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 wonāt keep them apart. Ezra promises Roe that once he finishes college, heāll come home and the two will be together. In the meantime theyāll 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 doesnāt know why Roe stopped writing, but heās determined to find out. But Roe wonāt talk to him and Ezra doesnāt understand why. After all, Roe is the one who cut off contact. Isnāt he?
The promise of what is meant to be:
When Roeās 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 Roeās control and Ezraās heart. Is first love only a dream and a promise merely words, or are Ezra and Roe meant to last a lifetime?
