Description: Marissa Rogers never wanted to be an alpha; beta suited her just fine. Taking charge without taking credit had always paid off: vaulting her to senior editor at a glossy magazine; keeping the peace with her critical, weight-obsessed mother; and enjoying the benefits of being best friends with gorgeous, charismatic, absolutely alpha Julia Ferrar. When Julia gets hit by a cab, she survives with minor obvious injuries, but brain damage steals her memory and alters her personality, possibly forever. As Julia struggles to regain her memory, Marissa's own equilibrium is shaken. This is a story about the power of friendship, the memories and myths that hold us back, and the delicate balance between forgiving and forgetting.
