A Promise to Cherish

New York Times bestselling author LaVyrle Spencer offers a story about falling in love, and finding the courage to follow your dreams…

Lee Walker knows it won’t be easy to start a new life in a new city. But she is on a mission: to prove to everyone, and to herself, that she can make it here, working in the masculine world of the construction industry. When contracting rival Sam Brown offers her a job, Lee is stunned and a little wary. Sam’s motives seem honorable enough, even if he doesn’t see her in a strictly professional light.

In fact, Sam sees her as the woman she’s always hoped to be—smart, capable, warm, funny and sexy. Before she knows it, Lee is falling head over heels for her boss. But part of her is sure that telling Sam about her past would have him backing away, fast. Now she must choose between protecting her bruised and battered heart—or trusting it to a man whose quiet strength just might heal it…“LaVyrle Spencer’s legions of fans are drawn to her fiction because of its uncalculated emotion and the author’s almost old-fashioned sense of integrity.”—Chicago Tribune
