When Evie and Leo met in foster care, they became each other's anchor—two kids with nothing but a promise to build a life together once they turned eighteen. But when Leo gets adopted and disappears from her life without a word, Evie is left to move forward alone, eventually building a quiet, contented life for herself. Then a mysterious stranger appears claiming to be connected to Leo, and suddenly Evie's carefully constructed world is shaken by the chemistry between them and the questions she can't ignore: What really happened to Leo all those years ago, and what does this enigmatic man know that he's not telling? This is a swoon-worthy second-chance romance wrapped in mystery and longing that'll have you desperate to uncover the truth right alongside Evie.
