Head Over Heels by Lucy Eden
Andrew Banfield has spent the last five years chasing his step-sister Victoria around the world, cleaning up social scandals and legal snags at the behest of his distant and overbearing father in the name of protecting the family. This time, he’s headed to a hospital in Monaco expecting to deal with the fallout of a drunken boating accident the way he’s always dealt with it.
When Andrew arrives to find that Victoria has a case of amnesia, with an uncertain likelihood of regaining her memories, that the hospital staff believe he is her husband and, he discovers more shockingly that the woman of his dreams might have been in front of him all this time.
Known for her signature rom-coms with high drama, sizzling steam, and big heart, Lucy Eden’s Head Over Heels is a Overboard (the 1987 version) retelling with a little Greek Mythology mixed in full of, amnesia, an age gap, a sexy stepbrother, fake marriage, forced proximity, a yorkie named Sarah Jessica Barker and a fire.

The Big One by Honey Lane
The only good thing about being forced by the Syndicate to partner with my two exes on one last heist is the fact that I won’t remember a thing.
I’ll pop one little green pill to temporarily block out my life before I get on the transport ship to head up three-person team tasked with pulling off the Quadra System’s most dangerous theft. Once the job’s complete, I’ll take a yellow pill to permanently erase everything that happens in the next seventy-two hours from my memory. I’ll wake up on a tropical planet paradise finally free from the Syndicate and with more credits than a smuggler like me could ever expect to have. Even better? I won’t have any idea I even saw Adonis and Mira again.
That’s if everything goes according to the Syndicate’s plan.
Which everything always does.
Only a fool would think they could change that and no one is worth the cost of trying–especially not the two people I swore to forget forever.
