About this ebook

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.

Fans of Tijan, Jay Crownover, and L.A. Cotton, prepare to be swept away by this tale of childhood friends turned lovers. This gripping new adult novel is a standalone story set within the Crown Village universe, home to War Brothers MC series.

A teenage romance. Mia moved away with her mother at 12 years old and now returns 6 years later. Her old friends are there and have been waiting for her return, but her long term memory loss has its problems. Ashton is her longtime friend and has been waiting for her return. A relationship rekindled definitely has its moments. She hasn't had a boyfriend, whereas he has had plenty of one to one with War Brothers MC older club women . There is a small reference to this, then it is ignore and unexplained or expanded on why Ashton chose this route. The association with the MC is kept to the background of fighting and the sex and romance is described within the late teen angst of young love, younger friendship, jealous school girl admirers, but it seems nothing is likely to derail this couple. Her mother's behaviour is inexcusable because she failed to admit her issues and the consequences of her actions. It was good to read how Mia reacts and responds to holding her accountable.

A lovely story of found family and blossoming friendships. When Mia’s mother is taken into rehab, Mia’s grandmother turns up to take her home and care for her. The only problem is 12 years ago Mia had an accident and lost all her memories (including friends and family). The story navigates through Mia getting to know her grandmother, and reconnecting with friends she has no memories of. The addition of Ashton’s POV really adds some depth to the novel. Overall a great read.

I really enjoyed this book. You feel for Mia, dealing with her memory loss since the accident, on top of which her mother's alcohol abuse. She working as well as going to school to help out with the home finances. But when she gets a knock on the door, she is in for a big surprise, when her Nana, someone she didn't remember, is standing on the doorstep waiting to take her home to care for her. There Mia finds out about another life she had and lost.
