And then he had to leave.He told her they were each other’s forever and that she was his heart, and she believed him; how could she not when she could feel so deeply that he was hers?He promised he would call soon, that he would come back for her and Kenna promised she would wait. And she did.There are hateful days when she wishes she could forget it all, but most of the time she still longs for him. The memories that haunt her have kept her alone all these years, but they are still much sweeter than they are bitter, and she can’t let go of them yet, but maybe she can start to move on now.She’s the part of his soul he didn’t know was lost.He’s the part of her soul she can’t bear to forget.And maybe, just maybe, the very fate that ripped them apart will finally throw them together again. Dear Reader: By saying ‘maybe’ I mean ‘sure it will': this is a full-blown HEA-guaranteed, cheesy-sweet novella after all and Wyatt & Kenna are just too in love not to find their way into each other’s arms again.This NO-cheating, steamy book has it all and does away with all the unwanted annoyances you don’t ever wanna see in your cute romantic reads.So let’s see what exactly did I throw into this thing: amnesia, hot insta-love all over the place and sweet second chance romance at the same time, a clueless —literally— possessive, growly, big alpha mountain man with a beard —of course!—, a sweet curvy heroine with a heart that needs mending, an unexpected inheritance, soap-opera-quality medical miracles, a quaint, small town in the Rockies as a backdrop, a red-hot passion that will set your kindle on fire and a boatload of babies.
