Cheyenne-

I'm in love with my best friend. Not that he knows. We spend enough time together to be a couple without the added benefits. So when Sean gets hurt bull riding and can't remember me, what's a girl to do?

Lie, of course. 

This is my one chance to see what life would be like if I belonged to him and he belonged to me. 

No regrets. 

Well maybe one…

 

Sean-

There's all these pictures and videos of us, teasing and loving on one another. I may not remember her, but I can feel it deep in my soul that Cheyenne is special to me and I'll fight to get those memories back as we make new ones, 

together. 

Until I realize the woman I love most in the world tricked me…

Can we work through the lies once my memory comes back or will I never be able to trust her again?
