Remember Me Now

When the beautiful new bartender at Kelly's Pub leaves Nik short of breath, he won't back down from something he knows they both want. Their chemistry is undeniable, but Lisa promised not to put herself in a position to be destroyed again.

An unfortunate accident leaves Lisa with memory loss and she has to relive the excruciating pain of losing her husband. Months pass with Lisa withdrawing from her current life, including Nik. She denies the unfamiliar feelings he awakened in her, and spirals back into destruction. Nik won't let the woman he loves torture herself anymore. Even if she doesn't know it, Lisa is a target Nik refuses to let out of his sights.

“God, I miss you.” He crowds me into the bar top, and I lick my lips. His eyes dart to them and he cups my face with both of his hands then runs a thumb across the wetness. “Damn, baby. Hurry up and remember me.”

“What do you miss?”

“Everything. I miss your attitude and the stupid games you’d play to try and challenge me. I miss the soft smiles you’d give me when you thought no one was looking. I miss being able to touch you. I miss the rare occasion when you’d actually let me in. Knowing I had even a small piece of you was enough for me to fight for us because it was the most real thing I’d ever had in my life and I wanted more of it. I wanted more of you.” He leans forward and rests his forehead against mine. “I want you.”

My throat tightens, and I put my hands on his chest and pull him closer before I push him away. Shit, shit, shit. I loved him. “I wish I remembered that much. But honestly, the only thing I think of when I think of you is a good lay.”
