Air Force Pilot Charlie Matthews has flown to the farthest reaches of the world, but he can never seem to reconnect with his first, and only love. Will their latest reunion finally land them on a path to forever? After years of service in the Air Force, Charlie Matthews is finally hanging up his wings and coming home for good to the Flying Cross Ranch to help his ailing father. And after nearly a decade of short layovers and missed connections, Charlie is finally swooping back to sweep the love of his life off her feet. Unfortunately, he discovers the woman who makes his heart soar is about to depart on a one way ticket out of town. Growing up in the foster care system, Savy James has always wanted her very own forever home. Now a foster mother herself, she’s devastated when the government declares her land protected for wild horses, meaning she and her ragtag bunch of foster kids will once again be uprooted, this time to the other side of the state. Being separated once again from Charlie is too much to bear, but he can’t leave his sick father and she’d never ask him to. Determined to make this work, Charlie offers up his ranch to Savy and the kids. But the children aren’t used to his tough love. After Savy’s free-spirited ways, Charlie’s military style of discipline does not endear him to them. And when one of the kids makes a dangerous choice that leads a social worker to question their fitness as parents, Savy’s big, happy family is in jeopardy once again. Can a true love that's stood the test of time and space weather the storm of rebel youth? Find out in His Vow to Love, the first in a series of heartwarming stories that prove that falling in love is an act of heroism, but finding family is life's most extraordinary achievement.

JAG Officer Joe Matthews can't afford a scandal when he comes home to run for political office.

Joe's current trajectory is to become the county District Attorney, where he'll be able to help keep the scales of justice in balance and help protect foster kids like him. Professing his feelings for his psychic best friend would certainly tip the scales out of balance.

When she gets a feeling that a foster kid is in trouble, she enlists the help of her childhood best friend to help her save the day. Joe should definitely not allow himself to be pulled into another one of Foxy's harebrained schemes based on the tingling in her tummy when he's so close to a political appointment. But the thought of the woman he loves placing herself in harm's way is enough to convince Joe to slay an imaginary dragon for her. Joe has always been Foxy's hero, but when she gets a flash that he's also her one true love, she's floored. And then annoyed it took him so long to reveal himself to her. But mostly thrilled that her gut got one right and fate brought her the perfect man after all. Only once they claim their love, both of Joe's and Foxy's futures are in jeopardy. When Foxy comes face to face with a very real villain that threatens the livelihoods of the vulnerable foster children she's sworn to care for, will her word hold any sway for the town to believe her this time? And if Joe makes his relationship with the town psychic public, he just may lose their vote of confidence? Can a fated love that's waited an eternity to be revealed stand strong in the light of reality?
