SAAWAP
She was called cold. Heartless. Untouchable.
Selina built her walls brick by brick, and no one - not her family, not the men who tried and failed to win her over - had ever gotten past them. Until Andrew, wounded and furious after she humiliated him in front of his friends, decided the only fair revenge was to make her fall in love with him... and then walk away.
But the woman underneath the ice wasn't who anyone expected. She was funny. Fiercely intelligent. Achingly kind. And slowly, without meaning to, Andrew stopped playing a game and started falling for real.
Then the truth came out - about the bet, about betrayal closer to home than either of them could have imagined - and Selina lost everything in a single, devastating night. Her family. Her marriage. Nearly her life.
She woke up with no memory of any of it - only a single, searing fragment of the moment she was betrayed, and a fierce, unexplainable instinct never to go looking for the rest.
Years later, living the vibrant life she never got to have the first time, Selina meets a seven-year-old girl with her exact eyes, her exact mannerisms - a little girl who takes one look at her and calls her Mom.
And when she finally sees the girl's father, something in her world goes suddenly, impossibly still.
Some hearts don't stay broken forever. Some loves refuse to be forgotten - even by the person who lived them.
