If You Stayed (Standard Edition) - by Brittainy Cherry (Paperback)

About the Book

"Gabriel Sinclair would forever be my first. My first best friend, my first kiss, my first love...and my first heartbreak. The accident that nearly took his life ripped the memory of me from his grasp-and for the last decades, I've let the guilt of that one terrible night keep us apart. It took me years to make peace with the fact that he would no longer be in my life, so when he shows up as the architect for my new home, my world's tossed upside down. Now, I'm trapped in a loveless marriage, raising a child, while Gabriel stirs up feelings I thought long buried... I know I should push Gabriel away to protect him from the shadows surrounding me. Yet, I can't deny the hope that blooms whenever he's near-the chance that he might remember me, that we could reclaim the chapters of our story that we've lost. Nothing good could come from us, but I can't help but wonder what would happen if this time...he stayed"--Page 4 of cover.

Book Synopsis

"Brittainy Cherry's storytelling is brilliant and beautiful." --LUCY SCORE, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over

He was the love of her life, until an accident erased every memory of her.

Thanks to a devastating accident, Gabriel Sinclair forgot everything he knew about his first love. Now he's back, hired as the architect to design the home Kierra will share with her controlling husband. He doesn't remember their past, doesn't remember the kisses, the promises, the heartbreak. But something in him still feels her.

Kierra made peace with losing him once. She thought she'd buried that chapter, for her daughter's sake. But his return threatens to unravel the fragile life she's built and awaken a love she never truly let go.

When love is forgotten, and safety becomes a prison, what would one risk to find their way back to the one thing that ever felt real?

If You Stayed is a haunting second chance romance about memory, survival, and the kind of love that refuses to die, even when the heart forgets how to hold on.
