The addictive story of second chances and star-crossed love by the TikTok phenomenon, Monica Murphy.

Promises We Meant To Keep follows the story of Spencer Donato, my brother's best friend and my dirty little secret. We fell for each other at Lancaster Prep, sneaking around, not wanting anyone to find out. He was my first love. We were made for each other, and I truly believed he was my forever.

But then I did the unthinkable and betrayed him. I thought I lost him for good... until I saw him at my brother's wedding. Now he's older, crueler, unbearably handsome. We're drawn to each other still, but will Spencer be there when I need him the most? Or did I ruin us once again?
