Maybe in this Lifetime by Asia Monique
Leyland Graham
The life I thought was mine never existed.
She never existed… or so I thought.
When I woke from my induced coma asking for my wife, only to learn I’d never been married, I was devastated.
And when Clementine walked into my hospital room—just as beautiful as she had been in my dreams—wearing an engagement ring another man had given to her, my entire world stopped.
Nothing would ever be the same until I noticed she wasn’t happy. That the man she’d chosen for herself didn’t love her like I had… like I do.
I knew then I had to fight for what was mine—for the woman who belonged to me, no matter the lifetime.
Clementine Warren
The life I thought I wanted wasn’t enough anymore.
When my patient mistook me as his wife after waking from an induced coma, I was terrified.
But when Leyland told me things about myself he shouldn’t know, it stirred something inside of me I had no clue was there.
Now, I can’t look at my fiancé the same. Now, I want to recreate the memories dancing in Leyland’s eyes whenever he looks into mine.
My world will never be the same, and it’s all because of him—the man who swears he’ll love me in every lifetime.

What other choice did I have?
