Bestselling author Debbie Macomber continues to delight readers with her  heartwarming Heart of Texas series withReturn to Promise. Back on  familiar ground, Macomber reintroduces us to favorite characters from earlier  volumes, including Cal Patterson and his wife, Jane. Married for several years,  Jane has severely cut back her medical practice to raise their two small  children while Cal continues to ranch. But when Jane and the children take an  extended trip to California to nurse her ailing father, Cal becomes the target  of an attractive newcomer in town, hot-to-trot Nicole Nelson. Jane returns to  Promise as rumors surface about the time Cal spent with Nicole while the cat...  uh, Jane... was away. Disagreements and doubts escalate, leading to Jane and  Cal's separation, Jane heading back to her parents' home in California with  their children. Alone, Cal is forced for the first time in his marriage to  think, really think, about what he wants and needs his life to be. The prolific  Macomber answers fans' cries for "more, more, more" Promise, Texas, with her  true and sometimes painful portrayal of life and love after the initial rush of  hormones passes.--Alison Trinkle
