I Would Stay Forever: A YA Sweet Romance (Parkhurst Prep)

Dean Graham has always been a little too smug, a little too charming, and always just a little too close.

He’s my brother’s best friend. The guy who never missed a chance to get under my skin. He never meant anything to me.

Until suddenly, he did.

On the worst night of my life, Dean was the one who held me up. Now, he’s showing up in ways I never expected, and seeing through the smile I use to keep everyone out.

But falling for Dean is out of the question. I already know how love ends, and I refuse to let it ruin me the way it ruined my family. It’s easier to protect myself this way—because I’ve already made up my mind to leave this place, and everyone in it, the moment I graduate from high school.

Now, I don’t know what scares me more: the idea of staying… or what it would mean to leave him behind. I Would Stay Forever is a sweet & wholesome slow-burn young adult romance.

Anticipated release is early September 2025.
