She was supposed to be just his best friend.
Not his fiancée.
Not his everything.
At twenty-three, Aspen Danster has the world at her feet - CEO of her own wildly successful digital marketing firm, the quiet heir to a billion-dollar empire, and the girl nobody really knows. The media can only speculate about the mysterious, untouchable beauty who's managed to stay out of the spotlight... until now.
When her childhood best friend, Marine Captain Leonardo Anderson, wakes from a devastating accident with no memory of the last few years, he mistakes Aspen for his fiancée. And the doctors say correcting him too soon could cost him his fragile recovery.
So Aspen agrees to play along, just for a little while.
But the longer she stays by his side - fending off gossip, the media, and her own growing feelings - the harder it becomes to remember this is all supposed to be pretend.
Because somewhere between the lies and the longing, Leo's starting to believe she's his.
And Aspen is starting to wonder if she ever stopped being.
A story of friendship, heartbreak, and finding love where you least expect it.
