Prince (ish) And The Peace Carolyn Laroche

He has no idea how he got to Virginia Beach. Or who shot him. He doesn't even remember his own name. Presumed to be a witness to a murder, he finds himself in protective custody with only a single clue as to his identity: a nametag stuck to his shirt with "Prince Patrick" scrawled in black ink. Not sure who he is, where he is from or how he got there, Patrick finds himself relying on the intriguing US Marshal assigned to guard him. Sylvia Fairfax and her partner Mack had one job-transport a high-value witness to testify in a major criminal case-and they failed. After that witness gives them the slip and winds up dead, Sylvia is charged with protecting their new witness while they wait for his memories to return. Despite how the overly picky sleeper finds fault with every mattress his body touches, his gentle demeanor and quirky personality find cracks in her armor and they grow closer than her professionalism should allow. Regaining his memory becomes critical when another attempt is made on his life. Sylvia's watching his back and taking over his heart, but Patrick may need more than that to save him. When he defies the odds and regains the memories he lost, what he remembers shocks them all.
