Before You Loved Me

BEFORE YOU LOVED ME

He knew more than he should. She knew more than she deserved to.

She thought they met by chance. He knew better.

Three years after losing the man she planned to marry, Segilola Adeyemi has learned how to survive grief by keeping love at a careful distance.

Then she meets Gbadebo Akinwale.

Quiet, attentive, and impossible to ignore, he understands her silences too easily. With him, beginning again starts to feel possible.

Until the messages arrive.

A date he refuses to explain. A photograph that should not exist. A warning from someone who knows exactly how they met.

As Segilola searches for the truth, the man she is falling for becomes the centre of a mystery that began long before their first conversation.

And some love stories are built on secrets that were never meant to survive.
