She can forgive, but can she forget?
Some days, Everly still thinks she sees him. In the food court at the mall, or in a car speeding past as the light changes. It only lasts a second, but when it happens, she slips back to a time when she was ruled-and nearly ruined-by August Kincaid. And it doesn’t matter that she’s moved on, that she’s about to marry another man. In those moments the only … moments the only thing she can do to regain control is take a deep breath and remind herself that August can’t hurt her-because he’s in a coma. Except that he’s not anymore.
August is awake. With no memories, he sets out to solve the mystery of his lost life. He unearths a photograph of a beautiful redhead named Everly and knows instinctively that she’s the key. But when he finds her, the August she describes is more monster than man.
Tortured by the thought of having hurt her, August wants only to become the man Everly deserves. As the new August emerges, Everly glimpses the person she first fell in love with. But can she trust that this August is real? When the final secret of their shared past is revealed, one of them will make a choice that changes their future forever . . .

This was my first experience with this authors work and I can say with complete certainty that it won’t be my last! I thoroughly enjoyed reading Everly and August’s story, it captivated my attention right from the start and had me hanging onto every written word…it was SO addictive!! I was really impressed with the writing style, and how easy it was for me to just fall right into the story, and I could tell that Ms. Berg put a lot of time and care into developing these characters. And that she tried to give readers a realistic view of what life is like for someone dealing with memory loss and learning not only how to deal with readjusting to their new life, but also how to deal with struggles of finding themselves again. Some of my favorite reads involve love triangles, and I have to say this one definitely hit the mark!! If you like reading stories packed with intensity, passion, thrilling action, and two alpha males vying for the same women’s heart then this is DEFINITELY the perfect read for you! Highly recommend this one, the cliffhanger ending totally took me by surprise, and left me dying for more, I cannot wait to read the next installment!!
