The Promise

HE'LL RISK EVERYTHING TO KEEP HIS WORD April 18, 1906. A massive earthquake has decimated much of San Francisco, leaving thousands without food, water or shelter. Patrolling the streets to help those in need, Army corporal Ben Tilson meets a young woman named Charlotte who touches his heart, making him think of a future with her in it. In the heat of the moment he makes a promise to her little sister that even he realizes will be almost impossible to keep. Because on the heels of the earthquake, a much worse disaster looms: a fire that threatens to consume everything and everyone in its path. It will take everything Ben's got to make it back to Charlotte and her family-and even that may not be enough. The Promise, a stand-alone novella, is Book Three of A.B. Michaels' historical saga, "The Golden City." Other titles in the award-winning series include The Art of Love, The Depth of Beauty, and The Price of Compassion, to be released in summer 2018.
