More Than a Promise (Second Gift Series Book 2)

Second Gift Series, Book 2 (Full Novel Version, 230 pages)

Cassie escapes to Ocean View Stables on the Oregon Coast to cope with the three year anniversary of her husbandâ€™s death. Sheâ€™s starting to dream about her future, being happy, and even romance again. A safe romance, that is, where people donâ€™t die. She runs into Ethan Caldwell, the cute boy who teased her through grade school. He sure grew up â€“ into a man who would catch anyoneâ€™s eyes. Now heâ€™s a single dad to nine year old Isabel, who talks about her parents getting back together, as soon as her mom is out of rehab. â€œIsyâ€ also talks about her dadâ€™s work trips. Apparently Ethan has some kind of dangerous and secretive government job. Cassie wants to run but she loves spending time with both Ethan and Isy. This isnâ€™t at all what Cassie is looking for! So why is she running full speed into another broken heart?

Teaser:

â€œWant to go swimming?â€ Ethan asked.

She was busy thinking and thought she misunderstood him, but the expectant smile on his face told her otherwise. â€œRight now?â€

He got up and stuck out a hand. Before she could think the situation over, or create a good reason to say no, he had grabbed her hand and was pulling her toward the river, looking back once to grin mischievously. â€œWeâ€™re being sneaky!â€

â€œIâ€™m not wearingâ€¦â€ a swimsuit. â€œSame old Ethan!â€ Heâ€™d always been a dare devil.

He let go of her hand to pull off his shirt. The moonlight silhouetted his body as he walked closer to the water, his shorts dropping. Either he hadnâ€™t been wearing underwear or he dropped them with his shorts. It was nothing but skin. She looked away, pretending she didnâ€™t just see his naked bodyâ€¦his very toned, naked body.

â€œI can show you the worldâ€¦â€ he sang as he walked toward the water. â€œTake you wonder by wonderâ€¦â€

Was that from the movie Aladdin? She giggled. She couldnâ€™t help it; she giggled like a little school girl.

â€œOver, sideways and underâ€¦â€

Could he possibly be thinking the same things she was? This man was not like those other guys, the ones who wanted to sit in a restaurant and ask her about life plans.

â€œI wonâ€™t look,â€ he said, wading in, with a hint of repressed laughter.

From the author:
I'm so excited about this story! Ethan might be my best hero yet. He's deeply committed to people he loves, like Trent is from More Than Memories, and he's wounded like Jason in Embers of Hope. He's also daring and super romantic. I'm dying to share this story with you!
