From USA Today bestselling author, Willow Winters, comes a seductive and emotionally captivating second-chance romance.It’s impossible to get over what we had. He was everything — irresistibly handsome, ruthlessly elite, and seemingly untouchable — while I was nothing.Yet he protected me when I was at my lowest; more than that, he wanted me. He devoured me… and I did the same to him.Until it all … same to him.
Until it all fell apart and I ran as far away from Madox as I could. After all, the two of us were never meant to be together.
I never thought I’d see him again, years later. Let alone be under him in the way I’ve craved since we said goodbye.
The attraction between us still burns like fire, but time can’t change the past. And I don’t know if it’s possible for us to mend all of our broken pieces.
“Winters creates another masterpiece of beautiful storytelling and leaves her readers breathless.” – Nicki – The Overflowing Bookcase
This romance was originally published in the Cards of Love collection. It has been revised with additional scenes. Happy reading xx.

I first read this book when it was Cards of Love: Three of Swords. I loved it just as much the second time thru. The added content made it even better. This story is such an emotional rollercoaster ride. A second chance romance with all the feels.
Sophie and Madox have had an on again off again relationship for years. When she reached her breaking point, Sophie moved across the country for three years. She never thought she was good enough for Madox and didn’t think he had real feelings for her. With the offer of her dream job, Sophie is back in New York City and afraid to see Madox again. He’s loved her the whole time she has been gone and will do everything to keep her this time.
A few twists, lots of emotion and very hot scenes that keep you reading till the end.
What a classic Willow Winters story!
This hot, fast paced novella is just a small taste of Ms. Winters’ talent as a story teller!
This is Madox and Sophia’s story. A story of second chances and words not spoken.
This story kept me glued to my kindle and when I got to the twists…well I was floored! Just when I think no, that can’t happen! Well Ms. Winters proves you wrong!
I fell in love hard and fast with these two characters, I know when you read this, you will too!
Well done yet again Willow! You know how to write the best heat and twists in a story!
Tell Me to Stay is an emotional, angsty read about two lovers and their road of suffering and forgiveness. This is a quick read because the story just pulls you in and you want to know what happens between Madox and Sophie. If you are looking for that roller coaster of the emotions that Willow Winters is so good at delivering then go and read this book.
Raw Love and Emotion at its Best! Fantastic Second Chance Romance
I loved this story so much. It is hot! It is emotional! And it makes me want to believe in second chances. Madox and Sophie are perfect examples of what flawed lovable characters read like. They each in their own right have bits that just don’t work right but they also have their strengths and everything that makes them loveable. I felt raw love and emotion, even some type of personal strength. I understood them and wanted them to just figure it out because they deserved their second chance. I also really loved how the chapters are set up. Parts of it crushed me and angered me but it was always because I could totally relate to it. A lot of second chance romance you have to wait and wait and wait to find out what happened in the past to get them to this point. In this book it starts right away giving you tidbits of what happened in the past in a way that I found I really liked. I will read it again when I need a good cry and a happy ending!
TELL ME TO STAY

Release Date May 13
Tell Me To Stay by Willow Winters is originally her story, Three of Swords for the Cards of Love Collection. It has some new content with extra scenes. I did not read Three of Swords so I can’t say how much it differs but I can definitely say that Tell Me To Stay was sooo good.
Sophie and Madox had an explosive connection and their chemistry was off the charts. Two people so connected but with the inability to voice their true feelings, lack of communication, doubt and self worth is what destroyed their relationship. But despite the time and distance between Sophie and Madox their feelings never changed. The reunion was just as intense as it was upon their first meeting. A connection beyond words and unbreakable between the two makes this story so captivating.
Willow has a way of making you lose yourself in her words and the world she creates with her characters. Madox and Sophie are no exception. The journey to their HEA is worth the read. She is definitely one of my top 1-click authors.
This originally was the story The Three Swords in The Cards of Love Series. The author has added new content to the story. It was fantastic then and it is spectatular now! A must read! It will captivate you with all the emotions and chemistry of the characters. They are deeply complex, flawed and have deep rooted love for each other. Will they realize it in time? Find out for yourself. It is worth it! I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance reader copy of the book.
This book was so emotional, giving you all the feels. Originally released as part of the Cards of Love series. We get a some new/extra scenes. That just make this book that little bit more. I absolutely adored it.
Meant to Be
A first love never dims. It always holds you captive in a special place in your heart. At a young age, Sophie met Madox. When he became her champion in a moment of dire need, she would never feel this love with anyone else again. They were both immediatelydrawn to one another both physically and emotionally. Unfortunately, complications seep in and Sophie had to flee to get away.
Years later fate brings them back to each other and the looming questions return. Can they again share what they once had together. Willow as always writes sensitive, tender yet blazing passion into her characters and holds no prisoners when it comes tocapturing the readers heart. In the story of Madox and Sophie a beautiful second chance story is born.
Madox and Sophie’s story is amazing. I was hooked from the first paragraph. The rollercoaster of emotions was crazy. And the way their relationship evolved was epic. Willow really outdid herself with this one. I highly recommend this and all of her books if you like dark romance.
To say that Willow knows how to capture her readers with a few words is putting it mildly! This author is a definite one click for me, each and every time! Tell Me to Stay was amazing the first time I read it, and even better the second – second chances are bittersweet but sometimes full of unresolved issues and feelings. The love story of Madox and Sophie is just that. Madox gave Sophie time when she left three years ago, but now that she’s back, he’s making a point that he’s not letting her go, but when outside influences and secrets come to light he’ll have to fight harder than ever before for his girl. This is a quick read but so full of everything expected from a Willow Winter’s book!
This book will give you all the feels. Madox & Sophie’s Story has me hooked. Once I started reading I didn’t want too stop. The emotions both characters go through you can feel as you are reading their story. Truly an amazing story and I love all the characters. Another great read from Willow that everyone must read.
Willow has given her all to deliver this 5-star read. This is a shorter story, but she manages to make us feel the deep love Sophie and Madox have for each other in the first few chapters. We share in their love, their pain, and their grief, all because of the beautiful writing of this author.
Willow takes us on the elusive emotional roller coaster ride. Introducing us to the familiarity of first-love and makes you remember how easy it can be to fall into old habits and lost loves. She brings out the pain and the angst when love isn’t enough. The pain of betrayal cuts like a knife, and worst of all, the hurt of being unworthy and unwanted. This is an inspiring love story that felt as real as real can be.
I loved they way Willow Winters laid out the book, starting each chapter with a tarot card definition, which I felt gave a little insight into what to expect and the feel for the upcoming chapter. This helped give me more insight into the characters, which helped me attach to them a little more.
Pride is such a nasty beast and it will build unbreakable walls if you let it. Not only was Tell Me To Stay a beautiful love story built around flawed and real characters, but it also doled out a heavy dose of reality check for anyone willing to listen and become aware of what might be burdening their own lives. I honestly can’t wait to read it again and again. I know I’ll get more and more out of it with each read.
This is a great read! I really felt the struggle of the characters and loved them! I loved the added content!
ღ To say that Sophie & Madox relationship is complicated is putting it mildly….Madox & Sophie has been through so much together & individually.
Sophie was offer amazing job at Candor designs as a branding advisor. It had been years since Sophie was in New York & just as long since she had seen Madox. But doesn’t not mean she hadn’t thought about him in that time
Madox is rich, sexy & most of all dominant. Madox once let Sophie walk away, he has grown & change over the years & he goanna make damn sure that he won’t make that mistake again by letting Sophie slip away.
There are so many secrets between these two, so many mistakes made. So much push & pull, Ms Winters never writes submissive female characters… Well at in the way you are thinking haha
•I loved the book. It was addictive … Great second chance … this was short, but amazing read… So many elements to this story that I can’t describe … you may only experience them by reading the book
one way to find out how the story play out, is to “one click” this book & find out for yourself
————————– Happy Reading ———
Paulette Review
Very captivating book.
Even after reading the first version,this longer revised book still kept and held my attention.
I really loved Sophie and Madox.
Madox is a successful confident man.
Sophie has worked hard to get to where she is now in life.
The way they meet created a strong bond between them.
Their physical relationship is is off the charts.
Their chemistry and attraction for each other is unrivaled.
Where they lack is their communication.
That major issue brings uncertainty,insecurity and a feeling of being less.
This book is a great combination of sexiness and sadness.
Wonderful second chance romance story!
This is a great story about two people who just don’t know how to express their love for one another. Sophie has loved Madox since she was seventeen years old and he rescued her from a bad situation. She never felt worthy of his love and she continually doubted that she had anything to offer Madox. Madox was always afraid to tell Sophie how he felt for fear she would run away. The title for this book is so appropriate, because all Sophie wants from Madox is for him to tell her to stay. This is a rewritten version of Three Swords from the Cards of Love collection. It has wonderful new content and is a definite must read, I highly recommend it!
Omg I love it!!
I loved their story the first time but with new added content and extended scenes it made it magical and I bawled like a baby, it was so beautiful, like a fairy tail.
This is amazing willow
This second chance romance packs a powerful emotional punch. Madox and Sophie’s story is filled with plenty of angst. Prepare for the epic roller coaster ride that this book will send your emotions on. I recommend having tissues, chocolate and ice cream on hand. The drama and emotional turmoil is balanced out well with heat, tenderness and sweetness. I loved this wonderful read that I feel will surely touch your heart. This is my independent, impartial review.
I was hooked & rooting for this couple from the start, you can feel every emotion along with the main characters in the second chance story. So find your comfortable reading spot with some tissues, a glass of wine & enjoy the story of Soph & Maddox.
In true Willow form, this book was emotional, love, intrigue, sexy and somewhere in the middle is the chemistry between Maddox & Sophie. Sometimes it’s better the second time around. This book was oh so good.
