Before You Were Mine is a psychological second-chance romantic suspense novel centered on memory, identity, love, and emotional survival. Set against the backdrop of corporate corruption and generational power, the story follows Alexis Monroe and Sebastián Vale, a married couple torn apart after a devastating accident leaves Sebastián with severe memory loss. Rebuilt into someone unrecognizable by the powerful family determined to control his future, Sebastián is led to believe his former life no longer exists. Years later, Alexis unexpectedly comes face-to-face with the husband who no longer remembers her, their marriage, or the life they once shared. As fragmented memories begin resurfacing, they are forced to confront the people and systems that deliberately erased their relationship for power and control. While the novel contains elements of dark romance and psychological suspense, its emotional core focuses on healing, trust, rediscovery, and the fight to reclaim identity and love after profound betrayal.
