A marriage gets an extraordinary second chance

Scientist Emery Finch has let her demanding research crowd out the marriage she built with Luca, the charming landscaper she met in Las Vegas. After an accident takes his life, Emery uses her classified technology to bring him back—but Luca has no memory of their relationship. The novel combines romantic comedy with a speculative scientific premise, placing the couple’s shared history in tension with the chance to build something anew. Emery’s work and her relationship are closely connected: the breakthrough that makes Luca’s return possible also gives their marriage a different starting point.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy romantic comedies with a speculative-science element.
  • Readers interested in stories about marriage, memory, and second chances.
  • Adult readers looking for a romance centered on a couple rebuilding their connection.

Book overview

New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren returns with an unforgettable romance in which a fateful accident erases a troubled marriage from memory--and a scientific breakthrough gives love one extraordinary do-over.

Three years ago, scientist Emery Finch did something completely out of character: She got married. To Luca--the impossibly charming landscaper she met on one blistering night in Vegas who made her laugh, made he dance, made her feel.

But now, Emery is consumed by her top research, missing dinners, forgetting anniversaries, and promising herself Luca will understand once her cutting-edge discoveries come to light. Until the unthinkable happens: A tragic accident takes Luca from her.

Desperate not to lose him, Emery breaks every rule, using the classified technology she's developed to bring him back to life. And Luca would probably thank her for it, if only he could remember her. Their first kiss, their Sunny Sundays at the beach, the life they built together...all of it is gone.

It may be a miracle of science, but for Emery it's her one shot at a second chance. And this time, she won't waste it--because true love is always worth reviving.
