ABOUT THE BOOK
Wyoming Territory 1870:
Jenna never planned on getting married again, not only because her first husband
had been a brutal monster, but because no man would want a crippled barren woman,
but when fate sends her a helpless little baby to love, Jenna vows to do whatever
she needs to in order to keep her daughter, even marrying Clint McKinnely. Big,
dark and simmering with a deadly intensity, the exotically handsome ex marshal
could put fear into the devil. He certainly strikes fear into her, but though
she accepts his offer of marriage in the same practical vein it's made, Jenna
soon discovers the man behind the reputation is a man like no other. A man to
whom a woman could trust her heart.
Clint McKinnely is a man made hard by life, burned out by the choices he's
made, looking for a reason to go on. He finds one in Jenna Hennessy. Lushly plump,
sweet and shy, innocent in ways that have nothing to do with inexperience, she
calls to him on the deepest levels. Still, he never would have touched her except
for the vagaries of fate. When the town fathers threaten to take away the daughter
she loves, Clint steps forward. While he can't offer Jenna love, he can offer
her a home in which to raise the baby and the child the protection that comes
with being a McKinnely. Having Jenna and Brianna in his home brings Clint a peace
and satisfaction he's never known before, but even as he ferrets out the secrets
that haunt Jenna's nightmares, Clint keeps his own close to his chest, knowing
this is temporary, because even though Jenna is a woman with an incredibly generous
heart, there are just some sins a woman can't be expected to forgive.

"Without a doubt, Promises Prevail has taken my breath away with its deeply

"PROMISES PREVAIL is one of the most heart warming, compassionate, love stories
that I have ever read. Sarah McCarty is a truly gifted writer and I can’t
wait to see what she has in store for her readers next." —Dina
5 STARS!!! -Ecataromance
"Sarah McCarty delivers again with Promises Prevail, the newest in the Promises
series. With her usual flair she has created a powerfully erotic, emotional, and
thought provoking romance that draws you in from the first chapter and refuses
to let go, keeping you wishing for more even after the story ends. I laughed,
cried, shivered and moaned. Clint and Jenna are so full of life that you can’t
help losing yourself in their story. Promises Prevail is unquestionably a 10 on
the sizzle scale." —Rowan

ROMANCES
"The addition of Jenna in Clint’s story unveils another level of the
depth of this wonderful author. In each of her stories Ms. McCarty unveils a story
of not only survival, but of how the human soul can endure and, with one great
love, rise to a higher level than ever imagined. Each character is so well written
and enduring for the reader. Jenna is by far the most complex of all Ms. McCarty’s
characters and shows the depth of her own personal growth as a writer. If the
reader is not interested in a story of the deepest, truest love, there is a smattering
of humor which also shows the breadth of the author’s talent as well as
some of the most toe curling, hottest love scenes written. As this reviewer read
some of the passages in PROMISES PREVAIL I was sure that the pages were going
to catch on fire from the heat! PROMISES PREVAIL is another do not miss in the
Promises series – as with each of the books it is a stand alone, but the
reader will want to read them all." —Gina
JOYFULLY REVIEWED
"Promises Prevail, third in the Promises series, is a very sexy, beautifully
written story. It is full of deep emotion. Wonderfully descriptive, I was quickly
drawn into the story by the characters and the obstacles they face. This is a
very steamy book. Sarah McCarty blends the perfect combination of a terrific storyline,
really in depth characterization, and rousing sex scenes. Promises Prevail, as
well as all of Sarah's work, is a must read!" —Nannette
