How to Stay: A Novella

From the IPPY-award-winning author of Entanglement comes a story of tumultuous family secrets and a love strong enough to weather the storm.

A princess, a pauper, and a dog...

From the outside, it might seem like Miranda George has the perfect life-a wealthy family, a great education, a good paralegal job after college in her parents' law firm. But all is not what it seems. When she's assigned to Matthias Pino, the newest hire of The George Law Firm, she believes that he'll be just like any other baby lawyer her parents have hired over the years: narcissistic, self-satisfied, and vain.

When Matthias Pino meets Miranda George, the princess of Winston-Salem, he doesn't try to wine and dine her. Instead, he shows her where he grew up, in the trailer parks outside of Winston-Salem. He takes her to his brother's dog rescue farm instead of to a fancy brunch. If she's going to choose him, he wants her to choose the real him.

But when a family nightmare threatens to drag them apart, Matthias learns that Miranda isn't nearly as tough as she seems, and Miranda learns that the hardest thing to do is to-quite simply-stay.
