USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa brings you a hauntingly-tender, slow-burn romance full of broken promises, buried secrets, and a love that always endures.
I thought I buried him with the rest of my past. The secrets. The ache. The night everything fell apart.
But now Keir Timberbridge—the traitor, the boy I once loved more than life—is back. Barely alive. In my care. With no memory of who I am or what he did to me.
I should walk away. Hell, I tried. But I’m the only one who can keep him hidden, keep him alive. This town still thinks I’m the girl who let him go. No one knows the truth—about the letters or what it cost me to survive.
Now we’re playing house in the ruins of what we once were: me, a doctor with too many scars, and him, the man who vanished without a goodbye. We sleep in separate rooms. Share meals like strangers. And every time I look at him, I remember the boy who made promises at midnight... and the man who shattered them by morning.
Because loving Keir Timberbridge was always going to destroy me.
And I might let it again.

MY REVIEW
Simone never thought she'd be back in this ridiculous small town, but the people she owes have sent her here. Apparently they need her medical skills here. She's been keeping her head down, ignoring the gossip, the unkind words thrown her way, just trying to serve the town until she can leave. Then she's called out to an accident and sees the face she never thought she'd see again - her ex, the boy (now man) who ghosted her in her most vulnerable time of need. She has to attend to his injuries, take him into her home even when it's apparent he doesn't remember her or how he broke her heart. She's not sure her heart can take all this forced proximity, whether he remembers her or not.
Keir was just a kid when he left, when he HAD to leave. He was in no shape to be there for Simone, even though she needed him and he didn't know it. Now he's back and has no memory of why he's here, in the condition he's in. And then when he does remember? His first and only love is right in front of him, but she's understandably wary. There's a world of pain and secrets between them, looming so large they're not sure they can get past them.
Oh my God...my heart! Simone and Keir's story is brutally emotional, at times really painful to read, even more painful to see just how broken they both were, especially Keir. Theirs is a slow, slow burn, to the point of glacially slow, but it was necessary, so as to give them time to heal before coming together. Sometimes slow burn is too slow burn for my tastes, but here I didn't mind, as the emotional part of their relationship is the heart of them, and needed to be focused on more than their very obvious chemistry. As is with the Timberbridge world, there's an over-arching mystery and suspense, and it serves as, if not the backbone, then the background to this heartfelt second chance story of healing, heartbreak, and love.
