Erased, Not Gone: A Suspenseful Sci-Fi Romance Novella

She couldn't remember who she was. He was terrified she would. She woke up strapped to a table with no name, no past, and no idea what she'd done to deserve it. In a near-future world where memory can be erased and identities rebuilt from scratch, Lena Hale is prisoner 450 - wiped clean and released into a society that expects her to start over. Her assigned Guardian, Parker Ward, is steady and warm and knows just a little too much about who she used to be. She's supposed to look forward. He's supposed to keep his distance. >She was starting to feel safe. That was probably the warning sign. When a stranger appears on her doorstep and mentions a jazz bar she's never been to, something inside her responds anyway. Lena begins to suspect the woman she was didn't disappear. She just went quiet. Erased, Not Gone is a standalone slow-burn second chance romantic suspense novella set in a near-future America where rehabilitation means erasure, second chances come with surveillance, and the most dangerous thing Lena can do is remember who she really is.
