What We Promised

De: Q.B. Tyler

Twelve years of silence shattered by one truth: The best man has always loved the bride. Now she must choose between her vows and her heart.

Minutes before I walk down the aisle, I discover my fiancé, Elijah, cheated on me.

He slept with someone else at his bachelor party three months ago.

When his brother, Julian—my best friend since college—learns I know the truth, he confesses a secret of his own, something that changes everything: He’s been in love with me for twelve years.

I’ve always felt the same, but I buried those feelings, convinced he’d never love me back.

What happens next in the bridal suite is reckless. Impulsive. Forbidden. Everything I’ve wanted since the day we met. One moment of passion that makes an impossible situation even more complicated.

Now I’m facing an unthinkable choice: the man I made promises to, or the one I’ve wanted all along. Walking away from either brother means destroying more than just a marriage—it means tearing a family apart.

But Elijah’s betrayal runs deeper than I know.

And nothing can prepare me for what he’ll do to keep me.
