Promise

Leo Byrne is a cop, and Jason Banks is an ex-con. Even after one stolen kiss, something has to give before Leo can convince Jason that falling in love is an option.

Adopted young, Leo is part of the sprawling Byrnes family. With his dog Cap, three siblings, and a whole mess of nieces and nephews, he is never lonely, and his life is full. Love is the last item on his to-do list, but seeing his best friends Sean and Eric happy and making new families makes him want things he doesn’t think is possible. Kissing Jason at an event to honor his bravery was one thing, but anything else is off-limits. Until Jason has no one left to turn to, and it’s Leo who helps him at his lowest. Taking Jason and his daughter into his home is one thing, but falling for the ex-con is something else altogether.

Jason made a deal to keep his daughter safe and spent years behind bars as a result. Volunteering as a convict firefighter was as much about helping the community as saving his sanity, but now that he’s out, he doesn’t even have that. He’s lost his future and his self-respect and has no friends or a place to call home. Worst of all, even after rescuing his daughter, he still can’t keep her safe from the man who wants to use her as a bargaining chip for money. Meeting Leo might give Jason a way to keep Daisy safe, but falling for the stubborn cop means the truth must be revealed, and he could lose everything again.
