Promises We Meant to Keep by Adrian J. Smith

A desperate kiss. A fake-dating arrangement. A past that haunts them both.

Elia Sharpe has closed herself off from love and friendship after a devastating accusation of impropriety. But after eighteen years, she wants to do things differently. When her former student is hired as the temporary Head of School instead of her, she knows that it’ll be a disaster. Elia is determined to keep her name free of another scandal and prove she was right for the job all along.
When a position opens at Kamryn’s old school, it’s her golden opportunity to escape from her recent breakup. But when her ex-girlfriend shows up at a fall festival, Kamryn takes desperate measures to hide just how unhappy she really is. And she kisses Elia Sharpe—her former English teacher and current bane of her existence. In a desperate attempt to protect herself, Kamryn begs Elia to fake-date for her best friend’s wedding.

All is well…
Until the past threatens their future.
And Elia has one choice. Trust Kamryn to do her job and do it well.
Will they work together to expose the true perpetrator? Or will the past cause irreconcilable differences?
