About the book
For Natalia Indrisi, the nightmare began when she woke from unconsciousness. She couldn't remember her accident, nor the man claiming to be her fiance. Worst of all, she couldn't remember the baby whose arrival was only a few months away. To Matt Hardinge, everything seemed possible once Natalia stirred and opened her eyes. Now he could make a life for her and the child. But there were things she couldn't remember - shouldn't remember. Yet the more he strove to protect her from the past, the more he endangered his dreams for their future.
