Lucien Ashford has spent thirteen years making sure he never falls in love. In his family, love comes with a terrible price—a hereditary curse that slowly steals every memory of the person they cherish most. The only way to survive is to never let anyone close.

Ezra has lived his entire life as a professional memory thief, trained to steal secrets hidden deep within people's minds. His newest assignment seems simple: infiltrate Lucien's life and recover a mysterious memory known only as an Echo.

But the deeper Ezra digs, the more he realizes someone buried far more than memories inside Lucien's mind. A forgotten conspiracy, a decades-old secret, and a curse powerful enough to rewrite lives are beginning to awaken.

As dangerous enemies close in, Lucien and Ezra are forced into an uneasy alliance that slowly becomes something neither of them can control. Yet every heartbeat they share brings Lucien one step closer to forgetting the man he's beginning to love.

When love itself is the enemy, how do you hold on to someone your own heart is destined to erase?
