Stay With Me
by Harmon, S.E.
Stay With Me tracks the messy, beautiful process of two people trying to find their footing after life has knocked them sideways. At its core, this is a story about the weight of history and the vulnerability required to rewrite it. You will spend most of your time inside the heads of characters who are deeply flawed but fiercely loyal, navigating the tension between their past mistakes and a future they are terrified to reach for. The pacing is deliberate, favoring quiet, intimate moments of realization over grand spectacles. It feels like a late-night conversation where the truth finally spills out. This is for readers who want their romance served with a side of genuine grit and character growth, and who find the process of two people slowly learning to trust each other more compelling than any external plot point.
