though i suspected early on that i was onto solving the mystery, lisa jackson threw in enough twists and turns to make me want to continue quickly turning the pages until the very end. i enjoyed this book quite a bit and can't wait to read another by this author.

On a darkened highway in the hills above Santa Cruz, a man steps out in front of an approaching car in hopes that the driver will lose control and cause an accident. Her passenger dies immediately, and Marla is barely conscious.

Marla lies in a coma not recognizing the voices of the people in her room. Her husband has remained at her side, but travels to Oregon to ask his estranged brother to return home since his name is the only one she has uttered. Nick has not really been back in the family home since Marla dumped him and took up with his brother Alex 15 years earlier.

When she returns to her home, nothing is familiar. She and her husband have separate rooms and appear to lead separate lives, which she finds curious since they just had a baby. Her daughter does not like her much, and her mother in law simply tolerates her. About the only friendly face in the bunch is nick. Though she does not remember Nick, she finds herself attracted to him, while he seems to both lust and hate her at the same time.

The more Marla learns about herself, the more she dislikes what she finds. As she tries to remember the accident, other memories start to pop up, memories that do not correlate with Marla's life. Could she possibly be someone else? And where does Alex disappear to every night? With Nick's help, she uncovers the truth and finds out that her accident was no accident at all.

The story is light on the mystery and heavy on the romance. Jackson's writing pulls the reader in and keeps you attention until the conclusion.

I don't understand how this book got great stars from other reviewers. This one is an amateur work. I believe that lisa jackson can write better. In this one, her characters were one-dimensional, I mean the cliches one more time! The plot was somehow promising however the end was ridiculous. I felt that page by page it became more and more unrealistic and slow going. In the end my only feeling was dissatisfaction. There were lots of mistakes, after sometime I gave up counting them. Obviously Ms Jackson had not done her work, particulary for post-trauma period. I almost hated the heroine by the end of the book. She was really shallow, without any moral code or ethics. I wanted to ask if an accident can change the character. A person like that can do the same again and again without giving any damn!

Ms Jackson shows the failures of main character "Marla Cahill" throughout the book. I don't want to spoil the book but the character of "real heroin" was worse than her. A combination of sluttishness and greediness. She was calculating and self-seeker. A real opportunist. We learn that she is greedy for money and power, totally covetous. An unpleasant heroin.

I must say that so far I have not been overly impressed.
