Summary:
Nothing can stop Raine Cooper when she wants something...
Raine finally knows that her gorgeous neighbor, Torin St. James, is a legend straight out of Norse mythology, and that her feelings for him are strong. Torin is crazy about Raine too, breaking the one rule he lives by: Never fall for a mortal. The problem is he no longer remembers her, his memories erased by Norns—Norse destiny deities—to punish her for defying them.
So Raine comes up with a plan...
She will make Torin forget his one rule a second time and fall in love with her all over again.
But she quickly learns that well-laid plans do not work when dealing with deities and supernatural beings. Desperate, Raine makes choices that could not only tear her and Torin further apart, but lead to the destruction of everything and everyone she loves.

Excerpt:
“Who were those three?” he asked, placing his camera and plate on the table.
“They’re not important.” What did the Norns mean by he was the reason I was alive? And why did he need to be protected? “Are things okay with your parents?”
“Same as usual.” Instead of eating, he picked up his camera and fiddled with it. “You’re really going to blow me off again?”
His angry tone blindside me, and I blinked. “What?”
He turned his camera and showed me the image displayed on the LCD screen. It was the picture he’d taken of me and the three Norns. Instead of their teenage disguises, the camera had captured their true images. Just like the night I’d seen them at the hospital, their hair was long and stringy, skin wrinkled, eyes piercing and eerie. Beside them, I looked like a helpless lamb, or a puppet.
“Those are the three Norns you’ve been dealing with.”
I stared at Eirik with wide eyes. “You know?”
“Of course I do.”
“How… When…” I sputtered.
“My parents told me everything the day he appeared.” He pointed across the room.
Torin, Andris, and a group of cheerleaders had just entered the cafeteria. One clung to Torin’s arm and seemed to be the lead groupie. Pain, fierce and relentless, stabbed my heart. Was he going to put me through this with Mortals, too? Seeing him with Lavania was already too much.
Torin glanced at our table, and our eyes met. He was the first one to look away. I swallowed the pain, turned my attention to Eirik, and found him studying me with an annoyed expression.
“I know a lot has happened since he got here, so I don’t know if you remember that night,” he said, frowning.
“I do. You missed swim practice, didn’t return my texts or calls, and when you finally came over to my house, you were angry with your parents. They’d come back from one of their many trips and told you about moving back home.”
“Except home wasn’t Earth.” His expression furious, he took a big bite of his pizza.
“What do you mean,” I glanced around then leaned forward and whispered, “‘home wasn’t Earth’? Are you saying you are from there, too?” I whispered.
He nodded.
I stared. “That’s… Wow, that’s huge. Mom told me your parents were, but I just assumed you couldn’t be. I mean, you were born and raised here.”
He shook his head. “Raised, not born. I asked them why, but they wouldn’t tell me anything. The more I push for answers the more they clam up. It’s all so stupid,” he ground out. “I mean, what’s the big deal? Why the secrecy?”
