Vampire Interrupted (Book 9 of Argeneau Series) by Lynsay Sands
"IT WAS A CASE SHE COULD SINK HER TEETH INTO . . .
After seven hundred years of life, Marguerite Argeneau finally has a career. Well, the start of one, anyway. She’s training to be a private investigator, and her first assignment is to find an immortal’s mother. It seemed simple enough, until Marguerite wakes up one evening to find herself at the wrong end of a sword. Now she realizes she’s in way over her head.
Julius Notte wants to protect Marguerite, and not because someone just tried to take her head off. She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s his lifemate and he’s determined to woo her. It’s been over five hundred years since he last courted a woman, but surely the techniques haven’t changed. Now if only he can keep her alive – so to speak – so they can have that happily-ever-after.

Such a tragic love story! Marguerite's story is one with many twists and turns.
Marguerite is investigating the birth of Christopher Notte and trying to find his mother for him. She meets Julius Notte and is instantly attracted. They are lifemates. Lifemates that were separated many years ago by a jealous evil person who pretended to be a loving member of their family.
Marguerite's memory of Julius and their life together is completely wiped. Julius joins his son Christopher and Marguerite on the search for Christopher's mother all the well hoping that the journey will bring back Marguerite's memory so that they can be together again like they were many hundreds of years ago.
Fantastic book.
Makes me sad all over again just thinking about it.
