❤️🔥This Month's Editorial Obsession: A love story so heartbreaking, so beautiful—missing it would be a crime.❤️🔥
He forgot her. She never forgot him.
The sound of waves triggered the memories of Leon. She remembered how he chased her, how he lifted her so easily while she was giggling and twisting in his arms.
A smile touched her lips, thinking about the day when he made love to her under the moonlight, covered in wet sand. They were young, wild, and free.
They were the past.
He is not here anymore and the ghost of his memories still haunts her. How would life be if he were here? But He will never come back.
Layla never intended to return to his world. Now fate is forcing them back together. When her daughter is dying and only one man has the bone marrow match that can save her, she has no choice. Zaley Raines. The city's most dangerous ruler. Cold. Untouchable. Lethal. And her daughter's only hope.
He agrees to help—but his eyes linger on her face like he's searching for something. Some buried memory. Some forgotten ghost. He doesn't recognize her.
But Layla knows exactly who he is. Leon. Her first love. Her daughter's father. The boy who promised to save her from despair. The man whose memories were stolen, rewritten, erased.
What he doesn't remember could destroy them both. Something about her pulls at him—familiar, consuming, his.
He wants answers. She can't give them.Not when the truth could shatter everything.
But when fragments of his past begin surfacing—flashes of a redhead in his arms, a promise written in sand, a love he doesn't remember losing—Zaley stops asking questions.
He starts taking answers.
And when he finally remembers?
