Book 1 in the Hellequin Chronicles.How do you keep the people you care about safe from enemies you can’t remember?Ten years ago, Nate Garrett awoke on a cold warehouse floor with no memory of his past—a gun, a sword, and a piece of paper with his name on it the only clues to his identity. Since then, he’s discovered he’s a powerful sorcerer and has used his magical abilities to become a successful thief for hire. But those who stole his memories aren’t done with him yet: when they cause a job to go bad and threaten a sixteen-year-old girl, Nate swears to protect her. With his enemies closing in and everyone he cares about now a target for their wrath, he must choose between the comfortable life he’s built for himself and his elusive past. As the barrier holding his memories captive begins to crumble, Nate moves between modern-day London and fifteenth-century France, forced to confront his forgotten life in the hope of stopping an enemy he can’t remember.

This has a lot of interesting stuff going on. He's like this chick magnet awesome guy with powers, and there are bad guys. I liked it, but it got to be too many elements added in for me. It went from present to way in the past with knights and stuff. It also brings in figures from history during...
Nathan Garrett has had his memory taken from him and has therefore spent the last ten years knowing nothing about himself but his first and last name. He's spent the intermittent years working as a thief, using magic when necessary to get by. When a chance meeting leads little droplets of memory r...
Good modern/urban fantasy.Nate Garrett woke up in a warehouse with no real memory of who or what he was. For 10 years he has been working as a thief with magical powers.As his past comes back to haunt him, he has to look after the people he's grown close too as they become pawns in a game that has b...
This lacks a bit in the romance department, but has action galore, a solid and interesting (if not totally original) world-building, a very cool and fascinating protagonist and a quite high body count. What I liked most, was that Nathan really really was a bad ass. In the end even more than in the...
