Bittersweet Promises

'Eskauldun Fededun'—the Basque is faithful. Words Zak de Neuville engraved inside the ring he gave Tess O'Reilly when he promised to love her forever then disappeared without a word.Now Zak's back in Baker's Creek. Tess too has returned to Baker's Creek to help her ailing father. After a lengthy estrangement because of Zak she's come home to rebuild the relationship she and her father once had, and she has no intention of getting involved with Zak again. The problem is, time has done nothing to temper the white-hot flame that's once again building.
