About this ebook

Malcolm McKenzie will never forget that night in New York when he put Ava Galvan in a taxi following a heated argument, and the Argentine beauty was involved in an horrific accident—one that ended her career as an acclaimed soloist with the Manhattan Ballet, and impaired her memory and ability to live an independent life.

The Scottish tycoon and philanthropist lives with his guilt, and another consequence: Ava was pregnant with his child the night of the accident. Ever since that night, Malcom has raised Jack as a single father.

But Ava is stronger now, and Jack wants his mommy to come home. Malcolm has never stopped wanting her and he’s determined to do whatever it takes to claim Ava—with or without her consent.

Ratings and reviews

This story is both heartwrenching and uplifting. Ava Galvan struggles to see herself as more than a flawed woman after suffering devastating brain and physical injuries in a car accident a few years before. Her husband, Malcolm, strives to convince her that she is needed by her son and him. Ava feels the physical chemistry between them but can she rediscover the lief and love she had befoer the accident. Great dramatic but steamy romance by Jane Porter!

Ava Galvan worked hard for her success in life. In one instant it all changed. Malcolm Makenzie can't forget the argument they had just before he sent Ava home in a taxi, only to receive a call form the hospital that she was clinging to life after an accident...and, she was also pregnant. Their son was born healthy, but her injuries left her in pain, unable to dance, and with a brain injury that affected her short-term memory. After spending time together to make it work, one mistake sends Ava back to New York to try and reclaim her life. Malcolm lets her think he has let her go, while arranging for her job, apartment, and driver to keep an eye on her. Now Jack wants his mother back, and Malcolm wants his wife back, despite her not remembering their wedding day. Ava is stronger, but still doesn't feel she should be in her son's life, not when she can't remember things that happened from one day to the next without her notebook. Malcolm convinces her to take a vacation with him, and sets out to prove she can be a wife and mother. Malcolm made mistakes with Ava, and Ava had so much to overcome, but when they took it one day at a time, they started to sort through the things that kept them apart, Ava started to believe in a future that includes her family. I loved the characters and how they were developed. My heart broke over and over for Ava and all she lost after her accident. The more time we spent with Malcolm, the more human he became and the more I understood him. This was a novella, and a quick read, easy to get into, and hard to put down until I was done. The story was well-written and I enjoyed it. **I received an Advanced Reader's Copy via NetGalley from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.***

A quick story that I could not put down. How your life changes in an instant. Ava had a wonderful life as a ballerina and great love life with Malcolm, an argument will change everything in an instant. Ava now has a short term memory deficit, and now Malcolm will fight for his love to Ava. This is a novella but is packed full of an emotional story and plenty of romance. I highly recommend this book!! I received this book from netgalley for an honest reveiw. Plus as an added bonus you get, Take Me, Cowboy. Copper Mountain Rodeo that takes place in Marietta, Montana. Who can resist a cowboy story.
