A Kiss of Promise

Suffering under the scandalous circumstances surrounding her father's death, only Alaina's love for Martin and the memory of their one stolen kiss have kept Alaina steady. But she hasn't heard from Martin in far too long and cannot wait forever in the hopes that he will return from America.

Just as Alaina begins to recover, one of her father's associates emerges from the shadows with a choice—she must pose as his fiancée in America or he'll send her brother to prison on charges of forgery. Willing to endure ruin and an uncertain future, Alaina agrees—she can do no less for the brother who's spent his entire life protecting her.

Martin hasn't forgotten Alaina or the kiss they shared. When word of her sacrifice reaches him, he'll move heaven and earth to find the woman he's been building a future for. Martin will make her his, no matter the cost.
