Emily found solace in a small mountain town five years ago, though after running into an amnesiac on the side of the road, her old life makes a resurgence.
 
                                                                      *****
 
Emily has been hiding from her past for five years in a remote mountain lodge - until the night she nearly runs over an injured man on the side of the road.  North has amnesia, and while he recuperates at the lodge, he and Emily can't seem to ignore the growing chemistry between them.  There are just two problems: without his memories, North doesn't know who he really is or what he's left behind. And Emily can't risk leaving her safe haven to face the world she's hiding from once his memories return.

All The Ways We Ended by everafterromance

In the quiet coastal town of Lowell Cove, memory clings like salt in the air. Inescapable, corrosive, and impossible to forget. For six years, Ava stayed behind, carrying the weight of unanswered questions and the echo of a name she never dared speak aloud: August. He was her first everything. First kiss, first heartbreak, first almost. But when his brother Caleb died, August ran. No goodbye. No explanation. He didn't return for her. Not for his mother's funeral. Not even when the life they'd built between glances and promises came crashing down around them. Now he's back. Drawn home by his father's death and the ghosts he thought he left behind, and Ava isn't the same girl he walked away from. She's guarded, colder, and far less willing to let history repeat itself. But when proximity reignites what distance never fully extinguished, they're both forced to face the truth: that the story between them never really ended. Old wounds. Long-buried secrets. And a love that still burns beneath the silence.

Recalling Lincoln Carter by katherinepowell

Olivia White visited Los Angeles the summer before her freshman year of high school and met a teen heartthrob who fell for her. Hard. She left him when the summer ended and hasn't seen him since, his number blocked, his face forgotten. Three years later, Olivia is a senior in high school and ready to be done with the people around her. Yet when Lincoln Carter decides to move into her town, Olivia panics--what if she's discovered? What if he remembers the girl who left him high and dry and never returned his calls? Nevermind the fact that he doesn't even know her real name. A story of lost love rekindled between two would-be strangers, "Recalling Lincoln Carter" takes away the cliche "pop-star-falls-for-disinterested-fan" storyline and replaces it with a fresh look at just how far lies can take us, and just how far we will go to keep those lies as a reality. Love can be lost, but it can also be recalled. First official chapter published July 11, 2016 Last chapter published January 29, 2017 Highest Rank: #48 in Teen Fiction on 1/29/17
