Coming Home (Kaylee Ryan) Books in Order

Coming Home is a shared theme series, and Kaylee Ryan's contribution, Misconception, fits it well because the whole story turns on return, unfinished feelings, and the shock of finding that home is not waiting in the shape you expected.

Ryan uses the premise to build a small-town romance with a lot of emotional backlog. Hudson leaves, Riley stays, life changes, and when he comes back the relationship has to deal with love, resentment, and the damage done by time and silence.

That homecoming idea is what matters most here. The setting is not just a backdrop. It is the place where the past is still alive, where shared history cannot be avoided, and where every familiar face makes the present harder to keep at arm's length.

Because it is part of a multi-author setup, the series itself is more of a framework than a tightly interlocked universe. Ryan's book stands on its own, and that is really the point. You come for the emotional hook of people who might have gotten it wrong the first time.

If you like second-chance feelings, surprise-life-turns, and romances where coming back is only the beginning of the problem, Misconception is the book to start with here.
