A second-chance contemporary romance about childhood sweethearts Kierra and Gabriel, torn apart after a devastating accident that wipes Gabriel's memory of their relationship. Two decades later they reunite when Gabriel, now an architect, is hired by Kierra's controlling husband, forcing the former couple into close proximity as old feelings resurface. Told in alternating past-and-present timelines, the story unpacks guilt, grief, and the fallout of an abusive marriage as Kierra fights to protect her stepdaughter while reckoning with the love she never fully let go of. It's an emotional, angst-heavy romance that builds toward a hard-won reunion.
