Charity Rossman, widowed with two small children, was happy with life in the small town of Belle. She worked with her brother and sister-in-law at the Belle café, and although friends and family suggested she could marry again, she had no intention of ever marrying. After all, she promised. Jason Shepherd, mayor of Belle, had cared for Charity since they were children. He lunched each day at the café, hoping for a chance to see and speak to Charity. If he could convince her to allow him to court her or perhaps start with a shared supper, he believed he could win her heart. Will love convince Charity to take a chance, or will the promise she made keep her from happiness and a life with Jason? This is a sweet historical romance.
