If You Stayed (Deluxe Edition)

Paperback | 400 pages

With incredible reviews and a coveted spot on TikTok’s best "books that’ll make you ugly cry" lists, rising star Brittainy Cherry brings the angst in a deeply touching story about young lovers drawn together despite the odds for fans of Punk 57 and all things Colleen Hoover.

There once was a man who loved her, until he forgot every memory they'd ever shared...

Gabriel Sinclair would forever be Kierra Evans' first. Her first best friend, her first kiss, her first love...and her first heartbreak. The accident that nearly took his life ripped the memory of Kierra from his grasp—and for the last decades, she'd let the guilt of that one terrible night keep them apart.

It took Kierra years to make peace with the fact that Gabriel would no longer be in her life, so when he shows up as the architect for her new home, her world’s tossed upside down. Now, she's trapped in a loveless marriage, raising a child, while Gabriel stirs up feelings she thought long buried. It feels like Kierra's soul is waking up after years of being in a deep slumber—and her controlling husband will do whatever it takes to keep them apart.

She knows she should push Gabriel away to protect him from the shadows surrounding her. Yet, she can’t deny the hope that blooms whenever he’s near—the chance that he might remember her, that they could reclaim the chapters of their story that they’ve lost.Â

Nothing good could come from being together, but Kierra can’t help but wonder what would happen if this time...he stayed.
