My fingers clutched the letter he had given me before walking into the black van with the other boys; he always did this when he went on tour, he always gave me a letter before he left with them. What he didn't know was that I kept his little letters, I still had the two from his other tours, and I hoped this one would be no different. His messy hand written scribbling out "I love you's" and our inside jokes. His sloppy signature at the bottom, and the little smiley face he always drew with the words "Remember me." next to it. It was his thing to do.
One fateful night on tour, Harry is in an accident. A accident that strips him of all but a few memories. How will his girlfriend of three years react? How will she get Harry to remember her and his life, when she's still struggling to come to grips with the accident, and the brutal memories its left her with? How will Harry react when the only thing any says to him is, "Remember Me?"

Violet Bennett lives under the weight of a name she barely understands. Surrounded by secrets and lies, she's trained to survive. But when the lines between real and fake blur, Violet begins to realize that nothing in her world is as it seems. Every truth is layered in deception, and protection always comes at a cost. Sometimes that cost is your voice. Sometimes it's your freedom. And sometimes it's your heart.
Always nearby is Harry Styles, mysterious, sharp, cold and a constant reminder that danger is closer than she thinks. Covered in tattoos and silence, he watches like he knows something she doesn't. And naybe he does.
There's something between them. She feels it in the silence, in the way his anger feels personal, in the quiet moments that say more than words ever could. But love, if that's what this is, has no place in a world built on secrets. And falling for someone like him might mean losing everything.
Because in this world, love isn't soft.
It's a weapon.
And Violet is already in the crossfire.

"You shouldn't smoke."
The voice cut through me before I even processed it. I spun around instinctively, heart racing.
And there he was.
I blinked. "Holy shit. You scared me."
He didn't move. Didn't even flinch. "Didn't know I had to announce myself."
"How long have you been up here?"
He looked away, back out over the skyline. "A while."
"You're always hiding," I muttered.
"And you always follow."
