A promise is made. A tragedy occurs. - Jeremy's Promise by A.R. Talley

"I found myself sad, happy, crying, laughing, and having a difficult time setting the book down and found myself rushing home from work to continue reading. Jeremy's Promise second book in a trilogy by A.R. Talley is an awesome, emotional, romantic, highly recommended, well written story with captivating and engaging characters." - Goodreads

Description:

The trip that was meant to save Annie and Jeremy’s marriage brought it to near ruin. Now Annie has returned home, frightened and confused. Jeremy, too, is frightened—and angry. What will it take to save their marriage?

It’s clear. Jeremy needs to forgive—Annie needs to forget.

A promise is made. A tragedy occurs. A second honeymoon is disrupted. A chance encounter brings David Andrews back into Annie’s life.

Annie is determined to remain faithful. She’s made a promise she intends to keep—Jeremy’s Promise.

EXCERPT

     Okay, Jeremy,” Terry said, “Tell her.”
    “What?” Jeremy asked, bewildered.
     “Tell her how you feel about this other man in her life.”
     Jeremy was silent for a long moment. I didn’t know why he hadn’t launched immediately into a tirade about David Andrews. All I did know was I didn’t want to hear it.
    “Well,” Jeremy said, more subdued, “I think she knows—that anyway.”
     “No, Jeremy, you have to tell her.”
     More silence.
     “Annie, look at him,” Terry said. I shook my head. I couldn’t look at him. “Annie,” Terry said with measured patience, “Look at him.”
      I wiped the back of my hand across each cheek and slowly raised my head. I looked across at Jeremy. His face was red and silent tears ran down his cheek.
    “Tell her,” Terry said, gently prodding.
    “I’d rather die than have you be with him,” he said, his voice so strained I had to hold my breath to hear him. “Thinking of you—with him—it’s like having a thousand shards of glass lacerate my heart. It’s bleeding me to death.” His lip quivered.
