Promises We Meant To Keep by Monica Murphy (Paperback)

Charlotte knows what it means to break someone she loves. Spencer Donato was once her first everything—first love, first kiss, first person to make her feel safe and wanted. Their romance at Lancaster Prep was intense and unforgettable, built on stolen moments and the thrill of keeping their feelings secret. She believed they were unshakeable, until she made a choice that destroyed his trust and ended the future they imagined together.

Years have passed, but regret still clings to her like a shadow. When Charlotte attends her brother’s wedding, the last person she expects to see is Spencer. He’s changed. Sharper. Colder. A man carved from old wounds and new strength. The boy who adored her has become someone harder to read, but the way he looks at her still sends heat through her veins.

Spencer hasn’t forgotten the hurt she caused, nor has he stopped wanting answers. Their reunion forces them to confront what was left unsaid, what was taken, and what they both still feel, no matter how much it hurts. Charlotte wants forgiveness and a second chance. Spencer wants truth, closure, and maybe the future they lost. But wanting each other again means risking heartbreak all over. Love between them never died—but trust must be rebuilt, and this time, they must decide if they are worth saving.
