From author's newsletter

Sometimes, the heart remembers what the mind tries to forget...

Ten years ago, under the silver glow of a moonlit night, Iris confessed her deepest secret. She was hopelessly in love—not with her best friend Allison, but with Allison's mother, Layla. Brilliant, kind, and captivating, Layla was everything Iris ever wanted. But after revealing her feelings in a moment fueled by youthful courage and too much wine, Iris faced a gentle rejection that sent her fleeing into the night, vowing never to return.

Now, a decade later, life's twists have brought Iris back to the town she swore she'd forget, to care for her ailing grandmother. Here, paths cross once again with the unforgettable Layla, undeniably as alluring as ever. Despite the years and distance, the spark between them flickers to life, but so do the complexities of their connection.

Can Iris navigate the turbulent waters of her past emotions, especially when the stakes involve not just her heart, but her friendship with Allison? Is there a future where these feelings bring them together rather than driving them apart?

Reason to Stay is a second-chance romance that explores the courage it takes to follow one's heart against all odds, The tale of forbidden love and timeless desire promises to leave you yearning for the power of love.
