Expected 19 Mar 26
They fell in love once without trying.
Now they have to choose each other on purpose.
Fifteen years ago, Emma fell headfirst into forever with Steven Jones. She put her dreams on hold to chase a life with him, never expecting it to be anything less than perfect. But life happens, people change, and now, with a newborn on her hip and chronic anxiety coiled tight around her, Emma can’t remember the last time they felt like partners.
Steven loves his family enough to break himself for them. He spends his days saving strangers and nights drowning in the exhaustion that follows. He’s stretched thin, working so hard to provide, completely forgetting how to be the husband and dad he swore he’d be. Yet, he knows there’s always a solution, even for his wife.
But when an accident steals fifteen years of memories, Steven wakes up married to a woman he doesn’t recognize and a life he doesn’t remember building. They might be strangers now, but remembering their marriage matters. To him, it isn’t something to fix. To her, it isn’t something to grieve. But for both, it’s something to rediscover.
In the timeline before, they’re falling in love. In the timeline after, they’re learning how to see each other again. Because sometimes loving someone means learning them all over again.
A clean, wholesome, spice-free book. Closed-door romance novel from an interconnected standalone series. Perfect for fans of Katherine Center, Courtney Walsh, Sarah Adams, and Abby Jiminez. Gilmore Girls meets Abbott Elementary vibes.

Review of advance copy received from Author
This is a story that will wreck you.
Then slowly piece you back together.
The "then and now" timeline showed the couple falling in love in two different time periods while not sugarcoating the difficulties of married life with children. Anxiety was a big part of the FMC's story and I found it to be portrayed realistically, and could genuinely feel for her.
My heart broke with their struggles but stitched itself back together with the ending.
When Grayson calls this a "marriage in crisis" she's not kidding.
There was hurt and longing and love. One of my favorite quotes:
"I think I have a crush on my wife." It was just so cute and fit the moment perfectly.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good no spice romance.
A little note: there was swearing in this book but it was very minor and didn't bother me, it was just something I felt needed noting to anyone who may be sensitive.
