Sarah watched Arima weave across the room, mumbling to herself about keys. This was . . . unbelievable. It couldn’t be happening. She seemed sincere but was there a catch? ‘Arima. Wait!’
‘Yeah?’ Arima swayed in the doorway, feeling dead on her feet.
‘Promise me you’re serious about this. Promise.’
‘I promise.’
Can any good come from the promise made between two close friends, Sarah and Arima? Will their friendship endure the trials that follow their life-changing pact? Or will the unforeseen consequences destroy them both?

The second in the Lipstick Confession series, The Promise, follows the story of one man and two women: Sarah desperate for a child and free spirit Arima, who belongs to nothing and no one. Or so she thinks...

"Claire Connor and G. P. Taylor's storytelling is flawless as they explore the profound heartache of families facing childlessness."
