When she was young, a bullet from a mass shooting struck Claire,
changing her life forever. It ended her tennis career, but more
importantly, it changed the way she viewed the world. Claire sticks
close to home and her tight-knit community. She never left home for
college. She doesn't travel like she once dreamed about. She stopped
taking chances.
Her decorating business is in trouble and help comes from an unlikely
source: the brother of her ex-best friend. He's offering her an
opportunity to makeover his apartment in New York City, but she
initially turns him down.
Claire had the biggest crush on Logan. Normally, she'd jump at the
chance to spend more time with him. But that was before his sister
Peyton stole her boyfriend. Now Peyton's back in town seeking
treatments for breast cancer and Claire doesn't want to face her.
Against her better judgment, Claire takes the job. The more time she
spends with Logan, the more he challenges her to break out of her
shell. Can her heart find happiness again?
THE PROMISE OF ME is the
second book in the Sanctuary
Sound trilogy, although each book is a standalone novel. The
trauma from the past isn't played out during this book, but the scars
are keeping Claire hostage. Taking chances is at the heart of this book.
Taking a risk is necessary for Claire to move forward in life and find her
happiness. Once she takes control of her fears and lets her bravery
shine through, things start changing for her. Peyton bravely faces her
former friend with regret and sorrow for her actions. She faces her
cancer treatment with the same bravery, hoping to help others heal
with her memoir.
Logan challenges Claire into expanding her horizons; helping her regain
that fire she had for life as a teen. Jamie Beck tugs at the heartstrings
with her relatable characters and heartwarming story, making this a
hard book to put down.
They couldn’t be more different…or more completely perfect for each other. Claire McKenna knows about loss. The bullet wound that ended her promising professional tennis career drove her to make a quiet life for herself working with fabric samples, chatting with her book group, and spending time with her parents in her sleepy coastal Connecticut hometown. Then there was the boyfriend who dumped her to pursue her adventurous childhood friend. Now, Claire’s business has hit a financial snag, but she’s up to the challenge. After all, she can survive anything. At least she thinks so…until her teen crush, Logan, returns to town with his sister, Claire’s traitorous friend. Photographer Logan Prescott is more playboy than homebody. But his sister’s illness teaches him that there’s more to life than chasing the next thrill. Bent on helping her win Claire’s forgiveness, he turns his charm on Claire and offers her big bucks to renovate his multimillion-dollar New York City condo. After years of playing it safe, Claire must now take some risks. The payoff could be huge, but if it all falls apart, can her heart recover from another loss?
