Not all memories are meant to come back.
But Briar Avery’s did.
In fragments.
In dreams.
In the way a stranger’s eyes lingered on her like he was looking at someone he’d already lost once before.
When Briar inherits a gallery on Occidental Avenue, she thinks she’s being given a future.
She doesn’t realize she’s being pulled back into her past.
Into a family that deals in power, silence, and control.
Into a life she can’t escape.
Into a love that refuses to die.
Briar remembers fragments.
Crosby remembers feelings he can’t explain.
A past just out of reach.
A love that never really left.
The problem is—
someone is very invested in keeping it that way.
Because the moment Briar remembers the truth about her family, her life, and the boy who never really let her go,
she might remember something far more dangerous—
why they needed her to forget.
