Sometimes the simplest choice has the power to change your life.
Chase
Ten years ago, I turned a hard decision into a simple one. I allowed others to decide my future . . . then I lost the best thing that ever happened to me. I let go of the girl I loved in exchange for a life I was told I wanted.
Then one day I woke up with no recollection of my reality and instead I believed my life had turned out how I had once dared to imagine. Now everyone is waiting for me to remember the day I ruined my future as I struggle to recall a life without the person I so carelessly tossed away.
Somehow, I was gifted a second chance with the woman I love, and I’m going to fight like hell to keep her.
Jordan
Your brain has a funny way of convincing you what is real and what is not; even if your heart never lets you forget the truth. After Chase Adams broke my heart, my life moved forward, even though the light I once felt had extinguished. Then I received an unexpected phone call that changed everything.
Every day we make choices, but most of the time they don’t affect the rest of our lives. I wanted to love again. I wanted to trust the gift I was given, but every choice has consequences. Now I have to decide to let go of the past for the sake of my future. . . or risk living with regret.

Excerpt
Tears streak down my face while I wonder what I should say. I don’t want to think of Chase suffering but I’m not sure I’m strong enough to handle this. Because, hell ...I’m being asked to save the man responsible for destroying me. And if I’m not careful, history is liable to repeat itself. Only this time, I know in advance that I’m about to sacrifice more than my heart can handle.
Instead of answering Donna, I turn to Dr. Wallace. “What exactly do you want from me?” I quickly brush away my tears, hoping no one else witnessed them.
“Only what you’re willing to give, Jordan. I’m not up to date on the history you share with Chase, but it’s evident that being here is hard on you.” His voice is filled with compassion.
I was hoping he’d act like an ass like Steve so I’d feel justified in my choice to leave. Instead, he acts concerned about me.
Can I really agree to do this? Can I put my life on hold to help Chase? But the bigger question is: Can I go back to New York with this on my conscience? Go back to living my life wondering and worrying about him even if he isn’t my burden to carry? And that’s the problem ...I don’t think I can. Like it or not, I’m involved and from what Dr. Wallace has said, my involvement plays a large role in his recovery.
I square my shoulders and clear my throat. “One week. I’ll stay and help Chase work out his memory, but I have a life back in New York and I’m not willing to put my life on hold indefinitely. One week, that’s all I’m willing to give.”
Donna sags with relief as Dr. Wallace speaks up. “Chase might not be able to appreciate what you’re doing for him at the moment, Ms. Taylor, but when he does, I know he’ll be very grateful.”
God, I hope he’s right. I can’t help wondering how grateful he’s going to be when I get on an airplane next week and disappear from his life.
Review
5 stars
I am in love with this book!! There's so many good and bad things that
happen in here. We'll start with the good: I'll start with Jordan. I
absolutely love her. She is a spitfire but has a soft side as well. She
had a rough start after the breakup but managed to work her way up to
the job she was destined to have. She holds her own against so many
people but there's something she's missing and that's Chase. A phone
call changes everything but yet puts a plan into motion. Chase or as I
like to call him, living in someone else's life, has only known
football. That changes when he meets Jordan in high school. They become
close but his slimy jerk of father has different plans... Don't get me
started on that man. Anyway, football becomes life for Chase until he
takes one to many hits to the head. Chase is able to basically start
over with a clean slate, he tells his dad off, fights for his mom and
Jordan and has a career he chose himself. Things are looking up for him.
Here is the bad of the book and that will be mostly his dad and Jordan's best friend Lacey. I'll start with Lacey, I know that she's only looking B***h to me. She was crass and always pushing guys on Jordan, when she only wanted one man. She just couldn't let it go and accept it. That's my rant on her.. Chase's dad...Total control freak, huge giant jerkface who can't accept reality. He lives in his own world of football and doesn't realize there's more to life besides that. I'm so glad Chase finally stood up to him and told him where to go.. I don't want to say this book will change your life but it will definite change the way you see love. The way you see how some people sacrifice everything to be with the ones they loved. I absolutely loved this book!! I'll recommend it to everyone I know!
