On the night of their anniversary, Iris waited. But Arrow never showed.
He came back the next day-with no memory of the promise they made, or the love they once shared. Cold. Distant. Changed. But Iris had already made up her mind. A silent goodbye. A set of divorce papers. A door closed.
But nothing stays buried for long.
As secrets unravel and past wounds reopen, Iris finds herself caught between the man who broke her heart and the truth that could destroy them both. Especially when Arrow's closest friend, Nathan, hides a darkness neither of them saw coming.
How do you forget the love of your life?
And what happens when she refuses to be forgotten?
