He’s the one she can’t remember, she’s the one he can’t forget...
Tossed overboard, Ava Adams had been left for dead, drifting at sea. But security specialist Faisal Al-Nassar was determined to find her. He owed her father a great debt and had never forgotten the connection he and Ava had once shared. Yet after rescuing Ava he discovered she barely remembered him.
Amnesia had left Ava uncertain of who had tried to kill her. She did know, however, that Faisal was a man she could trust. The sheik’s embrace was familiar and enticing...and possibly even more dangerous. How could she succumb to feelings for her protector when what she didn’t know could get them both killed?
“Ava, it’s me, Faisal.”
She hadn’t heard right and yet she had. The voice, the words, even the shoes. It all came together. All of it was familiar. The fear fell away. She relaxed in his arms, her heart pounding a zillion times an hour.
“If I let you go, promise me you won’t run,” he said.
“It’s a mistake to be here with me.”
His arm eased and she slid down, landing on her feet and turning to face him.
The look he gave her was both intimidating and full of concern. “You could have died, running the way you did.”
“But I didn’t,” she said obstinately as if her earlier fears had been based on nothing but her imagination. “It was a mistake to follow me,” she repeated, for he hadn’t responded the first time she’d said it. “Fai,” she whispered. “You need to get out of here. Trust me.”
“We’ll get out of here together. It’s what I do, protect.”

“Son of a...”
The broken expletive was followed by a bang that seemed to echo through the bowels of the yacht.
Ava Adams’s eyelids fluttered. Fitfully, she turned once, then twice. The yacht shifted and rocked in the waves. It had been a late night yesterday and the day before, not to mention the fact that this trip had been
