Publisher Description

What if you could start over––right at the moment where it all went wrong?

 

Twenty-four years ago, Frankie's marriage ended. Now, her ex-husband—Charley Blackwell, a world-famous photojournalist—has walked through the door as if no time has passed. And for him, it hasn't. Illness has stolen his long-term memory.

 

Once upon a time, Frankie and Charley were the perfect couple—utterly, completely, sickeningly in love. They shared a passion for photography, but where Frankie saw the way the world came together, Charley only saw how the world came apart.  

 

The cards of fate dealt them a hand that broke their marriage. Yet, Charley is the only man Frankie ever truly loved, and in Charley's mind they are right back in that era of complete marital bliss.

 

But Frankie has moved on to a new life, Charley to a new wife. One he doesn't remember at all. Three people trapped in a collision of love, life, and loss.

 

What do you do when you are forgotten? What do you do if you are the one who is remembered?

 

 

From the voice of New York Times bestselling author Lori Handeland, this heart-wrenching but ultimately uplifting novel contains the humor, depth of characterization and fast paced plot lines she is known for while showcasing the author's incredible range.

About Lori Handeland

Lori Handeland is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author with more than 60 published works of fiction to her credit. Her novels, novellas, and short stories span genres from paranormal and urban fantasy to historical romance. After a quarter-century of success and accolades, she began a new chapter in her career. Marking her women’s fiction debut, Just Once (Severn House, January 2019) is a richly layered novel about two women who love the same man, how their lives intertwine, and their journeys of loss, grief, sacrifice, and forgiveness.

While student teaching, Lori started reading a life-changing book, How to Write a Romance and Get It Published. Within its pages. the author, Kathryn Falk, mentioned Romance Writers of America. There was a local chapter; Lori joined it, dived into learning all about the craft and business, and got busy writing a romance novel. With only five pages completed, she entered a contest where the prize was having an editor at Harlequin read her first chapter. She won.

Lori sold her first novel, a western historical romance, in 1993. In the years since then, she has written eleven novels in the popular Nightcreature series, five installments in the Phoenix Chronicles, six works of spicy contemporary romance about the Luchettis, a duet of Shakespeare Undead novels, and many more books. Her fiction has won critical acclaim and coveted awards, including two RITA Awards from Romance Writers of America for Best Paranormal Romance (Blue Moon) and Best Long Contemporary Category Romance (The Mommy Quest), a Romantic Times Award for Best Harlequin Superromance (A Soldier’s Quest), and a National Reader’s Choice Award for Best Paranormal (Hunter’s Moon).

Lori Handeland lives in Southern Wisconsin with her husband. In between writing and reading, she enjoys long walks with their rescue mutt, Arnold, and occasional visits from her two grown sons and her perfectly adorable grandson.
