He claims he's Liam Croft, her billionaire husband, and that a terrible accident stole her memories. Thrust into a life of glamour and secrets, she must play the part of a wife she can't remember. But nothing adds up. The way the staff watches her with wary eyes. The locked doors. The flashes of a past that feels like someone else's nightmare. Liam is magnetic, protective, and looks at her with a longing that feels real. But as fragments of the truth begin to surface, she uncovers a dangerous web of corporate espionage and hidden enemies.
