About the book
She must not lose him a second time!
Doctors had ordered Zoe Winthrop not to try to see Ross Lyneham. His amnesia following the accident had robbed him of all memory of her. But Zoe was compelled to find out if there was still a chance for happiness.
She longed to tell him who she was and what they had once meant to each other. Yet she dared not, lest he discover that the woman in his past whose cruel betrayal caused his deep distrust of women was Zoe, herself.
Surely there must be some way out of their situation!
