Ryder
Two years of silence and no goodbye—she slipped away and through my fingers, leaving me with nothing but questions… and a heavy heart from missing her.
I know what we had was real, that our love was once in a lifetime.
Now she’s back from her Parisian fashion internship, and I’m ready for answers, desperate to understand why she couldn’t just stay.
Jordyn
When I walked away, it was to protect him. Yet, all he knows, all he cares about, is that I left. Coming home is a bittersweet journey, each step heavier than the last.
While I’m no longer half a world away, the obstacles in front of us make it feel like we’ve never been farther apart.
I want to give him the answers he so desperately craves, and this time, I’ll get to say goodbye. However, what I didn’t plan on was Ryder’s fight. He’s not going to let me go so easily this time.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
Stay Present is a standalone, but for a greater appreciation of the Kincaid family, I highly recommend reading the other books in this series. Especially since Jordyn and Ryder’s split occurred several books ago. I have been waiting to get their story!
Ryder and Jordyn are soulmates. Even after a two-year separation, their love for one another never wavered. Parts of the story worked for me better than others; I mainly thought the reason why Jordyn ghosted Ryder was a bit far-fetched. My heart broke for her and what she’d been through at the hands of her parents and the gilded cage she was living in, but I was hoping there was something bigger at play that kept Ryder and Jordyn apart for two years.
But once she explained herself and Ryder forgave her, they were all in with their relationship. While they still had some obstacles in their path and dragons to slay (her parents), they had the entire Kincaid family rallying behind them to help them out. The plot twist that ultimately led to Jordyn’s freedom wasn’t what I was expecting and a bit shocking; I was actually looking forward to seeing how Plan B would have played out.
Overall, Stay Present was a sweet and spicy addition to the Kincaid Brothers series. I enjoyed spending more time with this big, loving bunch!
