Some promises break. Some houses remember.
Seven years ago, Callum Vale walked away from Amelia Hart the day before their wedding.
No explanation. No goodbye. No chance for her to ask why.
Now Amelia is a wedding photographer who knows exactly when love becomes performance. She has built a life out of capturing other people's promises while refusing to look too closely at the one that destroyed her. Then a high-profile wedding brings her back to Lantern House-the storm-lashed coastal estate where Callum still lives, where their future once waited, and where every room seems to remember what happened.
Amelia plans to do the job, keep her distance, and leave with her heart intact.
But Lantern House has other plans.
Buried documents surface. An old photograph tells a story Callum never did. Her mother's name appears on a debt tied to the Vale family. And the man Amelia thought had simply broken her heart may have been hiding a truth that began long before either of them fell in love.
As a wedding weekend unravels under secrets, rain, and old family guilt, Amelia must decide whether the truth can change the past-or whether some betrayals are too deep for love to survive.
The Promise He Broke is the first book in The Lantern House Romances, a haunting, emotional romantic mystery about second chances, family secrets, and the courage it takes to choose truth over the life you were told to live.
