Before She Was Mine

Marlowe Scott thought she married her soulmate. She didn't know she married a pattern.

 

Two years into her marriage, Marlowe starts noticing the small things that don't add up — a stranger who swears he knows her husband by another name, a fear he shouldn't know about, a story about his past that shifts every time he tells it. When she finally starts pulling at the thread, what unravels isn't just a lie. It's a blueprint he's used before, on women who trusted him completely, right up until they didn't.

Now it's Marlowe's turn to run — and the people who are supposed to protect her aren't the ones who end up saving her. Only her sister and her closest friend are willing to risk everything to prove that the man she married has done this before, and he'll do it again, unless she stops him first.

He's always been three steps ahead. This time, she intends to be the one who's ready.
