Pages of Promise

2024

When Eliza's life is threatened, she turns to a handsome veteran for help. I left everything I'd ever known behind. And that decision may cost me my life. The moving truck hadn't even been unpacked when my fresh start went up in flames. A frightening letter left in my mailbox and signed Always Yours sends me running to the only man in town who can help me. Driven by his protective nature and a mission he believes comes from God, ex-Army Ranger Lance Knight agrees, despite the fact that I've made it no secret I want nothing to do with him—or anyone for that matter. The longer we're together, the more I begin to realize that Lance is more than I gave him credit for. Something that troubles me nearly as much as the fact that an unknown man seems to have already claimed me as his. Trouble is, my admirer has a jealous side, and it's not long before Lance is pulled into the crosshairs right alongside me… Get your copy now and be ready to stay up all night! Pages of Promise is a swoon-worthy, faith-based, suspenseful romance between a jaded woman and the hero determined to protect not just her body…but her heart.

After my grandmother dies, I’m forced to return for the first time in eight years. Unfortunately, trouble has followed me home. Elijah Breeth—ex-Army Ranger turned private security—is who my grandmother told me to go to last year when I’d had a stalker. I refused then, wanting nothing to do with anyone in this zip code. Now I have no other choice than to beg the handsome veteran for help. The problem is, he hates me just as much as I despise this place. How can I trust him to keep me alive when we can’t be in the same room for ten seconds without wanting to kill each other?
