Publisher's summary

A love story that will break your heart. Perfect for fans of Karen Swann and Lulu Taylor.

Some bonds can never be broken.

One terrible moment changes everything for teenagers Kate and David. Brought together during the darkest of times of the Troubles, a spark of hope is ignited between them - a hand held in the darkness, a promise whispered. Neither of them will ever forget those moments.

It’s another 10 years before David and Kate meet once more, and their lives are now so different. The promise they made to each other on that fateful day still binds them, but now they have so much more to lose.

With so much at stake, have they missed their once chance at happiness? They only way they will ever know is to risk everything to be together. Is that too high a price to pay for love?

like a broken record

This book was not what I thought it was going to be. it felt like I was hearing the same dialog over and over in whatever situation we found the main characters in. "I will always love you, no matter what, you are my soul mate blah blah blah.."
I had a hard time cheering for David and Kate while he was not showing any integrity having if not a physical affair with Kate while engaged he was certainly having an emotional affair.
I found Kate kind of annoying and both of them selfish. I finally turned up the speed so I could get through the book faster 😉
