About the book

Lauren woke up in the hospital with a sense of confusion, realizing she had lost the memories of the past four months. She found herself in New Hampshire, considering giving up her dream job in the city for a job at a rustic resort. What puzzled her even more was how Jonah, her former nemesis, had now become her loving boyfriend.

Jonah was devastated to see Lauren not remembering their summer together. Determined to help her recall their special bond, he stood by her side as she fulfilled her commitments at the resort. However, Lauren seemed to resist remembering their love and the impact it had on her career choices. She wanted to erase the memories of their time together and move on without him.

As Lauren settled back into her routine at the resort with Jonah, she felt a sense of relief that her memories had not returned. She remained firm in her decision to pursue her urban aspirations. But as the seasons changed, she started to catch glimpses of the Jonah she had forgotten. Will she be able to resist his patient and enduring love? Or will her heart take a leap of faith on its own?

This cozy and heartwarming small-town romance follows the complicated journey of a big-city girl and her resort co-worker. Love may be complicated, but the hope for a happy ending remains strong in this delightful story.
