Rafael de Luca has been trying to get on with his life after surviving a near fatal plane crash four months ago. He's left with one reminder of that crash, the selective amnesia that has left him with a memory gap of the four weeks prior to the accident. So it isn't any surprise when he doesn't recognize the dark haired beauty who comes up to him at a party and then punches him in the face.

Bryony Morgan fell for Rafael hook, line and sinker when he came to Moon Island trying to buy the parcel of land she was selling. She believed him when he said he would be back to the island after taking care of business in New York, but was soon devastated when he never returned. When she ended up pregnant, she decides to go to New York to confront Rafael. The last thing she expected was for him to not recognize her.

This is a story of second chances and using that second chance to become a better person.


Rafael discovers he was a different person in the weeks he spent Bryony. And while he's almost certain he never acted as she says, once he gets to Moon Island with her, he discovers that he likes the person that he is with her. He also discovers that after just a few days, he loves her and wants to have a family with her, even if he can't remember any of their time together.

Bryony second chance (or with Rafe, maybe it's more like third chance) is to grab hold and fight for what she loves. She let Rafe go once without a fight, but when he leaves for New York again she decides that she needs to fight for their chance to be together and not get hung up on promises made that he obviously can't remember. When she's once again devastated by Rafe, she grabs hold of the love he displays to her and doesn't let go.

Who doesn't enjoy a happy ending? This one gave you that and a little smile when Rafe and Bryony finally got it right.
