Smoky Reminiscence is a 19,000-word contemporary new adult romance novella featuring a neurodivergent relationship with an autistic love interest, set against the dark, crisp autumn backdrop of the Smoky Mountains. The heroine's dissociative amnesia erases her emotional connection to the autistic hero she loved, while a love triangle with his charismatic best friend forces her to choose between comfort and the terrifying pull of a man who's been shaking his whole life.

Brynn has loved Brennan since they were sixteen—patiently, fiercely, through every obstacle. He experiences the world differently, reading emotions in patterns rather than instinct, and their connection has always moved in cycles, distance creeping back no matter how hard they fought. But that love was hard-won, and it was real. They built something together.

Now, on a college trip to the Smoky Mountains, an accident shatters everything. Brynn wakes with her memories fractured. She can recall facts, names, dates—but the feeling of loving Brennan is gone, erased as if it never existed. She remembers that she loved him, but not how. And Asher—charming, relentless, tired of watching from the sidelines—sees his opening.

Over twenty-one days, the mountains become her battleground. At a festival, the crowd presses in until she can't breathe, and Brennan pulls her out with steady, wordless care. At an overlook, Asher argues Brennan is too different to love her the way she deserves. But what does "deserve" even mean? Is it the easy love, or the one that shows up quietly, consistently, without performance? Brennan admits his deepest fear: not just losing her, but not being able to compete with a man who offers what he cannot. But isn't the love that fights through silence worth more than the one that never had to? At a hidden waterfall, she finally knows her answer.
