Carides's Forgotten Wife

Carides's Forgotten Wife
Maisey Yates

Once forbidden, now for bedding!Greek billionaire Leon Carides has it all: wealth, power, notoriety, even a wife – though he’s never touched his convenient, innocent, bride. Then an accident rids this damaged, debauched playboy of his memories…Leon remembers nothing, except his wife’s sparkling blue eyes. Now, the desire he feels for Rose overrides the gaps in his past, making her impossible to resist! But when his sins catch up with him, can Rose forgive the mistakes of the man he once was? Or will Leon lose more than just his memory?

He’s awake.

A rush of relief ran through her that she didn’t want to analyse.

Leon’s eyes opened, and he began to look around the room. “You aren’t a nurse?”

“No,” she said, her heart thundering hard. “I’m Rose.”

He was probably still disoriented. After all, this was Italy, and she was supposed to be at home in Connecticut. She was probably the last person he expected to see.

“Rose?”

“Yes,” she said, starting to feel a little more alarmed.

“I flew to Italy because of your accident.”

“We are in Italy?” He only sounded more confused.

“Yes,” she said. “Where did you think we were?”

He frowned, his dark eyebrows locking together.

“I don’t know.”

“You were in Italy. Seeing to some business.” And probably pleasure, knowing him, but she wasn’t going to add that. “You were leaving a party and a car drifted into your lane and hit you head-on.”

“That is what I feel like,” he said, his voice rough.

“As though I were hit head-on. Though I feel more like I was hit directly by the car. With nothing to buffer it.”

“With how fast you drive, I imagine you might as well have been.”

He frowned. “We know each other?”

She frowned. “Of course we do. I’m your wife.”
