The Story

About the Book

He left town to get over her. Nearly a decade later, he's back — and marrying her for convenience. A protective Marine, the girl he never stopped loving, and a marriage that's becoming much too real.

Hunter Dawson left town nearly a decade ago with two goals: serve his country and get over Ellie James. He accomplished exactly one of them.

Now he's back in Starlight Valley—and Ellie is the one thing he never managed to leave behind.

Ellie James never imagined she'd be back at her parents' house—pregnant, overwhelmed, and recovering from an abusive marriage. The last thing she expects is for Hunter—the boy who always made her feel safe—to walk back into her life.

When Ellie is in need of protection, Hunter is willing to do just about anything to provide it. A marriage of convenience seems like the perfect solution.

Publicly, they're the ideal couple. But privately? It's getting harder to remember where the act ends and the truth begins.

Promise You the Moon is a clean marriage-of-convenience romance set in the charming mountain town of Starlight Valley, featuring longtime pining, small-town charm, swoony kisses, and just enough danger to keep things interesting—but not too much to keep you up at night.

Content Notes

This is a clean, kisses-only romance with plenty of lighthearted, comedic moments — but it also touches a few sensitive topics worth knowing before you dive in:

  • Vague, recurring mentions of Ellie's previous verbal and physical abuse by her ex-husband. Future books in this series don't revisit this topic.
  • Ellie is pregnant in this story, so there are fairly detailed descriptions of labor, delivery, and breastfeeding.
  • One brief, clinical conversation about intercourse between Ellie and her obstetrician, intended to be humorous rather than explicit.
