She woke up with no memory. Keifer told her she was his fiancée. He said he saved her from an accident. But some rescues feel more like captivity.

But is it real love? Or just another beautiful lie?

Jasper Jean "Jay Jay" Mariano thought she could survive anything- Keifer made her thought she could survive anything until the man she married at eighteen forgot the one day that mattered most: their 10th wedding anniversary. Tired of being invisible in her own marriage, Jay Jay walks away with their two children, hoping to find herself beyond the role of a forgotten wife. Mark Keifer Watson never stopped loving Jay Jay.

In a school full of secrets, their connection becomes the one thing neither of them expected-and the one thing that could unravel them both.
