Intimate enemies

the long version

She had nothing left to lose. The accident that claimed her parents' lives had left Amber to languish alone in hospital, certain she had only months left to live. Despair drove her into a romantic encounter with a man she didn't know, and when she learned she wasn't to die after all, she prayed she would never again come face to face with the stranger who knew her shame. But it was not to be. Seeking solace in her best friend's home, she was reunited with the man whose memory tormented her.
