She woke up erased. He's the only one who remembers her - because he's the one who erased her. Ava Laurent opens her eyes to a life that no longer exists. Strangers live in her apartment. Her best friends stare through her like she's smoke. Every record that ever proved Ava Laurent was real has been wiped clean - birth certificate, bank accounts, even her name. Only one man remembers she was ever here: Lucien Vale. Cold. Lethal. Impossibly hard to walk away from. He tells her he's keeping her safe. He tells her the danger is real. What he doesn't tell her is that he built it. Every answer he gives her hides a better question. Every time his hands find her, she stops asking the ones that matter. And the closer Ava comes to remembering who she was, the more she suspects the man standing guard over her body is the same one who buried her past alive. Some men save you. Lucien Vale just decides when you're allowed to disappear - and when you're allowed to come back.
