Making Promises is the prequel to LETTING GO and the first standalone story in the Jackson’s Bridge Series, a closed-door, romantic small-town saga set in the Colorado Rockies.
Callie Winters wants to get in and out of Jackson’s Bridge as soon as possible. Colorado is full of hard memories, but being near her father feels like home, and she and her teenage son could use a Thanksgiving that grounds them when everything else seems to push them apart. But when Brett joins a group of rowdy college boys who get lost in the woods, Callie must trust a community of strangers to bring her son home safely again, and a mountain guide who triggers more than her sense of gratitude.
Retired army medic Sam Pembroke needs a hot meal and a warm bed for the night as he passes through Jackson’s Bridge, riding through the mountain states overwriting the memories that haunt him. He’s due back home by Thanksgiving, and to his father, who is waiting to hear if he’ll take over the family business—a venture built on his French mother's family pâtissière recipes—her heritage packaged, his childhood along with it.
But when Penny—the town's proud, elderly cafe owner—chooses to confide in him, Sam develops a connection that could keep him in town indefinitely. He was supposed to be a stranger, just a soldier passing-through. But there's one last thing Penny needs and Sam knows he can make it happen. One last promise. One last wish. And something he never got the chance to do for his own mother.
A heartwarming, emotional story about love, family, friendship, and community. Perfect for fans of small-town settings, second chances, and meaningful connection.
