Karen pretty much accepted her lot in life. Until the
first day of school when she saw him standing in the back
of her third grade classroom. It turns out Michael had a
daughter in her class, Jennifer. They began seeing each
other. Karen couldn't have picked a better man if she had
tried, and Jennifer was just the icing on the cake. On
this particular day, Jennifer is a bit clingy, raising
Karen's suspicions. After her day of being a teacher is
over, Karen goes home and changes to have dinner with
Michael and Jennifer. After dinner, Michael finally tells
Karen he's in love with her and asks her to make him a
promise. Michael makes Karen promise she will trust him
and believe in him, regardless of what she finds out. The next day, Jennifer isn't at school. When she doesn't
hear from Michael all day, Karen decides to go by his
house after school. When she gets there, she finds the
house empty and everything except the furniture gone! Now
she doesn't know what to think. The night before he
professes his love for her and now he's gone? The next
morning when she arrives at the school, the principal
takes her into his office and introduces her to two men.
The two men are FBI agents and are looking for Michael, or
Michel Borbeau. It turns out Michel is wanted for the
murder of his wife's lover! Karen can't believe this! What does Karen do? Will she forget Michael? Or will she
remember her promise to trust him? Will she try to help
prove his innocence? A PROMISE TO KEEP is a thrilling suspense-filled story,
packed with non-stop action. Ann Durand has done a
wonderful job of bringing her characters to life in each
page of this story. Clarice Borbeau is a woman very easy

attempts to find Michael and do something to help him. As
she finds herself becoming more and more involved in
trying to prove Michael's innocence, she is also putting
herself in danger. If you enjoy romantic suspense, you
