The Promise He Kept
Her brother's last order was a promise. The man who kept it is standing in her orchard. Nora Quinn has held her family's Colorado orchard together for fourteen months on stubbornness, cold coffee, and arithmetic that never comes out right - ever since the Army officers came to her door about her brother, Danny. Then a stranger drives up her lane in Danny's restored '69 Ford, with Danny's retired military working dog riding shotgun and a wooden box on the seat between them: ten numbered letters, to be delivered one at a time.
Her brother's last operation. His hand-picked courier. Staff Sergeant Ethan Brandt means to stay three days - long enough to fix a roof, hand over the keys, and outrun the promise he can barely carry. But the orchard is drowning, the harvest won't wait, and someone in a dove-gray pickup is circling the land with a smile like a foreclosure. Three days becomes a season. A bunk deal becomes a crew. And the quiet man who notices everything becomes the one person Nora can't do her arithmetic without - even as he counts down the days until he has to tell her the truth about the morning her brother died.
A clean small-town military romance with a guaranteed happily-ever-after: closed door, full heart, one very good dog. Book One of Maple Creek Homecomings, where every homecoming starts with a promise - and each book may be read on its own.
