Lauren Fairfield abhors her life. Transplanted to England from Texas when her mother remarried a wonderful man, Lauren has endured ridicule for her manners, drawl and lack of knowledge about English aristocratic life. Lauren and her sisters remove all traces of Texas with hard study and the help of their stepfather. Lauren is the exemplary English lady, reserved and polite. That façade cracks when the new Earl of Sachse appears at her door.

Society is all agog at the arrival from Texas of Tom Warren, the new Earl of Sachse. An Englishman by birth but abandoned in America, Tom grew up fast and wild as he survived the hard Wild West. At 16, he ran afoul of the law but had the good fortune to meet a marshal who set him on the right path. Now, Tom's life has taken another dramatic turn. He's the lost Earl of Sachse and appears in London ready to take up his new responsibilities. Before he can begin, there's one young woman he resolves to find. She's his first love, Lauren Fairfield, who left and never responded to his letters.

Tom and Lauren's reunion is painful as they discover the deception that's kept them apart. Lauren believes too much time has passed and her place is to return to Texas, while Tom makes a new life for himself in England. He refuses to give up and dares her to change him into an English gentleman. She reluctantly agrees, knowing the brazen cowboy she once loved will then be transformed into a sterile Englishman. It's up to Tom to break through her reserve and set her aflame with his kisses and love.

PROMISE ME FOREVER is a poignant tale of a woman who must choose between her love of a place and its memories or accepting that change is inevitable and embrace the man she loves. Ms. Heath closes her story with a tender summary of Tom and Lauren's life together.
