Emotional second chance romance as accident erases marriage on rocks 

New York Times Bestselling author, Christina Lauren’s latest unforgettable novel The Romance Revival, one fateful accident erases a troubled marriage from memory and love gets one extraordinary second chance.

Three years ago, Emery Finch did something completely out of character. 

He’s an extrovert who always wanted a family but never even planned to get married. He also charms everyone he meets and like dogs more than people, and always like to dance with every grandma, drunk bridesmaid and adorable flower girl at a wedding. 

When he attended his cousin’s wedding in Las Vegas, his eyes met, smile faltered for just a breath before he turned to the heavily tattooed man he was talking to, said something, and made his way across the room to her, his eyes locked on her as her mind went blank as he said “ I saw you looking over and, I don’t know. Wanted to come meet you.”

She got married to Luca the impossibly charming landscaper she met on one blistering night in Vegas who made her laugh, made her dance, made her feel. But now, Emery is consumed by her top-secret job, missing dinners, forgetting anniversaries, and promising herself Luca will understand once her cutting-edge research comes to light. Until the unthinkable happens: A tragic accident takes Luca from her.

Desperate not to lose him, Emery breaks every rule to bring him back. And Luca would probably thank her for it, if only he could remember her. Their first kiss, their Sunny Sundays at the beach, the life they built together… all of it is gone.

It may be a miracle of science, but for Emery it’s her one shot at a second chance. And this time, she won’t waste it – because true love is always worth reviving.
