A promise made:
When Ezra Green sits next to Monroe Friedman in their high school English class, friendship blooms into first love, and even Ezra moving to California wonât keep them apart. Ezra promises Roe that once he finishes college, heâll come home and the two will be together. In the meantime theyâll write and keep in touch. Nothing has to change.
A promise broken:
After months of unanswered letters, Roe makes one final attempt to contact Ezra with disastrous results. Ezra will never be his and he needs to move on.Now, more than twenty years later, Ezra has come home. He doesnât know why Roe stopped writing, but heâs determined to find out. But Roe wonât talk to him and Ezra doesnât understand why. After all, Roe is the one who cut off contact. Isnât he?
The promise of what is meant to be:
When Roeâs beloved grandmother suffers a stroke, the past becomes the present, and Ezra comes up with a plan. Pretending to be together to make an old lady happy should be no big deal, but after an unexpected explosive night together, decades-old secrets and lies are exposed, shattering Roeâs control and Ezraâs heart. Is first love only a dream and a promise merely words, or are Ezra and Roe meant to last a lifetime?
