Forget the Past

Elise C. Davies

Elsbeth wakes with no memory and a stranger insisting he’s the only one she can trust. Erich, sharp-tongued and wounded by his past, thinks using her lost memories will keep his heart protected, but the plan unravels the moment their spark refuses to stay quiet. She challenges him, softens him, and makes him want more than his own defenses allow. As her past creeps closer and his guilt grows heavier, their connection twists into something neither of them can name without feeling a little scared—and a lot tempted. Now, Elsbeth must uncover who she was, while Erich must decide who he’s willing to become if he wants to keep her.

Fake Dating Books

Fake Dating Books start with practical arrangements where two people agree to pretend they're together for mutual benefit. Maybe she needs a date to her ex's wedding or he needs to convince his family he's settled down. The fake relationship creates natural tension as characters navigate public displays of affection while trying to keep their hearts out of it. Chemistry builds through stolen glances and accidental touches that feel too real to ignore. When the charade ends, both must decide if what they built was worth making permanent. Find your next favorite story where pretend love becomes the real deal....
