Snapdragons

When Rhea arrives in Miami, she has nothing to start her life over, not even her memories. The past five years have disappeared, erased by her own magic. Or at least, that's what the letter says—the letter that claims vampires killed everyone she cared for—the letter written in her own hand and signed with her name.

Clinging to knowledge of magic she doesn't remember acquiring, she finds a job, a place to live, and tries to rebuild her life. The sudden reappearance of Peter, her first crush, brings back joy in her new existence. He also brings back vampires, in the form of his long-time lover Kaelin.

Can Rhea truly live again with part of her past lost to her, or is Peter right when he says she's strong enough to get her memories back—and see her world shattered again?
