author: Adams, Marthella
description: Vienna could see his reflection in the large, slanted mirror on the wall behind the counter. He was a large man with dark hair, and from what she could see, he was very good looking. After a few moments of looking him over, she realized he was staring back at her through the mirror. She felt a rush of heat run up her neck and into her cheeks. Vienna Horton, a painter, is ready for a change from her hectic life in New York City. Her plan is to drive until she feels like shes home. At a diner in Promise Valley, Oregon, Vienna thinks she has found what shes looking for. When she picks up a twelve-year-old runaway named Mary, Vienna immediately falls in love with her and knows she must find a home soon if she hopes to make Mary a permanent part of her life.

When his feelings for Vienna develop into more than mere friendship, he must reveal to her the secrets of his less-than-savory past. Unbeknownst to him, Vienna harbors secrets as well. Is Rawley and Viennas love deep enough to withstand the past? Will Vienna be able to adopt the girl she has come to think of as her daughter? Will Vienna, Rawley, and Mary experience the Fulfilled Promises they so deeply desire?
