Say You Still Love Me

by K.A. Tucker

Overview

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

The bestselling author of The Simple Wild and Keep Her Safe and “master of steamy romance” (Kirkus Reviews) delivers a sizzling novel about an ambitious and high-powered executive who reconnects with her first love: the boy who broke her heart.

Life is a mixed bag for Piper Calloway.

On the one hand, she’s a twenty-nine-year-old VP at her dad’s multibillion-dollar real estate development firm, and living the high single life with her two best friends in a swanky downtown penthouse. On the other hand, she’s considered a pair of sexy legs in a male-dominated world and constantly has to prove her worth. Plus she’s stuck seeing her narcissistic ex-fiancé—a fellow VP—on the other side of her glass office wall every day.

Things get exponentially more complicated for Piper when she runs into Kyle Miller—the handsome new security guard at Calloway Group, and coincidentally the first love of her life.

The guy she hasn’t seen or heard from since they were summer camp counselors together. The guy from the wrong side of the tracks. The guy who apparently doesn’t even remember her name.

Piper may be a high-powered businesswoman now, but she soon realizes that her schoolgirl crush is still alive and strong, and crippling her concentration. What’s more, despite Kyle’s distant attitude, she’s convinced their reunion isn’t at all coincidental, and that his feelings for her still run deep. And she’s determined to make him admit to them, no matter the consequences.

★ 06/03/2019

This nostalgic cross-class romance will hook readers from start to finish. When wealthy 16-year-old Piper Calloway arrives at Camp Wawa in upstate New York, she immediately falls for counselor Kyle, who’s tattooed, mischievous, and gorgeous. Thirteen years later, Piper is preparing to assume leadership of her father’s massive real estate development company. She’s elated to discover that Kyle is her building’s new security guard—and devastated that he doesn’t even remember her name. Tucker (The Simple Wild) builds a gripping emotional arc in both time periods, capturing all the heartwarming pleasure of first love while hinting at a tragic event that eventually separates the young lovers. Reunited, Piper and Kyle try to figure out whether their early bond can be renewed and overcome their different social strata, facing roadblocks from work, family, and friends. Tucker skillfully builds both romantic tension and suspense, and delivers an immensely satisfying conclusion in this stellar page-turner. Agent: Stacy Donaghy, Donaghy Literary. (Aug.)

Natasha is a Book Junkie

Lovely, sexy, and well-written, with a great cast of finely-drawn characters. This is a modern-day Cinderella story that will make you hope again. I enjoyed every page.

Amy Harmon

A fantastic contemporary romance featuring dysfunction, lies, regrets and illicit transgressions. Set in a small, gossipy Pennsylvania town, with intense and intriguing plot twists and formidably engaging characters, she keeps readers on their toes. But it’s definitely her knight in shining armor and flawed heroine with trust issues, plus an impressive pint-sized costar, who rule every page of this unforgettable story.

Praise for Until It Fades:

From the Publisher

08/01/2019

Piper Calloway and Kyle Miller fell for each other fast and hard as teenage camp counselors, but then Kyle disappeared when the summer ended, leaving Piper with a broken heart. Thirteen years later, Piper has stepped into a demanding new role at her real estate firm and is preparing to take over for her father. She's juggling how to combat the misogyny she's encountering from a colleague, figure out how to work with her ex-fiancé, and prove to her father she can make the correct decisions. When she spots Kyle—now an even more attractive security guard—at the front desk of her building, she's instantly back at Camp Wawa and unable to deny the connection, despite the past hurt. Chapters alternate between two adults uncertain whether they can overcome their past and a fateful summer of reckless love as Piper and Kyle try to determine whether they can and should recapture the heady feelings they had before. VERDICT Readers of both adult and YA romances will relish Tucker's (Ten Tiny Breaths) tale of swoon-filled first love and the drama of reconnecting with a person you may never have stopped loving.—Kellie Tilton, Univ. of Cincinnati Blue Ash
