The One You Can't Forget

An emotional contemporary romance from New York Times and USA Today bestseller Roni Loren primed for TikTok's "books that make you ugly cry" lists.

The world knows Rebecca Lindt as a survivor. Austin, TX knows her as a successful divorce attorney. But most days, she just feels like an imposter. Pretending she’s okay. Pretending she’s moved on. Pretending she doesn’t have a secret that eats her up inside. But nothing can change the past, so she spends her days working long hours and ignoring her nonexistent love life. As long as she doesn’t slow down, she doesn’t have to remember what happened years ago.

Wes Garrett is trying to get back on his feet after losing his dream restaurant, his money, and half his damn mind in a vicious divorce where he was wrongly accused. He’s sober now, working as a culinary arts teacher at an alternative school, trying to save up money to buy a food truck and own his own place again. But when he intervenes in a mugging late one night and finds he’s saved Rebecca Lindt, the divorce attorney who helped his ex-wife, his simple life gets a lot more complicated.

Rebecca offers to invest in his food truck as a charity project for the school, and he offers her a way to make amends by having her help with his students. But as they work together, there’s more heating up than the kitchen. Neither intends for this to be anything more than a fling, but when the project funding is threatened and Rebecca’s secret is at risk, both discover they could lose more than they thought, including what they never realized they needed: each other.
