One impulsive decision changes the lives of two lifelong friends forever in a powerful novel of suspense by the USA Today bestselling author of The Last Caretaker.

Lark and Mikki know there’s more to life than working night shift at the highway travel stop, going nowhere fast. They live by 2 rules: 1) Say yes to anything, 2) Keep your eyes open for a ride out. Until a stranger drops in heading to a wedding in Florida, and Mikki impulsively agrees to be his plus-one, never to be seen again.

8 years later, Lark is finally getting her life back together for the sake of her young daughter and Mikki’s lovably prickly grandma, who can no longer care for herself. People have almost stopped blaming Lark for Mikki’s disappearance, and she’s engaged to the nicest guy on highway patrol. But when the stranger who drove Mikki away reappears, impossibly looking for her, nobody knows what to believe.

As the search reignites, Lark fights to find out whether Mikki is really missing or doesn’t want to be found. But piecing together the chain of events set into motion that fateful night could threaten everything—and everyone—Lark has left.
