About this book

"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.

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.
