PROMISES Now Available in Hard Copy
   An image of the cover of the Commercial Women's fiction, Promises, by E. G. Lewis. The cover is a New York street scene with tall buildings and parking garages on either side. Straight ahead, in the center of the photo, is an un-obstructed view of the Empire State Building rising above the skyline.

A Recipe for Trouble

  • Take one jilted Supermodel on the rebound
  • Add an unscrupulous businessman who'll do anything to save his floundering business
  • Agitate until both are steaming, then keep at a low simmer

    When looking for love sometimes you find it,
    ...and sometimes you don't!

    Smooth as a sip of Kentucky Bourbon, PROMISES eases you into Kentucky's Appalachian hill country. That wonderfully wild place of mountains and hollows, creeks and rivers, with its hardscrabble life and whiteboard churches where roots go deep, family matters, and Granny Wright's never wrong. A place where King Coal still rules and beneath its veneer of respectability lies a hidden web of treachery.

    Mary Jane Combs may have gotten her Momma's good looks, but her strong-willed determination came straight from Daddy. Growing up in Kentucky she dreamed of a simple life with a loving husband, a home of her own, and healthy kids.

    Instead she's become an international Supermodel, swapping the Appalachian coal country for New York City's Upper West Side and traveling the world in her private jet. But she'll need all the determination she can muster when her ex-husband sets out to destroy everything she's accomplished.

    But two questions remain to be answered: Can she do what needs to be done and still remain true to the promises she made at her mother's deathbed? And when the dust settles, will she at last find the loving relationship she always dreamed of as a girl?


    Praise for PROMISES—

    "This is one of those rare books that just keeps getting better and better. The scattered sex scenes are tasteful and relevant to the story. I especially enjoyed them since they were frequently humorous as well. I loved the image of a strong woman standing on her principles and bringing down an evil man without losing herself in the process. Have a box of tissues handy. If little Trevor's persistent search for a stepmom doesn't get to you, the feel-good ending surely will."
