Following the deaths of her brother and then her parents, Kelsey
Bancroft put her life and dreams on hold. Three years later, Kelsey is still
struggling financially to hold on to the last links she has to her family. She
doesn’t need or want any distractions, especially not any distractions named
Drew McKenzie. At the age of ten, Kelsey fell in love and decided someday she’d
marry Drew, her older brother’s best friend. Although Kelsey long ago abandoned
the silly fantasy, Drew has always occupied a special place in her heart.
The day before Ian Bancroft
lost his battle with cancer, star quarterback Drew McKenzie promised his best
friend he’d look out for his younger sister. Until recently, he assumed his
monthly phone calls to Kelsey were enough. Now that he knows differently, he’s
moved back to North Salem, determined help Kelsey whether she wants his
assistance or not. But just how far will Drew go to keep a promise to his best
friend?
