Before I Knew It Was You

She didn't expect anything that night. Not the reservation under her name. Not the quiet attention from strangers. And definitely not the feeling that someone... already knew she was there.

Valerie Rayes came to a new city to start over to work, to write, to become someone she could finally be proud of. The past was supposed to stay where it belonged.

But some stories don't end just because we leave them behind.

When small, unexplainable details begin to unfold a dessert she didn't order, a note with no name, and a question she can't ignore. Valerie is forced to confront something she thought she had already let go.

Because somewhere in the same city,
someone recognized her... long before she recognized him.

And this time, the story might not end the way it did before.
