Promises (Davis Crest Trilogy Book 1)

Two eras. One California mountain town. A legacy waiting to be claimed.

Rebecca never planned to come home.
At twenty-two, pregnant and heartbroken, she left New York and returned to Davis Crest, the sleepy mountain town she'd been so desperate to escape. Now she runs the local coffee shop, raises her daughter, and chooses safety over hope.
But when she inherits an old journal—and begins to fall for the real estate developer she'd labeled the enemy—Rebecca must question everything she thought she knew, and risk the heart she locked away long ago.

In 1852, Mary Davis arrives in California, pulled along by her father's promises of gold and glory. When those promises turn to ash, her mother Amelia refuses to surrender. Armed with a map and an iron will, Amelia leads her three daughters into the mountains to build a life on their own terms.
In a place where women are not meant to own land, claim power, or shape history, the Davis women will do all three. But for Mary, survival will come at a cost—and a promise made in the mountains will echo for generations.
As Rebecca reads Mary's journal and uncovers the truth behind Davis Crest's founding sisters, she's faced with a choice: keep living the story she inherited, or find the courage to write her own.
