About the book
After the explosion that destroyed Sam’s memory, she wakes to a life everyone else remembers for her. Mateo Blackthorn knows every promise they made and every danger they survived. Caleb Mercer knows only the woman standing in front of him now—and asks for nothing she cannot freely give. As pieces of Sam’s past return, so does the tenderness she once shared with Mateo. But his devotion is changing. Small choices are made for her. Concern becomes surveillance. Apologies begin to sound like payment for access. Caught between memory and choice, Sam must decide whether love can survive without trust—and how far Mateo will go when her answer is no.
