A Ryan New Year
New York Ruthless #11
A Ryan New Year (2022)
A Ryan New Year is a short companion novella set in Sadie Kincaid’s New York Ruthless world, with a festive setup that quickly turns charged and unstable. It takes place on New Year’s Eve, with Jessie and the Ryan brothers planning a night out at the Peacock Club, but the evening is thrown off balance when someone from the brothers’ past appears and an offhand comment from Jessie about their future lands badly. Rather than building around a major external conflict, the story uses that disruption to create tension inside an already established relationship dynamic.
Readers can expect a brief adult romance with a contemporary mafia backdrop, but the emphasis here is on chemistry, familiarity, and emotional friction rather than suspense or world-building. The holiday setting gives it a celebratory mood, though the premise suggests that the real pull comes from seeing familiar characters pushed into a more personal and volatile moment. It works best as bonus material for readers already invested in Jessie and the Ryans, not as a starting point.
