He woke up with no name, no past—just pain and a stranger’s kindness.
When Matt opens his eyes on the dirt floor of a forgotten shack, he remembers nothing—not the car crash, not his identity, not the betrayal that nearly cost him his life. All he knows is Aria, the quiet young woman who rescued him from the riverbank and gave him shelter despite having almost nothing herself.
In the days that follow, a bond grows. Matt teaches her to read, to fight, to believe in more than survival. Aria teaches him something deeper—how to trust, how to heal. And somewhere between laughter and late-night conversations, she falls in love with the man she never expected.
Then, a sudden blow to the head shatters everything.
Matt’s memories return in a torrent—the crash, his inheritance, and Sabrina, the vengeful ex who orchestrated the tragedy that killed his parents and nearly took him too. As wealth and power come flooding back, he brings Aria into his world of luxury. But love, it turns out, isn’t the only thing that followed him home.
Sabrina is alive. And she’s not done yet.
What follows is a deadly game of deception, greed, and survival. When Aria uncovers a plot to finish what Sabrina started, she refuses to let the past destroy the future they've built. Together, Matt and Aria must confront a darkness that nearly claimed them both.
Because sometimes, forgetting is a gift.
But remembering? That’s how you fight back.
