When the handsome stranger awakens they discover he can’t remember a single thing… Not how he ended up naked and stabbed in the water, nor his own name or his past…
Facing a future she wants to avoid at all cost and an attraction to a stranger she finds hard to deny, she sets up a daring and sensual scheme.
