A Vow to Keep (Silhouette Romance)

Promises could break hearts and ruin friendships, but still Rick Chase found himself promising to step back into Linda Starr's life, to help his old friend get used to her empty nest. He'd offer her a job, and then his duty would be done...at least that was his plan before he met the woman she'd become. Classy, refined, Linda had blossomed into a woman of spirit, passion and unmatched beauty. The kind of woman who made his bachelor lifestyle seem...lacking. And wasn't that the problem with promises? They required more of a man than he expected to give--with the potential to reward him with more than he ever imagined! Silhouette Romance #1842, December, 2006.
