Please Don't Go

De: E. Salvador

A heart-wrenching and unforgettable contemporary romance about grief, healing, and second chances, where Josefine and Daniel—two souls from different worlds—learn that sometimes love is the only way to find your way back to the surface.

He felt like he was drowning.

She was about to drown.

Josefine Resendiz, is struggling to figure out her life. Between her complicated relationship with grief and not having a single clue how to feel what she can't understand, she’s sinking and isn’t sure how to float back up to the surface.

Daniel Garcia, shortstop, a budding ray of sunshine, and potential first round pick for the MLB Draft, has life figured out. At least, that’s what everyone assumes. On the surface, he’s the embodiment of happiness and life. But beneath it all, guilt and grief have been consuming him since his brother passed away. Unsure how to deal with his feelings, he bottles them up and masks the pain of haunting reminders behind a mask of smiles.

That’s until he stumbles upon Josefine on Christmas Day. That wasn’t supposed to happen. He wasn’t supposed to be there, but neither was she, at least not for long. The night evolves into something neither one of them expected and when morning comes, she's nowhere to be found.

He can’t stop thinking about her. She wants to forget him. But fate seems to have plans for them.

Once the semester begins, they find out they have a class together, and avoiding Daniel becomes hard when they’re paired to be hiking buddies. Much to Josefine's chagrin, she likes him more than she cares to admit. And Daniel is struggling to keep everything he's bottled up around her.

Hesitantly and unknowingly, they’re opening up old wounds they wanted to keep closed. Feeling grounded around each other. And unintentionally falling in love.
