Lost Love

LOST LOVE A Love in LA Prequel

Eighteen-year-old Elaina "Lainey" James thought high school boys were the worst—until a gorgeous stranger walked into Betty's Diner and turned her whole world upside down.

Andy is charming, attentive, and looks at her like she's the most important person in the room. Their connection is instant. What starts as stolen glances over salt shakers becomes late-night drives, whispered confessions, and a first love so consuming Lainey can barely breathe.

But Andy carries secrets he won't share—shadows lurking behind his amber eyes and a past he refuses to discuss. Lainey tells herself love is enough. That she can be his safe place. That their perfect summer will stretch into forever.

She's wrong.

Some loves burn so bright they leave scars. And some goodbyes come without warning.

Lost Love is the heartbreaking prequel to Lost Love Found, featuring characters from the Love in LA series. This novella contains themes of suicide and grief that some readers may find difficult.
