Promise to a Boy
The small Montana town of St. Adelbert was supposed to be a refuge for Abby Fairbanks and her young nephew, Kyle. But the well-dressed, far-too-good-looking stranger standing outside her front door could threaten all that.
His name is Reed Maxwell, and he's looking for his missing brother—possibly the father of the boy Abby has sworn to protect. Abby refuses to believe Reed is the type who'd take a child from his home and the people who love him. Because Reed seems like a good man, who didn't come to destroy a family but to mend one. Maybe even to find one.
But when events beyond their control threaten to come between them, will Reed walk away and take Kyle—and Abby's heart—with him?

PROMISE TO A BOY by author Mary Brady is an emotional roller-coaster of a read.
Abby lives with her young nephew, Kyle in a small Montana town. So when Reed Maxwell arrives on her doorstep looking for his missing brother, Abby wonders if Reed could take Kyle away, as Reed's brother could possibly by Kyle's dad.
But Reed seems a good man and he wouldn't break a family, would he? And Abby feels attracted to Reed.
But things happen which are beyond their control.
I was pleasantly surprised by the lighter moments in this emotion packed story. I loved reading Abby and Reed's story and would recommend it for it's emotional intensity as well as for the light moments.
