 
ABOUT THE BOOK
Wyoming Territory 1869:
Being kidnapped into a bordello has a way of changing a woman’s focus.
On the day Mara Kincaid escapes the Pleasure Emporium, she vows to start living
for herself. Rebuilding her life isn’t easy as the town isn’t fond
of reformed fallen doves, but she’s a Kincaid and Kincaids are known for
their stubbornness. She’s successful right up until the notorious ex-marshal
Cougar McKinnley comes into town.
As big as a mountain, dark as sin, and wearing a reputation as deadly as the
knife strapped to his thigh, McKinnley is a man who knows what he wants. By rights,
she should be shaking in her shoes when he approaches her, but when the powerful
half-breed turns his dark gold eyes on her, it isn’t fear that has Mara
trembling, but rather an overwhelming desire to be the kind of woman Cougar needs
to satisfy his deepest desires.

REVIEWER'S CHOICE AWARD! -eCataRomance
"Ms. McCarty has created a wonderful pair in Mara, with her fragile looks,
but steely determination, and Cougar, the oh, so tender tough guy (ultra alpha
alert here!), who captures her heart. Mmmmm. ... if you thought that Asa from
Promises Linger was hot, just wait to you meet Cougar. He’ll melt the keys
right off your computer and reduce you to a puddle of longing." —Dawn

Angel Reviews
"Sarah McCarty’s Promises Keep is one of the hottest, toe curling reads
this reviewer has seen yet. ...Cougar simmers off the very pages and is a character
that stays with the reader not only day and night during the read, but afterwards
he remains almost an archetype of a man many women can only dream of meeting.
.. Mara’s character is fabulously written. Her emotional growth through
the story is absorbing as she moves from a frightened waif-like young woman to
one that is strong, determined and self-assured.... Promises Keep is a mesmerizing
and enthralling read that will leave the reader wanting more." —Regan
CAPA BEST HISTORICAL EROTIC! - THE
ROMANCE STUDIO
"The kind of hero every woman dreams of, Cougar is all male and wicked in
the bedroom. The fact that the author, Sarah McCarty, can take the worst circumstance
a man and a women could start of with, and turn it into a moving love story shows
McCarty’s talent.. She is able to gradually build the sexual tension between
Cougar and Mara into a believable culmination of lovemaking. And the ending made
me cry! Sweet and hot, PROMISES KEEP delivers everything!" —Jennifer

book in PROMISES KEEP... Ms. McCarty's vivid, realistic western setting and strong,
unique characters bring the story to life, while also weaving together action,

with its intense sexuality... PROMISES KEEP is a great read that I recommend to
fans of westerns and good, strong, fast-paced romance." —Enyan
