Summary from Goodreads:
Jason Kincaid is young, hot and successful.

An All-Star outfielder for the Seattle Mariners, he finally had everything he ever wanted, including a second chance with his high school sweetheart, Megan Williams.

But their hopes for a ‘happily-ever-after’ are dashed by tragedy.

A horrific car accident wipes out most of Jason's memories. Unable to recall anything from the last fifteen years of his life, Jason is suddenly adrift, his once charmed life now in ruins.
 Megan finds herself in the untenable position of having to deal with the fact that the man she’s helping to rebuild his life may look, and even act, like her beloved fiancé, but in reality, isn’t any longer.

Trying to protect herself, as well as Jason, Megan fights the attraction between them. . .to no avail. As their potent connection inevitably draws them closer, Megan wonders,

With the memories of their relationship gone, can love endure?
  
Review:
This book both broke and warmed my heart at the same time. I mean, Megan wakes up one day to what can only be described as someone’s worst nightmare. The person you love doesn’t remember you! There are so many ups and downs that I wanted to cry most of the time, but there were plenty of heartwarming moments that made smile and lots of laughs.

This book strays from the common outline of a love story in that the characters aren’t just meeting. Well, I guess in a way they are, but there is so much history with this couple, and I got sucked in to not only what was happening in the present, but what had happened in their past. And boy do Megan and Jason have a past.

What Endures is truly a magnificent journey through the heartache of love lost in an unconventional way, and how finding your way back to that love is impossible. But just maybe, what endures will lead to a new love. It really is a fabulous read, and I strongly recommend it, especially if you are looking for a really good atypical love story.
