I read it in middle or early highschool so I read it in mid to late 90s. It was about a girl, teen???, was home alone when a group of teens or young adults broke in her house. She was thrown in the basement, hurt bad. They messed up the house and I know one of the guys ur!n@ted in a (her?) room. They got away and she was found and spent some time in the hospital; she had some amnesia which made it harder for authorities to catch the people who broke in. One of the guys that was in the group felt bad about what they did and was keeping tabs on her. I don’t remember how but he ended up meeting her and since she didn’t remember him they became close. She eventually remembered or somehow found out he was part of it but I don’t remember what happened after that. I’m a huge dark romance reader and I do remember hoping the guy would get redemption so I would love to find this and read it again.
This has to be “We All Fall Down” by Robert Cormier. Not really romantic, though.
