ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: A Promise to Keep
Author: Melony Teague
Publisher: Anaiah Press
Release Date: January 21, 2020

Research librarian Savannah Sanderson wants nothing more than to escape into her happily-ever-after novels with their larger-than-life fictional heroes. But a promise to her late husband has her attending her dreaded twenty-year high school reunion, drinking ghastly punch, and taking desperate measures just to keep her vow, even if she has to hide behind the décor to do it.
Once a reckless troublemaker, Michael McCann fled town after graduation. Now a professional technical rescuer, he’s back for the reunion, but on his trip down memory lane, he soon comes face to face with unresolved issues, namely Savannah.
Before the night is over, a pact between these two old friends will lead them on an adventure into uncharted emotional territory where Michael must confront his past regrets and find the courage to reveal the truth. But can Savannah fly from her sheltered nest and risk her heart on a real-life hero?

EXCERPT
From Chapter 1
Michael
McCann had promised himself he’d never set foot in Point, New York, again, let
alone the high school. But May was typically a slow month for him and his team,
so he’d made the trip. However, the dread churning in his stomach was worse
than when he executed a complex rescue extraction. And not just because Claire
had sweet-talked him into helping the setup committee secure all the balloons
to the makeshift dropped ceiling in the gym. Once he finished with the decor,
he planned to escape for a walk around town.
But now, while roaming
the halls in search of the custodian and his ladder, he’d found Savannah outside
his senior classroom. He hadn’t meant to startle her, but when he’d called her
name, she’d jumped and twirled to face him. Her eyes were as wide as a mama
deer caught in the jeep’s headlights. The familiar spike of adrenaline surged
in his veins, and he waited for her to recognize him. She was more beautiful
than ever.
