A Promise to Keep

Maegan McCoy made a promise on her mother's deathbed-to protect her younger brother, Cody, at all costs. But when a violent brush with outlaws nearly costs Cody his life, Maegan desperately chooses to leave behind the chaos and seek refuge with family in Millcreek, Missouri. What she finds instead is a simmering family feud rooted in the ashes of the Civil War-and secrets that refuse to stay buried. Sheriff Bridger is a steady hand in a town torn by old grudges, but Maegan's fragile sense of safety shatters when she witnesses a brutal murder. Bound by a vow of silence to protect Cody, she's thrust into a web of danger and distrust that threatens everything-including her growing feelings for the sheriff. Meanwhile, sparks fly between Maegan's brother Austin and Alison, the sister of the local reverend. But when scandal and suspicion drive Austin from town, Alison is left with a broken heart and shaken faith. In A Promise to Keep, two women must cling to faith as God weaves their stories together. Book two of the Millcreek Trilogy, beginning with A Debt to Pay, this suspense-filled journey explores the sanctifying trials of love, loyalty, and the unshakable promises of God amid the backdrop of the American frontier.
