Tell Me Softly: The YA Forbidden Contemporary Romance Sensation (Tell Me Book 1)

From New York Times bestselling author and Wattpad sensation Mercedes Ron comes the English translation of the first book in the Tell Me series – a riveting young adult novel full of forbidden love and angsty teen romance.

***

The Di Bianco brothers. Her best friends. Her greatest downfall.

Kamila Hamilton had everything under control…or so she thought. She hadn’t planned for the Di Bianco brothers to return and turn her world upside down.

Thiago got her first kiss.

Taylor always protected her.

Their return makes Kami’s seemingly perfect life shake. She is no longer the innocent young girl they once knew. Since they left, she’s built walls and worn a mask to keep herself safe. The secrets they carry threaten to bring down those fragile walls and expose what happened so many years ago. Only they can reach the true Kami behind all those barriers.

Will Kami be able to resist Thiago’s presence? What happens when Taylor starts to look at her differently? Will everything explode into a thousand pieces again?

Filled with angst, danger, and electric attraction, Tell Me Softly is perfect for readers looking for:

• Contemporary teen romance books
• Unputdownable & binge-worthy novels
• TikTok books
• Authors like Colleen Hoover
• Forbidden romance
