Promise Me This: Sprayed Edge Edition by Karla Sorensen (Paperback)

A small-town friends-to-lovers romance where old history, timing and hidden feelings collide under one roof. An author struggling with writer’s block returns home seeking stability for herself and her daughter, only to find herself sharing space with her childhood best friend. What should have been a simple arrangement quickly becomes far more complicated as familiarity gives way to unresolved emotion.

Ian Wilder has always been a constant presence in her past, tied to childhood promises and quiet moments of care that never fully faded. Now, years later, he is still the same steady force, but with an added intensity that is impossible to ignore. Living under the same roof forces both of them to confront what they left unsaid, as everyday interactions begin to shift into something deeper.

As the deadline looms and life pressures mount, the comfort of friendship starts to blur into something more charged. Every shared moment builds tension, making it harder to maintain boundaries that once felt simple. With a young child also part of their shared world, the stakes feel even more personal as emotions begin to surface that neither of them expected to face.

Set in a close-knit small town filled with family ties and history, this story explores connection, timing and the risk of changing a relationship that has lasted a lifetime.

Perfect for readers who enjoy friends to lovers romance, small-town settings, single parent stories, slow burn chemistry and forced proximity love stories.
