Ellie's boyfriend kissed her goodnight and disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again... until now. *** A week before their high school graduation, Austin and Ellie parted ways with a goodnight kiss, thinking they'd be seeing each other in the morning. But Austin vanished and was nowhere to be found. Devastated and alone, Ellie wondered what went wrong. Ten years later, Ellie is 28. She has a good job, a roof over her head, and her best friend, a cat named Selma. Having fully given up on finding Austin, she doesn't expect to run into him at a work conference out of town-wearing a name tag that says William. Or to find that he's more gorgeous now than he was back then, and that the spark between them is still the same. But his secretive life leaves many questions unanswered, and Ellie is determined to finally get explanations. William knows one thing for sure; Ellie will keep going until she finds the truth. And in order to keep her safe, he has to stay far, far away from her. But can he?
