I’d forgotten my past.

But he hadn’t forgotten me...

There was a life before the accident—a life that vanished when amnesia erased my first twelve years of memories.

With Mom burying her secrets in a bottle, I was left to piece together the fragments of my childhood on my own.

Now, back in the town where I was raised, I’m finally uncovering long-buried truths that shake the very foundations of my reconstructed memories.

I’m no longer the person I once was, and neither is my childhood best friend, Ashton De Santis. Ashton, now a fierce bare-knuckle fighter, protective and intense, slowly reintroduces me to our shared past. It’s hard to ignore the spark of old feelings, but as our chemistry reignites, I can’t shake the fear of getting burned.

Wanting Ashton is a risk I can’t afford. Losing him a second time could haunt me forever.

Previously released as "Missing You," this book now comes with revisions and new content, including extra chapters and an epilogue.
