Four years ago, Natasha Malik woke up in a hospital with no memories of her past. She didn't remember the accident. She didn't remember what happened before it. She didn't even remember the people she had once loved. Since then, Natasha has rebuilt her life from the stories others have told her. She has a loving older brother and a childhood friend turned business partner, and perhaps her biggest headache, Arham. Arham and Natasha have always insisted that they are nothing more than enemies, friends, and business partners. They argue constantly, tease each other endlessly, and somehow always find themselves together. But there is something about their relationship that even Natasha cannot explain. As Natasha begins to settle into the life she has been given, strange pieces of her forgotten past start resurfacing. Memories she cannot explain. Feelings she doesn't understand. Questions no one seems willing to answer. And the more she tries to uncover the truth about what happened four years ago, the more she realizes that the people closest to her may know far more than they have ever told her. Sometimes, forgetting is not the worst thing that can happen. Sometimes, remembering is.
