A scorching second-chance romance between a talented screenwriter and a phenomenal musician from “a fantastic storyteller and superb writer.” ―NPR

Cover of the novel 'Score' by Kennedy Ryan featuring a woman in a bright green dress lounging on a piano, with colorful abstract background and prominent title text.

You never forget your first love. Isn’t that what they say? Verity Hill knows this truth intimately. She didn’t simply miss Wright “Monk” Bellamy when they parted ways in college. She’s haunted by his touch. Every kiss, any lover since—it’s a shadow of what they had. 

Time heals all wounds. Isn’t that what they say? Monk doesn’t believe that for a second. He wasn’t simply betrayed when he and Verity split. He was devastated, with parts of him left behind in the ruins of all that was destroyed. 

More than a decade after their disastrous breakup, Verity and Monk must work together on the set of an epic Harlem Renaissance biopic. With Monk, now a world-class musician, creating the score, and Verity, an award-winning screenwriter, penning the script, there’s Oscar buzz before shooting even begins. This once-in-a-lifetime project could catapult them both to new heights, but can they can put the past behind them for the sake of the film…for the sake of something more?

STILL THE ONE

Dylan Allen

Release Date: May 24

There are men who will love you.

There are men who will break your heart.

But for me, there was only one man and he was destined to be both.

I used to believe in fairytales.

I thought my happy ending was inevitable.

Until I lost my father, my home, and the gorgeous golden boy I loved in the blink of an eye.

I rebuilt my life with one thing in mind – certainty.

I didn’t get my happy ending, but I spent my days making other people’s come true.

I wasn’t happy, but I was in control.

It was enough.

Until my first love crash lands back into my life and

I start questioning everything about my perfectly constructed life.

I realize that I may have moved on but my heart stood absolutely still.

And when he asks for a second chance, I throw caution to the wind and say yes.

Back in the grown up arms of the man he’s become, I rediscover a passion and pleasure I’d forgotten existed.

But our second chance is a double edged sword that forces us to face the minefield of our complicated past.

He starts asking questions.

I’ve spent a lifetime trying to ignore.

In the battle between my future and my past, will love be enough to overcome the secrets that tore us apart the first time?

Meet Dylan Allen:

Before I was “Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author, Dylan Allen”, I was a lawyer who was unhappy at work and a bookworm who wanted nothing more than to get lost in stories I loved. I’ve always written for myself as a creative outlet, but in the year leading up to my 40th birthday, I decided to do something that had always been on my bucket list…write a book.

I’m not an independently wealthy person and had no intention of leaving my career. I didn’t think it was even possible to make a living writing the stories that lived in my vast and dynamic imagination.

That book, now called Then Came You, was so warmly and broadly received that I decided to write another. And then another… And two years after I accidentally found this amazing career, I left my job and went all in on my dream.

It hasn’t been a smooth journey. It’s been full of volatile ups and downs. But, it’s been the most rewarding and exciting thing I’ve ever done.

My favorite part of this job is connecting with my readers. I’m so honored by the kind and interesting people who read my work and reach out to connect to me.

I write compelling, dramatic, emotional romances with exceptional, diverse characters you’ll root for and never forget.

I’m a self-proclaimed happily ever junkie, I loves creating stories where under dogs find a love worth fighting for. When I’m not writing or reading, eating, or cooking, I indulges my wanderlust by planning her next globe-trotting adventure.

I was born in Accra, Ghana, raised in Houston, Texas, and finds that home is where my heart is.

I’m a proud graduate of Tufts University, Howard University School of Law, and the London School of Economics. Nearly twenty years ago, I married the love of my very own book boyfriend and together we’re raising two wonderful sons who are the light of our lives.

I believe in the power of dreams and know that nothing is beyond our reach if we’re willing to work hard and step out of our comfort zone to grab it.

I hope you find hours of entertainment and joy in my books!
