Say You'll Remember Me
by Abby Jimenez
Samantha Diaz meets veterinarian Xavier Rush on the worst possible terms, when his bluntness about her rescue kitten earns him a well-deserved insult. A second meeting brings an apology and one unforgettable, nearly endless first date. But Samantha is about to move across the country to care for her mother, and she asks Xavier to keep their night as a single perfect memory. Distance does not dull the connection, and making it work will mean both of them rethinking what they owe their families and themselves. Jimenez pairs swoony banter with real-life weight: caregiving, family strain, and old wounds.
