Series: Southern Nights: Enigma #5
Publication date: December 30th, 2021
Synopsis:
She has no memory of her life before him--or of the danger that threatens her now.
Her name is Rae. At least, that's what the hottie with the seraing hazel eyes and the magnificent body tells her. Saint Solorio, the man she was living with before a car ran her down and she lost all memory of who she is--and who is trying to kill her.
Now she needs his help. His protection. But she won't let him get through her guard again. That's a mistake she doesn't dare repeat when anyone around her could be the enemy.
Rae knocked Saint off his barstool the first time he spotted her across a crowded room. When she asked him to take her home, he'd growled his acceptance despite knowing a one-night stand wasn't all he wanted. Not with this woman. Too bad the name she'd given him wasn't hers. And even worse, he is forced to lie to keep her with him.
Now Saint is racing to discover the past of the woman he wants for his own, and uncover the threat that could take her away from him--and also take her life.

Excerpt
"Who the hell is Rae?"
Saint threw a cautious glance toward the hospital bed. "Why do you keep asking me that? She is Rae."
King straightened away from the wall. "They keep asking because Rae can't remember," he said quietly. Saint jerked around to face him, alarm bells sounding in his head. "She has amnesia, Saint. She doesn't know her name."
"What?" He understood the words, but somehow their meaning got lost between his ears and his brain. Or maybe that was his chest, because his heart was thundering so loud he couldn't think straight. "She... she..." His head swiveled on his shoulders without his conscious command, staring now at Rae huddled in that bed. "What?"
Rae's gaze dropped to her lap, tracked to Leah and Remi, back to her lap. He was making her uncomfortable, he knew, but he couldn't turn off the laser focus after days of searching so hard for this woman, of building up their reunion in his mind and imagining exactly what she would do and say when he saw her again. Still, he'd never imagined that she not only wouldn't want him here, but that she wouldn't remember him. Remember them, together.
A strangled groan left him.
"You know her," Remi said. A statement, and a harsh one at that.
Saint choked off a laugh that rose out of nowhere. He definitely knew her.
Get a grip, asshole.
"We--"
The words he'd been about to speak turned to dust in his mouth as he stared at the man across the room. He took in the dark stare, the resolve. The arrogance. Well-earned, Saint knew. This man's family would be formidable opponents, and right now they appeared to have more involvement, more right to Rae than he had. It didn't matter that he and Rae had slept together--they barely knew each other. He hadn't known enough to find her when someone had tried to murder her.
He thought back over the past week, the days and nights of worry. Of hunger. He needed Rae in his life. Needed to be the one to protect her. No matter how involved Remi and Leah were, they didn't care about her the way he did. They couldn't.
He wouldn't let them.
He squared his shoulders. "Rae is my girlfriend."
