Burke’s Little Secret

He forgot the rules he broke to love her. Now, she’s the only one who can help him remember.

Annabeth Burke is a brilliant Pomona student who prefers the quiet safety of data models and library basements over the loud chaos of the college social scene. She had life entirely figured out—until she was hired to tutor the one guy she was always warned to avoid.

Isaac Callahan is the untouchable, arrogant varsity football captain for Claremont McKenna. He lives by a strict set of rules: no distractions, no drama, and absolutely no dating. But over a summer they could never speak about, Annabeth became his entire world, breaking every boundary he had ever set for himself.

Then, a devastating accident changes everything.

When Isaac wakes up in a hospital bed, a massive chunk of his memory is completely wiped clean. The boy who protected Annabeth in a secluded coastal cove is gone, replaced by the cold, reckless stranger he used to be before they met. He doesn't remember her name, her face, or the private promises they made to each other.

Determined to guard her heart against the boy who no longer recognizes her, Annabeth tries to avoid him at all costs. But the campus grapevine is short, and Isaac's own body seems to be operating on a reckless autopilot—steering him straight back to the girl his mind claims he doesn't know.

When a desperate, impulsive moment on the forty-yard line fractures the fog in Isaac's head, both of them are forced to face a heartbreaking question: Can a love that was written in the heart survive when the mind completely deletes the data?

A captivating, slow-burn collegiate romance filled with high-stakes sports drama, deep-seated secrets, and the powerful battle between a forgotten past and an undeniable destiny.
