Which Award Winning Psychological Thriller Books Focus On Memory Loss?

After my best friend Lily Warren was assaulted, she took her own life. I was the only person who knew who had done it. And I was the one who helped cover for him. When Lily's mother knelt at my feet, begging me to tell the truth, I turned away with a cold face. When the people in town called me heartless and smashed my door, I let my dog, Buddy, attack them without hesitation. Ten years later, I was dying. My long-lost best friend, Claire Sutton, returned as the wealthiest woman in the country. The first thing she did was drag me onto the memory-trial platform normally reserved for death-row prisoners. "Rachel Vale, you disgusting animal. You protected a rapist. Lily and I were blind to ever call you our friend! "Lily has been dead for ten years, and you let her attacker walk free for ten years! "Today, I'm going to use the memory extractor I developed to see exactly who you've been protecting!" But when the real culprit appeared before everyone, Claire Sutton collapsed on the spot. She could barely stay on her knees.

For three years, Rachel lived a double life—his wife in private, his secretary in public. Bound to billionaire Slade Pierce by a secret marriage contract, she followed two impossible rules: no children, no falling in love. She broke them both. With the contract’s final days ticking away, Rachel discovered she was pregnant. Afraid of shattering Slade’s trust and certain he was meant to marry another, she signed the divorce papers and vanished, determined to protect her unborn children from a love she believed was never real. Then fate intervened. A tragic accident stole her memories, her name, her life. To the world and to Slade, Rachel was dead. Years later, Slade still lives with her ghost. He’s built an empire, but his heart never healed. Until the day he sees her again—alive, breathing, and looking at him like he’s a stranger. Rachel doesn’t remember the secret marriage. She doesn’t remember the nights they shared or the promises they broke. Yet something deep inside her stirs whenever he’s near, a connection she can’t explain, a pain she doesn’t understand. As fragments of the past begin to surface, so do the secrets that tore them apart. Will she remember the man who never stopped loving her? Can love survive even when memory is gone, or is fate about to take her away all over again?

Aria Bennett once believed love could survive anything. Even a marriage built on silence. Even a husband who never truly looked at her. But on their wedding night, Ethan Blackwood ended everything with a single sentence that shattered her world: “Sign the divorce papers.” No explanation. No emotion. Just an ending dressed as law. Humiliated and heartbroken, Aria disappears. She rebuilds herself from ashes, learning to survive without him, breathe without him, and exist without the shadow of his name. Three years later, she is no longer the woman who loved too softly. She is stronger now. Colder in places. Sharper in ways pain creates. Then Ethan returns. Powerful. Unchanged. Unaware. An accident has stolen his memories, erasing every trace of the woman he once married. To him, Aria Bennett is a stranger he cannot explain. Yet something about her unsettles him. Draws him in. Refuses to let him go. And Aria? She recognizes him instantly. The man who broke her heart now stands before her as if they have never met. Fate traps them in proximity again—through business, circumstance, and unavoidable collision. With every encounter, the line between past and present begins to blur. He protects her without knowing why. Looks at her like she already belongs to him. And slowly, he falls for her… again. But Aria remembers everything. Every silence. Every wound. Every ending. And beneath his lost memories lies a truth far more devastating. Ethan didn’t just forget her. He once made choices that erased her long before the accident ever did. Now love turns into obsession, guilt, and a dangerous kind of redemption. Aria must decide: forgive the man who loved her too late, or walk away before he destroys her twice. Because this time, forgetting her may cost him everything.

Finally, he succeeds in developing an experimental drug that can erase memories. I happen to see his tablet one day. He forgets to log out of his account, so I go through his chat history.
