like she’s the only person in the room.
Meanwhile Bea is trying to keep her career on track, keep the team’s image intact, and stop her extremely judgmental Selkirk Rex cat from declaring war on the six-foot-four hockey enforcer suddenly invading their lives.
Now the entire league is watching.
Their chemistry is trending.
And the biggest lie they’ve ever told might be turning into the one thing neither of them can walk away from.
Public Enemy #91 was supposed to be a media strategy.
Instead, it might be the most dangerous play of their lives.
