The Heart of Kincaid Brothers
The Kincaid Brothers series spans eight books, each focusing on a different brother’s journey to love. Stay Over kicks things off with Brooks Kincaid, an ER nurse who offers to 'help' his cousin’s best friend, Palmer, after overhearing her romantic woes. Their friends-with-benefits deal sparks mega chemistry and sets the tone for the series’ steamy yet sweet vibe. Stay Forever follows Declan, a single dad whose adorable daughter, Blakely, steals the show as he woos romance editor Kennedy. Stay Tonight dives into a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers tale between welder Sterling and his lifelong best friend, Alyssa. Finally, Stay Together introduces Rushton, who patiently pursues kindergarten teacher Crosby, a foster care alum hesitant to trust.
Set in the cozy, gossip-filled town of Willow River, the series weaves themes of family loyalty, second chances, and personal growth. Ryan’s heroines are strong and independent, balancing the brothers’ protective, alpha-male energy. From pool parties to annual camping trips, the Kincaids’ tight-knit dynamic shines, making readers feel like part of the family. The small-town setting, with its quirky locals and heartfelt moments, adds a layer of charm that keeps fans coming back for more.
