A woman without a past…
After a tragic accident left her with no memory, Kate Alexander struggled to fit in with a husband and world that didn’t feel right. She’s had no reason to question what friends and family have told her, not until her husband is suddenly killed and she finds a photo of a young girl in his office. A girl who can’t be anyone but a daughter Kate didn’t know she had.
A man desperate for a reason to live…
Ryan Harrison lost his wife in a plane crash five years ago. To cope with the pain of her loss, he dedicated himself to his job and to raising their daughter. Now a successful pharmaceutical executive, Ryan has everything a man could want—money, fame and power—but he’d give it all up in a heartbeat for just one more day with the woman he still loves.
Two lives about to converge.
As Kate begins to dig into a past she doesn’t remember, evidence leads her to San Francisco and puts her on the path toward Ryan, a man who sees in her the woman he loved and lost. Kate feels a draw to Ryan, one she can’t explain, but is that feeling enough to convince her this is where she’s supposed to be? As Ryan and Kate search for answers, they uncover lies long buried, a passion hotter than either expected and a danger that threatens…even now…when the second chance they’ve both been searching for is finally within reach.

My Thoughts:

This book was something I did not expect it to be. The mystery and puzzling situations, the humor, the love story. It was all very well blended. This is the kind of book that will be nice to see in the big screen. ;)

Kate's husband died in a plane crash, and as Kate rummages through the papers at home, she finds documents that made her question everything she's ever known since her accident two years ago. The docs lead her to San Francisco. Ryan, on the other hand is a business tycoon who lost his wife, Annie,in a plane crash (too) five years ago. And now as series of events lead them to find each other, will they connect the dots and solve this mystery?

Right from the beginning, Elizabeth Naughton did not linger on any side stories but went right head on to the mystery and acion and everything. I like how the story was told fromdifferent perspectives, and that it not only involved two people, but the family as well. Solving the mystery that surrounded Annie's death and now her reappearance steams from an old-sourced revenge. Plus the mysterious deaths surrounding them now is adding to the complicated situation they were in. Not only that, but Kate and Ryan doesn't seem to hit it off.

Where does that leave them? Very fascinating story. :)
