Promises

Law and Disorder #3

by C.E. Mathis

Molly works at the office of the New York County Defender Services part time, while she tries to navigate law school. But when a stranger shows up and she struggles to focus on anything other than him.

Will Harvey has never been a reliable person. He doesn't stick around for long periods of time and rarely shows up when needed. So, what has him staying in New York City longer than ever before? And what is he hiding from everyone around him?

When Will meets Molly, he must decide what's most important to him. Can he be the man he's always wanted to be without breaking his promises to her?

About the author

C.E. Mathis started reading romance novels at the suggestion of a friend. Having always been a fan of realistic fantasy, she loved books that felt like she could find herself in similar situations. When the stories she read never turned out the way she wanted, C.E. decided to write her own.

In her spare time, when she's not reading or writing, C.E. Mathis loves action films, old television shows, all things crime and spending time with her two rescue dogs.

Will is self-loathing but very sure of himself. Molly is confident and goal driven. She doesn’t want anything to distract her from her dreams, but that’s exactly what she gets. A distraction. C.E. Mathis’s descriptions of feelings and the environment is so well done. Ready to see what happens next!
