Promise Me

By Sara Cate
Promise Me by Sara Cate digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

He let him get away once… Now he has seven days to get him back.

Fifteen years ago, Declan Barclay left for uni with plans of becoming an artist and escaping his family's heavy rule. What he didn't expect was to meet a soft and enigmatic actor in desperate need of guidance…and a friend. Declan quickly took Colin Shelby under his wing and the two were inseparable ever since.

That is until the night before graduation, when lines were crossed and everything changed. 

Now, after years apart, Colin is back in Declan's life, but he's not alone. He's made a promise to marry someone else, and Declan only has seven days to win back the love of his life. There's just one problem: His family is counting on him to pull this wedding off at Barclay Manor.

With just one week until vows are exchanged, Declan must decide—stay silent and lose Colin for good, or risk everything and ask the one who got away to promise him forever.

Promise Me Reviews

4.5
“OMG that was so good. The tension, the angst, the yearning. Such a perfect friends to lovers story. Declan and Colin's story will live rent free in my head. They have a long history and we get to see both past and present in their story. I absolutely loved it! Huge thanks to Netgalley for this ARC!”
“This MM second-chance, best-friends-to-lovers story wrecked me in the best way. Dual POV + dual timeline means you really feel every choice, every missed moment, every what-if between Colin and Declan. One’s an artist, one’s an actor, and when they finally push past “just friends”? Emotional chaos (the good kind). The romance is spicy, yes—but it’s also tender, messy, and deeply healing. Declan helps Colin find his voice, and Colin helps Declan stitch himself back together. Watching them grow individually and together was chef’s kiss. The epilogue HEA? Straight-up beautiful. This is book two, but it works totally fine as a standalone—and now I’m emotionally invested in the whole Barclay crew. Consider me seated for the next one.”
