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.

After five years together, I still found myself distracted at work with thoughts of her; really anywhere I was, she was on my mind. Her soft pink lips, her long golden hair, her intoxicating green eyes. The angle of her heart shaped jawline and every curve of the perfect ivory skin on her tiny, shapely form. The way her bedroom eyes gazed at me through her lashes as she lay underneath my body. How her nails felt as they dragged across my skin, making me forget everything except the woman in front of me. The way she still blushed when I kissed her in public. I loved Eliana more than anyone ever would, and I knew that I'd die without her. A part of me needed to dominate her; to own her and control her. I knew she had a sweet, gentle nature, and it didn't take much to crush her forgiving spirit. I'd done that in the past to her when I'd been a little extreme in my lessons, and as a result I'd hurt her. But what she didn't understand was that everything I did was for us, and I would make sure that she understood this time around. I wouldn't lose her again. And there was no way that I would let her remember what happened before I found her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Eliana awakens broken and bruised, with no memories of her present life. Though struggling with injuries and without her memories, she discovers hers is an enviable life with the perfect home, a loving husband and everything money can buy. Slowly Ellie's life is coming back to her in pieces, and her perfect life may be an illusion. Ellie must uncover secrets kept by the men in her life in order to break free of the dangerous prison of her past. Can you love someone you can't remember?

When Phoenix struts back in to Delaney's life after a career nosedive and time away from the spotlight, he claims he's no longer the walking red flag he was when they dated. And when he asks her for a second chance--one weekend together to explain himself and prove he isn't who he used to be--she isn't sure what to do.
