His Promise by L. Wilder

After the loss of my wife and daughter, I did everything in my power to focus on my work and nothing else. It was the only way I could face the day.

I kept everyone at a distance, but there was one person who saw through my charade- Langley, my smart and beautiful legal assistant. Not only did she see my pain, she understood it. When I was at my worst, she was there to pick up the pieces, making sure I didn’t lose the only thing I had left-my career. The day she came to me for help, there was no way I could refuse.

I made her a promise, unaware that it would turn my entire world upside down. Being close to her made me want the one thing I thought was out of my reach-another chance at happiness.
