Now I have a deep-rooted mistrust of people and a wall of steel and ice surrounding my heart.
So, when Reed Ryan steps into my life, I know I need to keep him far away.
He’s everything I grew up hating. Fighting. Fleeing.
Devastatingly handsome, he looks like a drunken regret and has heartbreak written over every inch of his body—literally. He’s the quintessential bad boy . . . and he’s a cop.
But the man is my undoing.
When I push, he stands firm.
When I fight, he battles for us.
When he touches me, my traitorous body and heart respond.
Little does Reed know, every lie I feed him is laced with truth.
Because that’s what happened to me.
Woke up in a hospital bed with my family and friends telling me everything I knew was nothing more than a coma-induced dream.
The girl I love. The baby we’re having . . . all of it ripped away.
In their place is a house I don’t recognize and a girl I’ve never seen before who’s claiming she’s my fiancée.
To everyone around me, it’s clear my mind twisted around my real life to create a false one. As weeks pass and a few crucial memories return, it’s easy to see they’re right. Now I’m terrified about what I’ll learn next.
The last thing I remember before waking up in the hospital was losing the girl I loved and breaking her heart. Even though it’s the one thing no one can connect to my real life, it’s the one thing I can feel is true.
But I’ve just started falling in love with my fiancée all over again, and I’ll do anything to keep that memory from turning into my reality.
