If You Stayed (Standard Edition)

There once was a man who loved me, until he forgot every memory we've ever shared...Gabriel Sinclair would forever be my first. My first best friend, my first kiss, my first love...and my first heartbreak. The accident that nearly took his life ripped the memory of me from his grasp-and for the last decades, I've let the guilt of that one terrible night keep us apart.It took me years to make peace with the fact that he would no longer be in my life, so when he shows up as the architect for my new home, my world's tossed upside down. Now, I'm trapped in a loveless marriage, raising a child, while Gabriel stirs up feelings I thought long buried. It feels like my soul is waking up after years of being in a deep slumber-and my controlling husband will do whatever it takes to keep us apart.I know I should push Gabriel away to protect him from the shadows surrounding me. Yet, I can't deny the hope that blooms whenever he's near-the chance that he might remember me, that we could reclaim the chapters of our story that we've lost.Nothing good could come from us, but I can't help but wonder what would happen if this time...he stayed.There once was a man who loved me... And now he's my only hope for tomorrow.
