I’m not the spoiled rich girl I used to be. And if my new business succeeds, I’ll finally be able to prove it.

Too bad my first job is planning a wedding…in my sworn enemy’s barn.

There was a time when I cared about Luke Durham with my whole heart. But that died when he assumed the worst of me.

Now, we’re stuck working together. Failure? Not an option.

But everything would be so much easier if I could forget how good it felt to be loved by Luke instead of hated...

But for Magnolia James, I might make an exception.

I lost so much because of her. Even my heart. Forgiveness? Not possible. 

So, I’ll work with her. But I will keep my mind—and my hands—off her.

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Nashville Rampage football team. Follow the Play is a single dad, nanny, friends to lovers, forced proximity sports romance.


Baker


Being a single dad was never part of the playbook, but one look at my son and everything changed. 


Now football and fatherhood are my whole world—a world that gets turned upside down when my nanny quits two weeks before training camp. 


Sloane Peterson runs interference by stepping in to help. 


She's sweet, dependable, and the one woman I shouldn't want. Not when our lives are so entwined.


But every time she smiles at my son—or me—it gets harder to remember that our little arrangement is only temporary. 




Sloane 


Taking a short-term nanny gig for Nashville Rampage’s most eligible DILF has disaster written all over it. 


But when Daddy Sin is in a bind, I do just that. It keeps me from waiting tables, and his son is the cutest little boy on the planet. 


Baker Sinclair is famous, has a body like a Greek god, and when he’s in daddy mode… he’s irresistible. He’s also currently my new boss, and completely forbidden. 


The longer I'm in his home, the less this feels like a job. 


Because between reading bedtime stories and baking cookies, I can't imagine my life without them... either of them. Too bad love doesn't follow lesson plans... or playbooks.

BLURB:

When my sick father wanders into the off-limits palace where the widowed king of Messalina lives with his three children, I know we're in trouble.

Locked away since the tragic death of his wife, the whispers of an ancient royal curse are more alive than ever.

And when my father is taken prisoner and I accidentally break a priceless statue, I learn first hand that the rumors of the callous beast king with his gorgeous face and frosty disposition are true.

Especially when he gives me an ultimatum: become the nanny for his children or my father goes to prison.

It isn't until I move into the palace that I see there's life in the walls, passion lurking beneath smoldering glances and forbidden moments, and endless love for three beautiful children—the king's one soft spot.

The longer I stay, the more in love I fall with the children and the man who does all he can to keep his distance. Until one night he shatters my innocence and shows me exactly what it means to be owned by the king.

But this is no fairy tale, and no matter how we feel, we can never be together.

On top of that, there's a darkness we can't escape. A danger lurking, waiting to kill again.

And when it comes for us, there will be no stopping it until it succeeds.

TROPE REVEAL

JUST DON'T CALL IT LOVE BY ERIN NICHOLAS


Why you will love this book:

🔥Small Town (down the road from Autre!)

🔥Hockey Romance (Erin Nicholas version...)

🔥Fake Dating

🔥Grumpy Sunshine

🔥Rom Com 

🔥Found Family (Ellie's brother's family to be exact!)

🔥Whole town hates him! (for now ;) )

🔥Parks & Rec meets Bonkers Hockey!

🔥Everyone is OTTER obsessed! 


BLURB


Welcome to Rebel, Louisiana—where the humidity feels personal, even the otters hold grudges, and chaos is a competitive sport.



I used to play hockey in sold-out arenas. Now my wrecked knee and I are stuck in a little bayou town that’s been mad at me for a year. I need a big comeback–and ZERO drama.


So first thing, I get tackled at the airport by a sunshiny woman in yellow overalls who’s thwarting my kidnapping… by her grandpas.


That’s Nora Delaune—Parks & Rec director, caffeine-powered menace, and the only person in Rebel willing to give me a chance. She needs me to win games and help save the town’s ice arena before it gets turned into a laser-tag nightmare.


And I… kind of like being needed by her. Even when she’s producing a singing, dancing, wig-wearing ice extravaganza that is definitely not hockey.


Then my sister—the team’s new owner—drops the bomb: if Nora and I “date,” the town might stop hating me.


Fine. We’ll fake it. As long as we don’t call it love.


But between late-night practices, the sugar-addicted swamp-werewolf mascot, otter drama, and the way Nora looks at me like I’m worth rooting for…I’m in trouble.


I came to Rebel to rebuild my career.

I didn’t expect to lose my heart doing it.


Coming January 23rd!
