Rose Canyon

In one second, my life disappeared.My past. My memories. My future.The only certainty I have from the last three years is that my older brother is dead, and I am the only eyewitness.In order to protect the case, the lawyers demand that no one give me any information about my life . . . I must remember on my own. My only help comes from my brother's best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter, Spencer Cross.He has no idea how many nights I've spent dreaming of his name-and his body-next to mine.Now we're a team and our goal is to recover my memories and retrace my past. But each day we spend together, he's looking at me as more than his friend's little sister and I find it harder to want my old life back. Instead I'm wishing for a new one-with him. His kiss feels like home. His arms make me feel safe, and I never want this to end.As my memories return, forcing me to face my future, everything falls apart... especially when I find an engagement ring hidden in my apartment. I have no idea who gave it to me, or what it means about my past.I may have asked Spencer to help me remember, but now I wish I could forget.

My biggest mistake was falling in love with my fake husband.It was supposed to be a marriage of convenience between two best friends in the military. Our plan was to collect extra money and stay stationed together.But what failed? Me. I did. Because suddenly I wanted a man who was never meant to be my real husband.In an attempt to remedy my mistake, I severed all ties and put my life as a combat medic and Emmett Maxwell behind me. I've lost too many people to open myself up to love.Now I'm working as a private investigator, and fate has stepped in, forcing our paths to intersect again when I'm looking into the disappearance of a missing girl with ties to Emmett's hometown. A case I fear puts his life in danger.He gives me one week to prove my suspicions and then I need to sign the divorce papers and leave. The problem with that? The moment I see Emmett again, I realize how foolish it was to leave him, to think I could ever stop loving him. All I want is a second chance.When the case threatens not only my life but also his, I'm faced with my worst fear. How many times can a heart break before it shatters beyond repair?

I am about to lose everything.My home. My name. My future.My husband was involved in something that could cost us our lives, and on his deathbed, he demands my daughter and I flee Britain. I had no idea he found her biological father, Holden James, in Rose Canyon, and that's where we'd start over.The moment we see each other, feelings I'd long forgotten rush over me. Holden doesn't hesitate to care for us. We find ourselves reaching for each other, even when we should hold back. His smile warms me, his arms protect me, and against my better judgment, I fall for him. All the possibilities of a future are threatened by a looming past.I'm being hunted, and it's just a matter of time before someone finds me guilty of crimes I didn't commit. Whatever trouble my husband was involved in won't evade me forever.I am trying to keep my promise and stay for Holden, but I don't know how long it'll be before we have to run.My name was Sophie Pearson, but I vanished, just like my hope to ever find love again.
