A second chance with a missing six years

Molly Graham wakes in the hospital unable to remember the past six years—and learns that she is married to Aster Bishop, her former boarding-school rival. Returning to their shared home gives her a chance to piece together the life she has lost, while the considerate man she meets there clashes with her memories of the boy she once despised. The gap between past and present shapes this romance: Molly must reckon with a marriage and a love she cannot recall, as Aster keeps his distance and appears to have secrets. Memory loss, forced proximity and the possibility of falling for the same person again anchor the story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in second-chance romance and rivals-to-lovers dynamics.
  • Readers who enjoy memory-loss premises and forced-proximity setups.
  • Readers looking for a romance with a found-family element.

Book overview

"Filled to the brim with tenderness, yearning, and heart....Five effervescent stars!" -Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author

A second-chance romance following a young woman who wakes up in the hospital with no memory of the past six years, only to find that she apparently married the one man she can't stand--her arrogant and infuriating former boarding school rival.

Molly Graham's day can't possibly get any worse after she wakes up in a hospital bed with a head injury and amnesia. But then Aster Bishop--the Aster Bishop who made her life hell at boarding school--storms into her room calling her his wife.

To Molly's shock, in the six years she no longer recalls, she somehow fell in love with a man she once despised. Persuaded by her lifelong friends to give her new reality a chance, she reluctantly returns to the home she and Aster share to try and piece together her life.

So much has changed, not least the considerate and devastatingly handsome man who spends every night sleeping on the sofa to avoid making her uncomfortable. This Aster is nothing like the entitled boy she once knew. Their chemistry is undeniable-but he's distant with her, infuriatingly so. It's clear he has secrets, and Molly can't stand it. Especially knowing that she might never regain her memories.

That she fell in love with Aster Bishop once is hard enough to believe. But to fall in love again? To promise a future, always, when she can't remember her past? It feels impossible when faced with a man she hardly knows and isn't sure she can trust.

And yet...
