Lainie Mayes and Hunter Gray had different backgrounds, but they were two kids completely in love. She was a socialite and heiress, while he was the child of always down-on-their-luck parents with alcohol use disorders. They hoped to marry and run away together when she turned 18, but a horrible and destructive family situation left them lost to each other and their families. When Lainie turns up missing (again) years later, Hunter knows he must do everything within his power to find his one and only love. Uncovering the truth while navigating his feelings, Hunter realizes only one thing matters—Lainie. VERDICT Sala (The Next Best Day) delivers a heartfelt read in her first Harlequin Intrigue title.—Shondra Brown
