She vanished without a word for decades. This time, it might cost her life.

Hannah Holt was the girl of my dreams, the love of my life—until she walked away without warning, leaving our infant daughter behind. Thirty years later, she’s a Hollywood icon, beloved by millions … and a stranger to me.

I built a life in the military, forging a path I thought would give us a future. Instead, it seemed to be something that drove a wedge between us. Now, on my fiftieth birthday, she’s back—haunted, elusive, and still holding onto secrets.

She says her past silence wasn’t abandonment, it was protection. She can’t say more, not until she gathers enough evidence for a court-martial. Then, just as suddenly as she returned, Hannah vanishes again.

Only this time, she can’t be found.

Her agent is panicked. Her closest friend hasn’t heard from her. Her parents have no details. And the more I dig, the more it looks like Hannah was never running from me, but from something darker. Something that still wants her silence.

I have the training, the contacts, and the determination to find her. Now I need the truth—before the woman I’ve never stopped loving disappears for good.
