One kiss ... and her lips forever lingered on mine as if tattooed there.

Melody Quinn, all through high school I loved her from afar. Of course, in a cruel twist of fate, she waited until right before I left for boot camp to confess she felt the same. In that tender moment, we shared a kiss that branded her name onto my heart. Despite intense training, deployments, and life-altering tragedies, never once did she leave my thoughts.

Now, years later, fate has led me home. I can’t help but wonder ... is a second chance possible? 

Reconnecting won’t be easy. My life has changed in ways she may never accept. But the spark that has always been between us explodes into an electrifying jolt every time she looks my way. The timing is horrible, but I have to risk it. She needs to know no matter how stormy these Bourbon Nights get, I’ll never walk away from her again.

From USA Today Best Selling Author, Shari J. Ryan, comes an emotionally gripping masterpiece of the pitfalls and joy to be found when friendship blooms into an epic love story.


Each book The Barrel House Series has each character’s personal story and can be read in any order! Bourbon Nights’ themes focus on single-fatherhood and a military life, as well as PTSD. Brett has kept a lot to himself, as many men and women in his situation, but when the layers peel away from the core, pieces come together to develop a full picture of why Brett is the way he is.

I hope you enjoy!

Bourbon Nights is available on Kindle Unlimited, eBook, Paperback, and Audio book!

A new Historical Fiction novel called The family Behind the Walls by Shari J Ryan
By Shari J. Ryan January 27, 2025
The Family Behind the Walls: Absolutely heartbreaking and gripping World War Two fiction- My great-grandfather was murdered in a gas chamber upon arrival at Auschwitz. He died from Zyklon B poisoning. His body was thrown into a pile with countless others and taken to the crematorium, where all that remained of him was reduced to ash. Why? Because he was Jewish. A question has haunted me as I grew up and tried to piece together my family’s history: What was it all for? This question became the driving force behind my writing of The Family Behind the Walls. I wondered if, by the end of the story, I might find an answer. And I did.
