Description from the publisher:

One night of passion leaves Belle Brennan longing for her Mr. Mysterious....



An undercover operative, Cain Dempsey leaves the woman he loves in order to protect her.  A case he's working on takes a turn for the worst leaving him no choice but to return to her for aide.  Belle is the one person he can trust, even if she has every right to be angry with him.



Taking an impromptu vacation at her family's lake house, Belle is surprised to find Cain at the back door.  He's injured, surly, and every bit as gorgeous as she remembers.  Lucky for him she's a doctor and doesn't hold a grudge.



Can they survive the threats surrounding them long enough to rekindle their growing passion, or will Cain's dangerous life destroy them forever?



Previously published as Don't Happen Twice.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

BETTER AS A MEMORY is the second book in the Begin Again series.  Each is a stand-alone contemporary romance.



At just barely over two hours, this is a quick suspense romance with closed door passion.  There is a lot squeezed in to this short story, but nothing is too rushed.  The characters are properly developed, even with an insta-love trope allowed.



Narration:  Juliana Solo does a beautiful job of providing drama and that “theater of the mind” experience that I love so much.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via getfreeaudiobooks, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
