Married the Man I Forgot

Elena Cole thought the worst thing her husband could do was stop loving her. She was wrong. When a priceless family heirloom is mysteriously found among her belongings, Elena is accused of theft by the family she has spent years trying to please. But the greatest betrayal comes from her husband, Ethan. Instead of defending her, he calls the police and watches as she is taken away. Then he visits her in jail with an offer: sign the divorce papers, and he will help set her free. Heartbroken and desperate, Elena signs. Ethan walks away laughing. But while Elena believes she has lost everything, a mysterious detective arrives with a question she cannot answer. Who is she really? A DNA test reveals an impossible truth. Elena isn't the penniless woman Ethan and his family believed they could easily discard. She is Elena Whitmore, the long-lost daughter of one of the country's wealthiest families—a missing heiress presumed dead after a terrible accident erased her memories years ago. And there is another surprise waiting for her. Adrian Sterling. Powerful, handsome, and frustratingly determined, Adrian claims their families intended for them to marry. Elena refuses. She may hate Ethan for what he did, but her heart hasn't caught up with the betrayal yet. There is just one problem. Whenever Adrian touches her, something inside Elena remembers him. A voice. A face. A feeling she cannot explain. Then Elena discovers that Ethan didn't simply abandon her. She was framed. Worse, he has already replaced her with another woman. Enough is enough. Elena decides to stop being the woman everyone can hurt. She accepts Adrian's proposal, reclaims her identity as the Whitmore heiress, and steps back into society on the arm of one of the city's most desirable bachelors. When Ethan discovers that the wife he discarded is actually a wealthy heiress, suddenly he wants her back. But Ethan isn't the only person determined to destroy Elena's new marriage. Vanessa Sinclair, Ethan's new woman, has a secret history of her own with Adrian—and she wants him back just as desperately. As jealousy turns into obsession and old enemies join forces, Elena finds herself falling for the husband she originally married for revenge. Adrian's touch feels strangely familiar. His kisses awaken emotions that shouldn't exist between strangers. And behind his eyes is a love that seems much older than their marriage. Because Adrian knows something Elena doesn't. They have loved each other before. And the accident that stole Elena's memories may not have been an accident at all. As pieces of her forgotten past begin returning, Elena is forced to uncover what really happened the night everyone thought she died—and why the man she once called her husband may have built their entire marriage on a lie. She thought she was starting over. In reality, Elena is returning to the love, identity, and life that were stolen from her.
