      He’s finally back...

      but time doesn’t heal all wounds

      William Kauffman is back in his Michigan hometown, but not for long. When he runs into his high school sweetheart, Annie Curtis, she’s a reminder of everything and everyone he left behind, without an explanation, years ago. Are a sick mother, a failing diner, two adorable children and the woman he’s never stopped loving enough to make him right past wrongs and stay?

      ELIZABETH MOWERS wrote her first romance novel on her cell phone when her first child wouldn’t nap without being held. After three years, she had a happy preschooler and a hot mess of a book that will never be read by another person. The experience started her down the wonderful path of writing romances, and now that she can use her computer, she’s having fun cooking up new stories. She’s drawn to romances with strong family connections and plots where the hero and heroine help save each other. Elizabeth lives in the country with her husband and two children.

      “Are you in a bad place now, William?”

      “What do you mean?”

      Annie shrugged. “Breezing back into town and then readying to leave again... What haven’t you told me?”

      He paused, his hands grazing over hers before pulling away. “Nothing.”

      Her wide eyes slowly narrowed. “Something.”

      “You and I haven’t gotten off on the right foot, Annie, and I’d like to make a fresh start with you.”

      “I don’t really know what to say.”

      “Consider this gift a peace offering for all the times I should have been with you staring up at the moon. I really wish you would.”

      “You missed a lot, William. And to suddenly start a friendship now...”

      “I’m sorry. I should have been here.”

      “No. You should have called me, instead of dropping off the face of the earth. I didn’t know what had happened to you. I assumed you didn’t care about me anymore.”

      “I always cared,” William whispered. “I care.”

      Dear Reader,

      A long time ago, I heard the adage “Friends are the family you choose,” and as I have friends I embrace as sisters, I believe this to be true. As far as families go, sometimes they hurt us and sometimes we lose our way.

      In A Promise Remembered, I wanted to imagine a community that would become family for Annie and William, who loved each other once upon a time but think a second chance at happiness is out of their reach. As Annie fights to protect her family and William runs from past mistakes, they might think they’re each too broken to choose a new life, a happier life. And yet, they have a cast of supportive friends—from Dan and Earl, to Margie and Joe—who love Annie and William enough to nudge them along to the happily-ever-after they both deserve. Because we all deserve friends who love us as family and a family that pulls us closer to love.

      I wish that for us all.

      I’d love to connect with you. Find me on Facebook on my author page or visit my website, elizabethmowers.com.

      Wishing love to you and yours,

       Elizabeth
