THE PROMISE
A WWI ROMANCE
How far would you go to keep a promise?
In the heat of battle, one man's promise to another will be tested.
September 1939 – As Britain is gripped by the fear and uncertainty of war, Tom Armitage stands to gain the one thing that he never thought possible - his freedom. Rosie Elliot sees her future crumbling to dust as Will Aarons leaves Whitby with Jimmy Chappell to fight in the war. As she begins work at The Turnstone Convalescent Home, Rosie finds something she thought she had lost. Friendship. But friendship soon turns to love. Can this new love replace Will?
This is not an ordinary love story.
It's a story of love, loss, courage, and honour.
Of promises that must be kept or risk losing everything you've ever held dear.
"The Promise’ is a masterfully written novel set during World War II, and a change of pace from Harryman’s atmospheric serial killer books (all of which I have read and enjoyed)."
"Many have written about the heroes of war and there are many, both famous and unsung, but this takes us through the myriads of realistic emotions these young people go through that change the dynamic of who they are and what they mean to each other. I highly recommend this poignant and authentically written story. It touched my heart."
"This book was an absolute page-turner! The author masterfully weaves a captivating story that had me hooked from the first chapter. "
