Publisher Description

The town of Promise, Texas, is a good place to live, to raise a family, to spend the rest of your days with the person you love.

Cal Patterson and his wife, Jane, also known as Dr. Texas, certainly think so. The last thing they expect is a threat to their marriage. But in September, disagreements begin to escalate, with the help of an attractive young woman who's got her eye on Cal.

After months of emotional upheaval brought on by doubts about their marriage, the two separate, and Jane returns to her childhood home in California, taking their children.

Cal, now alone on his ranch, is forced to confront what he really wants in his life, what he needs. Jane is confronting the same questions.

"I loved both stories in this book. The first one, "Return to Promise," shows the struggle between a married couple and a woman who is trying to seduce the husband. Although I enjoyed this story, The second one "Mail-Order-Bride," was the better of the two. I enjoyed everything about it. I loved how the relationship grew between the two main characters, even though the woman was not aware of the marriage because of what her aunts did."

    " I tried twice before I gave up on this book. I found the plot too predictable and not at all what I was hoping for. It's a shame because I was really hoping this would be another good read by Macomber. "
