Texas Promise - Paperback
She dreams of love, but he is bound by honor.
Daisy Bennett, daughter of a seasoned U.S. Marshal, has grown up in the shadows of danger, watching her mother’s heartache as she waits for a husband who might not return. Daisy knows the toll that life can take, and it’s a future she’s vowed to avoid. So, when Lucas Armstrong, the boy she once loved, finally asks for her hand, she makes him swear an oath: he will never wear a lawman’s badge.
But Lucas carries a burden heavier than any man should. At sixteen, he vowed to his father, murdered in cold blood, to seek justice. Six long years have passed, and the trail has gone cold. With no authority and little to go on, his chances of righting the wrong seem all but lost… until Marshal Bennett, Daisy’s father, offers him a chance — a lifeline to the very future he’s been chasing. But to take it means breaking a promise he’s held onto since boyhood.
Can the weight of an unbroken vow to the past shatter the dreams of a life yet to be?
