Promise Note by Allie Hayden

Years ago, I left Karissa with an ache in her heart, eager to chase my dreams in California alongside her brother, James, my best friend
Now, returning to Colorado after a decade, memories of our high school romance flooded my mind
I had left her a Promise Note—etched with love and vows for the future we dreamt of together
Fate had unexpectedly reunited us to care for her ailing mother, and the moment our eyes met, my heart raced like a runaway train
Karissa had transformed into a woman with a fierce beauty that caught me off guard, rekindling the passion that had never truly faded
Yet, winning her back wouldn’t be easy…
Karissa had every reason to be mad at me for vanishing without a word, and I regretted that decision every day since
Still, the magnetic pull between us was undeniable
But the stakes were high—Karissa was James’ little sister
Breaking his trust was a risk I couldn’t take lightly, as forbidden desires tempted us, testing our loyalties
Stolen glances and accidental touches reignited the flame we once shared, blurring the line between past and present
Could we trust our hearts and defy the odds, letting the Promise Note guide us back to a love that was lost and found again?
…Or will we remain haunted by the what-ifs of a love that once burned so brightly
