Four years ago, Malachi Barton had everything he ever wanted.
A beautiful life with Freya Skye. Three children they adored. Another baby on the way. And a ring hidden away, waiting for the moment he could finally ask Freya to spend forever with him.
Then she disappeared.
Freya was twenty-five when she was taken by people who wanted her gone. She vanished without a trace, and the baby she was carrying disappeared with her. No body. No answers. No goodbye.
Now Malachi is twenty-nine.
He has built a successful business, surrounded himself with the friends who have stood beside him through the darkest years, and devoted his life to raising his three children. Willow, Kayla and Riley have grown up without their mother, each carrying memories of her that have faded with time.
Everyone tells Malachi the same thing: it's been four years. He needs to move on.
Especially when Nicole, the new girl at his company, enters his life.
But Malachi refuses.
Because how do you move on from someone when you never got to say goodbye?
How do you stop loving someone when a part of you still believes they're out there?
And what happens when the past you've spent four years searching for finally starts searching for you?
As Malachi begins uncovering pieces of the truth surrounding Freya's disappearance, he realizes there are people who will do anything to keep those secrets hidden.
Because Freya wasn't simply taken.
She was taken for a reason.
And finding her may be the most dangerous thing Malachi has ever done.
Some love stories end.
Some are stolen.
And some refuse to stay buried.
