The Girl Who Wasn't Supposed to RememberEvery night at exactly 3:17 a.m., Elara Vale wakes from the same nightmare.A dark room. A silver watch frozen at 3:17. A man's voice whispering her name.And a pair of grey eyes looking at her as though he has loved her for a lifetime.The problem?Elara has never met him.At twenty, Elara has built a quiet life for herself, working at a private hospital and trying to ignore the strange memories that have begun invading her dreams. She tells herself they're nothing more than nightmares—until the mysterious man from her dreams walks into the hospital one ordinary morning.Kael Arden.Twenty-eight, powerful, feared, and impossibly wealthy, Kael is the founder of one of the world's fastest-growing medical technology companies. The moment he sees Elara, the color drains from his face.Then he says the words that turn her world upside down:"You finally remembered me."Elara has no idea who he is.But Kael knows her favorite song. He knows about the scar near her collarbone. He knows the nickname her late mother used to call her. Most frightening of all, he knows exactly what happens every night at 3:17.When Elara demands answers, Kael refuses to tell her the truth.Instead, he tells her to stay away from him.But the more she tries to forget Kael, the stronger her memories become.She begins remembering a life she doesn't recognize—a life where she and Kael were deeply connected. A life filled with love, secrets, betrayal, and a tragedy neither of them survived unchanged.Then Elara discovers an old silver ring she has worn for years.It belongs to Kael.And the handwriting engraved inside it is hers.As fragments of her past return, Elara realizes something terrifying: her memories weren't lost by accident.Someone erased them.And the person who knows how to bring them back is the same man who is desperately trying to stop her from remembering.Kael claims he erased her memories to protect her.Elara doesn't believe him.Because buried inside her forgotten past is a sentence she once wrote herself:"If I ever remember him, people will die."Now someone is watching her.Someone who knows that Elara's memories are returning.Someone who will do anything to make sure she never remembers the night everything changed.And when Elara finally discovers why she chose to forget Kael, she will face the most painful question of her life:If the man she loves is the reason she lost her past...can she ever trust him with her future?Some memories are meant to be forgotten.But some secrets refuse to stay buried.
