In 1959, Janet Brooks is the picture of a good girl-modest, well-mannered, and always doing what's expected of her. That is, until she meets Vinny VanSant, a rough-around-the-edges greaser with a temper, a leather jacket, and a heart full of devotion for the girl he calls his doll.
What starts as a passionate, reckless love quickly turns into a battle against whispers in the school hallways, family disapproval, and dangerous enemies from Vinny's past. As Janet falls deeper for Vinny, she's forced to choose between the life she's always known and the boy who makes her heart race. But love in the 1950s isn't simple-especially when it's tangled in secrets, violence, and the fear of losing everything.
Decades later, Krista Morgan stumbles upon a past that was meant to stay buried. Raised by her loving grandmother, Janet, Krista has always known about the romance between her and Vinny-but when she finds a missing person's poster from 1973 with Vinny's name on it, everything changes.
Determined to find out what really happened, Krista dives headfirst into the mystery, uncovering the truth about Vinny's sudden disappearance, his dangerous ties, and a love story that never truly ended. With the help of her best friend Molly and her boyfriend Mark, Krista pieces together the past-realizing that some love stories never fade, and some secrets refuse to stay hidden.
But as Krista gets closer to the truth, she finds herself being watched. Someone doesn't want her to uncover what really happened to Vinny. And she's about to find out why.
A story of forbidden love, sacrifice, and the lengths we go to for the ones we love-Loving Vinny is a nostalgic and emotional journey through the past and present, where love is fierce, choices are costly, and some mysteries refuse to die.
