Becca Bennett was set to marry the man she loved up until her fiancé vanished without warning. The loss was devastating and it took everything she had to keep going, so when he suddenly returns with a story that's hard to swallow, she isn't sure if she can open her heart to him again.
Garrett Casner knew the moment he met Becca, she was the one woman he was going to love forever. He never expected to get injured during a routine copper deposit and wake up with no memory of his previous life. When he finally does remember, he knows he must do everything to remind Becca why they belong together. The only problem is, his arch enemy wants to keep them apart so he can take Becca for himself.
Will Garrett prove to Becca he's hers for keeps? Will Becca finally walk down the aisle? And what will happen when the truth comes out about why Garrett really disappeared?
Read an excerpt:
“Becca, wait, don’t go,” Garrett pleaded, rushing after her. Once he caught up to her, he reached out to stop her from heading up the steps of the church. He pulled her around to face him, resisting the urge to gather her into his arms and kiss every inch of her face. Instead, he blurted out, “You’re right; I’m sorry. I have no right to judge anything you’ve done while I’ve been away.”
“You keep saying you’ve been away, like you were just making a routine delivery to Yuma. That’s not what happened.” Becca yanked free and glared at him. “I was worried sick about you until I found out what you did. You’ve been gone for weeks, too afraid to come back here because you knew the sheriff would arrest you. You missed our wedding, and what’s more, you stole from my family’s mine.”
Garrett shook his head back and forth vehemently, hating that she thought he would ever do such a thing. “That isn’t what happened, Becca. I was attacked in Yuma and the deposit was taken. Someone stopped them from killing me and took me to the hospital. When I woke up there, I didn’t know who I was. I had no memories. All I had was my locket with your picture, but even your photo didn’t help me remember anything about my past. I looked at your picture every day, trying to will myself to remember who you were. I knew in my heart you were important to me. At the core of me, I knew I loved you, but I couldn’t remember anything more than that.”
“That’s a really good story, Garrett, except if it were true, how did you end up back here? How come you remember me now and were able to find me?” she asked in an accusing tone as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Garrett was doing his best to stay calm and not react to the way she was responding to the truth. He loved Becca and he needed her to understand what happened to him and why. “I slipped and fell, bumping my head a second time. When I woke up after that, my memories came back. I knew what I had left behind, and who and what I needed to get back to. The problem was, I was too weak to do it, so I sent a telegram to you, telling you what happened. The nurse told me you sent a message back telling me to leave you alone. I thought about honoring your request, but I love you too much to not at least come here in person and see if you would change your mind.”
“What telegram? I never received a telegram,” Becca stated with confusion, her tone softening as her arms dropped to her side.
“I had the nurse wire one the very day my memories came back. I can’t believe you didn’t receive it,” Garrett stated with perplexity as he rushed his hand through his blond hair. What could have happened to his telegram? Did the location get mixed up? It would make more sense than Becca suddenly not wanting to be with him anymore. It was stupid of him to believe that Becca would have given up on what they shared that easy. “I would have come home sooner, but my recovery took much longer than I had hoped it would. As soon as I could, I came back here to you.”
“It sounds like your injuries were severe.” Becca stretched out and gently ran her fingers along the edge of twin scars on his right temple. “The recovery must have been painful.”
Garrett lifted his hand up and placed it over hers, squeezing it with affection. “Nothing was as painful as being separated from you. I missed you every moment we were apart.”
