A stunning novel of romance and redemption set in the Spunes, OR world, filled with heartbreak and hope from "master of emotion" (Rachel Lynn Solomon) USA Today bestselling author Tarah DeWitt.
Bea always wanted to be a mom. But she never expected she’d have to lose her best friend to do it. Armed with nothing but her best friend’s eggs and a bucket list to complete, Bea’s world is a sea of changes.
When she needs a place to stay, her longtime friend Silas steps in to help. A firefighter grappling with the aftermath of an accident, Silas has his own challenges to work through that have left him cautious and vulnerable.
At first, they expect nothing. But as these two former sunshines knit together in a love that has been unfulfilled until now, a new beginning comes out of the ashes of the past?one that will lead to a love that can withstand all the slings and arrows, joys and triumphs, that life can throw.
Reviews:
"Lost and Found is as spicy as it is heartfelt, swoony as it is thought-provoking. It’s a story of true, deep connection that also explores grief and the complexities of motherhood. I truly loved this one."
—Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author
“A bold, character-driven romance written by an author willing and able to take chances?on her characters, in her plots, and through her emotionally rich prose. I was absorbed by Bea and Silas as people navigating a situation more complex than I could have imagined. Rich and cathartic and satisfying, Lost and Found is a romance that will stay with me for a long time.”

“Breathtakingly empathetic and joyously hopeful, Lost and Found is Tarah DeWitt’s sexiest and most compassionate romance yet, firmly cementing her as one of the genre’s best writers of hard-fought intimacy. Bea and Silas’ love story, and the entire Spunes world, spills onto the page with such richness and humanity that you can’t help but forget you’re reading?or at the very least, wish you could never stop, because there’s no safer place to be than in Tarah DeWitt’s hands.”
—Katie Naymon, author of You Between the Lines

"Raw, moving, and dazzlingly romantic, Lost and Found was everything I wanted and more. A beautifully poignant romance about grief, healing, and the enduring nature of friendship. Tarah DeWitt could teach a masterclass in yearning."
