From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wait for You and Be with Me comes a daring tale that pushes boundaries . . . At 21, Calla hasn't done a lot of things. She’s never been kissed, never seen the ocean, never gone to an amusement park. But growing up, she witnessed some things no child ever should. She still carries the physical and emotional scars of living with a strung-out mother, Mona—secrets she keeps from everyone, including her close circle of college friends. But the safe cocoon Calla has carefully built is shattered when she discovers her mom has stolen her college money and run up a huge credit card debt in her name. Now, Calla has to go back to the small town she thought shed left behind and clean up her mom’s mess again. Of course, when she arrives at her mother’s bar, Mona is nowhere to be found. Instead, six feet of hotness named Jackson James is pouring drinks and keeping the place humming. Sexy and intense, Jax is in Calla’s business from they moment they meet, giving her a job and helping her search for Mona. And the way he looks at her makes it clear he wants to get horizontal . . . and maybe something more. Before Calla can let him get close, though, she’s got to deal with the pain of the past—and some very bad guys out to mess her up if she doesn't give them her mom.

"Kelsey Browning's Stay with Me is charming, emotional, and steamy. A must read!" ~ New York Times bestseller Melissa Foster The Romance Reviews Top Pick! “…the chemistry between [Cal and Delaney] ignites when they’re together. Like fire and water, the two created such steam that it was almost palpable.” Does heartbreak really make you stronger or does it simply make the heartbreaker impossible to resist the second time around? After losing a love as big as Texas, he’s moved on… After ten years in the military, Cal Maddox knows exactly what he wants: a quiet life in his hometown, a little piece of land, and the love of a good woman. Nothing on that list describes Delaney Shields, the woman who once jilted him. Now, she’s back in town, and with one kiss, their past attraction flames from teenage infatuation to full-fledged lust. …but she’s back, sexier and sassier than ever… Delaney never expects to see her first love, but a run-in with sexy-as-sin Cal sets off her craving for a second chance at the passion they once shared. Acting on those naughty fantasies would be disastrous, because she’s not the sticking kind, and Cal has roots a mile deep. …and they’re both hiding heart-breaking secrets. When Delaney is backed into a corner, her first instinct is to bolt. But with every kiss, every touch, she finds herself falling for the man she once believed was her soul mate. Will Cal be able to seduce his way back into her heart, or will her secrets from the past tear them apart for good? NOTE: STAY WITH ME was previously titled A LOVE TO LAST Prophecy of Love series Book 1 - Stay with Me Book 2 - Hard to Love
