A Ryan Rewind
New York Ruthless #7
A Ryan Rewind (2022)
A Ryan Rewind is a short companion story set after the main Jessie Ryan arc, and it focuses on a more intimate, character-driven setup than the longer New York Ruthless novels. The premise turns on Jessie telling Shane that she misses the man he used to be, which prompts him to bring that older version of himself back into their dynamic in a way that is meant to test, provoke, and remind her exactly who he is. Rather than building toward a large external conflict, the story stays close to the relationship itself and the charged shift that follows from that one remark.
Readers can expect a very brief adult romance with a contemporary mafia backdrop, but the emphasis here is on chemistry, familiarity, and an already established connection rather than suspense or world-building. It reads more like bonus material for readers who are already invested in Jessie and Shane than a standalone entry point, with the appeal coming from tension, attitude, and seeing an existing relationship pushed into a sharper, more personal space.
