They know that love gives meaning to every single day of their lives.Some people in Promise are from old ranching families - like the Westons and the Pattersons, who first came to the hill country more then a century ago. Then there are people who move here just recently, like Dr. Jane Dickinson and Amy Thornton, women who fell in love with men from Promise - and with the town. And there are newcomers like Jane’s friend Annie Applegate, whose looking for peace and finds a great deal more. She agrees to marry a widowed veterinarian for the sake of his children…..and discovered that marriage can lead to love.
Return to Promise, Texas, with a rich and warm novel that picks up where the "Heart of Texas" Harlequin miniseries left off. The town in the Texas hill country is chock-full of folks who are hard-working, proud and just a little sassy. They live on an emotional roller coaster of love and loss.

This is an enjoyable read for those that like to escape to a place filled with cozy and sweet people--and also lots of budding romances. I enjoyed it for that--and this is part of a series so if it turns out to be your cup of tea there are plenty more just like it to read. (
