About this ebook

From New York Times bestselling author Lexi Ryan comes a sexy new standalone romance about a woman torn between two men from her past, searching for missing memories that could hold the key to her future.

I’m in love with a man who tried to kill me. At least that’s what they tell me . . .

Six weeks ago, paramedics found me unconscious in my own home. Beaten. Bruised. Hardly breathing. When I woke up, I couldn’t remember the last three years or anything about my life in Jackson Harbor. They tell me my fiancé, Colton McKinley, is on the run for what he did to me. They tell me I’m safer if I stay away. 

 

I don’t care if my memories ever come back. I want nothing to do with those missing years . . . until a sexy stranger with angry eyes shows up on my doorstep and demands I stop ignoring him.

 

Levi Jackson is my fiancé’s best friend, but seeing him sparks something inside me. As the truth unravels in my mind, I know they’re wrong about Colton. My own secrets are far more dangerous than the man I was engaged to.

 

I return to Jackson Harbor to search for answers and find myself running from a faceless boogeyman and seeking refuge in Levi’s arms. And in his bed. 

 

I can’t deny my feelings for Levi. But as the pile of lies between us grows, I realize that sometimes the truth can’t set us free. Sometimes, it’s the very thing that can destroy us. 

Ratings and reviews

4.5 Captivating Stars! This! This is what I love to read! This edgy, forbidden love triangle was suspenseful, and steamy, and held me captive from start to finish. Levi is in love with his best friends girlfriend, Ellie. He always wished he'd met her first, but would be there, to support her, as Colton fought his demons. Ellie can't remember the last 3 years after a horrific attack. But when she sees Levi, her heart tells her what her memory can't, that he is someone she cares deeply for and can depend on. As her memories slowly return, so does her anxiety and fear over the reason for her attack. I loved how expertly Ms. Ryan drew us in with a unique tale that was sweet, sexy, heartbreaking, mysterious and at some points, horrifying. Each facet of this story was cleverly unfolded to keep you turning the pages to discover what was either in store or what had happened in the past. I was always trying to predict what was going to happen next and the twists and turns kept me guessing. I love the Jackson boys! Levi and his family are so loving, loyal, supportive, and so essential in each others lives. Their interactions feel very genuine and honest. I can't get enough of them or this series. I have grown to really care for each of them. This exhilarating, emotional and sexy series is a must read!

My least favorite of the series but 3 stars because come on. He is still a Jackson brother. haha. I think this book is a great bridge to Molly and her story and I LOVE that. So this book was worth a read.

Well, well, well. I never would have suspected that Levi’s story would be like this. I honestly wasn’t sure how this story could play out in a way I was ok with. In the first two books in this series we know that Levi is in love with his best friend, Colton’s girlfriend, Ellie. I couldn’t imagine how their story would end in a way I would be happy with. Dirty, Reckelss love was full of twists and turns and I devoured every word. Lexi Ryan outdid herself with this book. I would say that this book is my favorite in the series and I can’t imagine the following being any better. I love a little suspense with my romance and this story was full of it. Levi was freaking amazing and Ellie was very relatable. I even still like Colton. It was also nice to see how everyone else in Jackson Harbor was scoring. I highly recommend this book and this series to everyone!
