Zac knows that if he follows his heart he’ll win back the love of his life—but if Lucy’s memory returns, his would-be bride might say goodbye forever. Now a Hallmark Original movie!
She only remembers loving him. But he can’t forget the way she left.
Lucy Lovett can’t remember the last seven months of her life. She doesn’t remember leaving her fiancé Zac Callahan weeks before their wedding or moving to Portland, Maine. And she sure doesn’t remember getting engaged to another man. All she remembers is loving Zac more than life itself.
Zac was just beginning to get his life back on track after Lucy left him with no explanation. And now she’s back—vulnerable, homeless, and still in love with him. Has he been given a second chance with the only woman who stirs his passion and haunts his dreams?
Lucy knows she must unlock those missing months and discover why she threw everything away.

This is what happened to Lucy, and a story of can true love survive what has happened. She doesn't remember moving to Portland, Maine, becoming engaged to someone else. All she remembers is loving Zac ,more than life itself. Will Zac be there to help her pick up the pieces ? She is homeless, vulnerable, relying on the love she has for him, that he will help.
A beautiful story, of how high the stakes are, can one forgive, and rebuild the love they had. Another winner for Denise Hunter. You will love meeting Lucy and Zac, and solving the mystery of those seven months.
Given book by Thomas Nelson- Fiction Guild for my honest opinion of which I have given.
Too predictable
The beginning of the book screw me in, especially the Lucy character. But towards middle and end it go too predictable. Easy to guess the final outcome.
Love
I love Denise Hunter's books. I would give her 10 stars if I could. This book was no exception. It reeled me in from the very beginning.
