A missing girl, a grieving family and a destiny so powerful it will not be denied. Five years ago, Emily McGovern decided to walk home from a party - and disappeared into thin air. While Emily became one of New Zealand's 350+ official missing persons, her boyfriend Heath Danes was branded as 'the one left behind'. As their friends and family steadfastly move on with their lives, Heath exists in limbo, waiting for something which may never happen. Only when he's surfing does he find the peace he craves. When new girl Maia arrives in the small seaside town, she sets in motion a chain of events that nobody could've anticipated. With a startling resemblance to Emily, Heath predictably finds Maia impossible to ignore. But that's where predictability ends. Maia has a past - and her past will change everything. Do you believe in soul-mates? How about destiny? Do you believe that some destinies are bound together so tightly that nothing can tear them apart? Pick up Amanda Dick's latest novel today and find out if destiny really does have a loophole.
