Description:
This omnibus edition includes all three full-length novels from the USA Today Bestselling Here and Now series: Lost in Me, Fall to You, and All for This. This sexy amnesia love triangle is intended for mature readers.
Even when the mind can’t remember, the heart can’t forget…
When an injury leaves Hanna Thompson without her last year of memories, she wakes to a perfect life—right down to an engagement ring from her unrequited love, Max Hallowell. But each day makes her question if she has the life she always wanted or if she’s been living a lie. As she searches for answers, every path leads to rocker Nate Crane. And Nate wants her for himself.
“Sexy, twisty and utterly addictive…Clear your schedule. An amazing read!” –NYT Bestselling Author Kendall Ryan
EXCERPT
When Asher leaves the stage, Nate stays behind, strumming
chords to a song I don’t recognize. He lifts his gaze. For five painful beats
of my heart, our eyes lock. There’s so much in his eyes. Pain, anger,
frustration. I see it all there before he refocuses on his fingers and starts
to croon the lonely lyrics of his song.
I’m nobody’s hero,
baby. Try not to fall too deep.
I’m nobody’s angel,
love, but you were crying in your sleep.
I’m useless, empty,
nothing, sugar. Wait around and then you’ll see.
You thought you’d find
your answers, but now you’re lost in me.
The words tap into me, loosening something in my chest until
I feel like anyone looking at me can see my confusion and the inexplicable
aching of my heart.
And when he lifts his head and watches me as he sings the
last verse of his song, I don’t move. I don’t hide from those eyes that know
too much. I don’t run from that face that could destroy my whole world. I stand
transfixed, the words rolling through my veins like they’re part of my blood.
After he strums the final chords, he puts down his guitar
and leaves the stage without explanation or promise to return.
My feet are following him before I’ve decided what to do. He
heads up the stairs and out back, through the French doors and onto the patio,
where he keeps going until he hits the path in front of the river.
He’s trying to escape me. I should be happy, right? The past
can stay in the past, and whatever mistake I made with this rocker can be left
behind with it. But I can’t let him walk away without answers.
“Stop!” I rush down to the river, my heels sinking into the
rain-softened earth. “Who are you?”
He turns slowly, the confusion back on his face. “Is that
supposed to be funny? Pretending there was nothing between us wasn’t enough?
You need to pretend you don’t even know who I am?”
“I—” Oh my God. The hurt in his eyes. “I don’t know who you are,” I say
carefully. “But maybe I should? I was injured and I have amnesia, so I honestly
don’t know you.”
And if that doesn’t sound like a line from a Lifetime movie,
I’m not sure what does.
“Amnesia? You’re kidding me.”
“I’m not.” He starts toward me, and I hold out a hand to
stop him. “I’d prefer you to stay over there. Please.”
He pulls back, watching me. “Amnesia,” he repeats.
“Yeah.”
“You don’t know who I am.” It’s not a question—more a realization.
“I don’t know who you are or why you would crawl into my bed
in the middle of the night. I don’t understand why—” My breath catches and fat,
hot tears spill onto my cheeks. Suddenly this is just all too much. “I don’t
understand,” I repeat, and leave it at that.
“You don’t remember anything? Do you know who you are?”
“Yeah. I remember everything up until about a year ago, but
the last eleven months are just…gone.”
He drags a hand through his hair, and I’m struck again by
how gorgeous he is. Dark messy hair, dark intense eyes. His T-shirt clings to
his sculpted arms. Tattoos peek out from the sleeves. No matter how hard I
look, I can’t remember being with him. So why do I have this feeling in my
chest like my heart knows something I don’t?
“Do I know you?” I ask.
He lets out a huff and stares at the starlit sky. “Yeah. You
do.” When he drops his gaze back to meet mine, his eyes are moist with unshed
tears. “I’m the idiot who’s in love with you.”
In love with me? “But I’m engaged.”
“I saw that,” he whispers, his gaze flicking back to my
hand. “Can I ask? Did that happen before or after the amnesia?”
“Before.”
“Fuck.” The word isn’t screamed or thrown like a stone. He
breathes it—exhaling the sound like so much disappointment.
To me, Nate’s a stranger, but to him, I’m…what?
We just stare at each other, him looking heartbroken and
angry, me trying to piece it all together in my head and make some sense of
this. I’m engaged to Max Hallowell. I’m not the kind of girl who would get
engaged to one guy when she’s been sleeping with another.
Am I?
