Elin Sjoberg knows how people make decisions. Axel Falk knows how to influence them.
When they meet at a private Stockholm reception, the attraction between them is immediate and strangely familiar. Axel seems to know things about Elin he should not know. A forgotten hotel key, an impossible memory, and a trail of carefully engineered coincidences force her to ask a dangerous question:
Did she choose him, or was she chosen for him?
As desire deepens into obsession, Elin discovers a hidden world of behavioral research, private histories, and experiments designed to manipulate what people want. But the closer she comes to the truth, the harder it becomes to separate manipulation from genuine feeling.
Axel may have studied desire. He may even have used it. But neither of them planned to fall in love.
BEFORE YOU WANTED ME is a seductive psychological romance about desire, control, consent, and what remains when two people finally stop trying to predict each other.
Linus Kagali is a writer and creative storyteller with a fascination for human behavior, relationships, desire, and the choices that shape our lives.
BEFORE YOU WANTED ME is his first published novel and marks the beginning of his journey as an author. Through fiction, he hopes to explore emotionally complex characters, difficult questions, and stories that stay with readers long after the final page.
This is the first book, but certainly not intended to be the last. More stories are waiting to be told.
