It’s
been nearly a decade since Elle Sloan last saw Luke Hutchins. Close
to ten years since she broke up with him over a single phone call,
providing him with little explanation. Since the end of their
relationship, Elle has done everything she could do to move on,
marrying, proceeding forward with her life, almost allowing herself
to completely forget about Luke.

Almost.
Out
of nowhere, Elle receives a phone call from Luke’s mother. Luke has
been in a horrific car accident and, a month later, has just awoken
from a coma. However, instead of celebrating, his family is stunned
to learn that Luke is suffering from amnesia and only remembers his
life as it was before his breakup with Elle. Not wanting to tell Luke
that he and Elle aren’t together anymore for fear it may compromise
his recovery, Elle is asked by Luke’s family to come to the
hospital to see him. Their hope is that she will slowly be able to
jog his memory and cushion the blow.

Guilt-ridden
over how their relationship ended, Elle readily agrees, finding
herself transported back in time with Luke to the life they once
shared and the future they could have had together.

currently still lives there with her husband, two daughters, a
high-strung Lab, and three judgmental cats. When she’s not writing,
Sara enjoys reading, camping, spending time with her family, and
attempting to paint while consuming more amaretto sours than she
cares to admit. She’s also an advocate for melanoma awareness, having
been diagnosed with stage 1b melanoma in 2017.

The early spring sun swiftly set on the horizon behind the splendor of the Allegheny
Mountains, a welcome change from the relatively flat lands of southern Indiana,
where a long drive was bound to put you to sleep. Seeing them in all their splendor,
the remaining ghosts from my past came rushing back to haunt me, reminding me of
the drives Luke and I used to take at my insistence. He’d grown up here, while I had
only been in town long enough to attend—and eventually drop out of—Cogsworth
University after two years. He’d chuckle to himself as I’d gazed awestruck at the
emerald expanses towering around us as far as my eyes could see. Never
condescending of my obviously sheltered life prior to arriving in Roanoke, he’d just
smile whenever I would comment on how his growing up surrounded by such beauty
must have been comparable to waking up in a fairy tale every morning.
And it was here in Roanoke where he was awaiting my arrival, completely unaware
that his heart was destined to be broken by me once again.
