Promise Me

"Here you go, miss?"
"Bianca. Bianca Nastasi."
"Bianca. White. Like the snow."
"Yes, that's right. Not as pure though, I'm afraid."
He grinned at her boldness. She put the cup to her lips and sipped at it carefully.
"I'm Daniel Walker. I own this store."

When Daniel Walker's wife, Amy, died in a freak accident, he gave up on love. He bought Joe's Grocery & Deli, and transformed it into "The Christmas Store" to honour her, and her love of Christmas. One snowy night, a woman knocks on the door. Daniel is immediately taken with the dark-haired beauty. Bianca is in possession of a key. She traveled from Toronto to Ottawa to unravel the mystery behind the magic relic. She didn't think she would fall in love along the way. When she is diagnosed with a terminal illness, what choices will she make to preserve their love? Is Daniel her future or will she leave him in the past? Does magic have limitations? Set between 1980 and 1990, "Promise Me" is "a most unusual love story, and one you won't soon forget."

He could hear the sound of her voice, and he tried to recall the message in her words, elusive now. The pain intensified and he rested on one knee. The pressure between his ears was killing him, and then like a flash of lightning, another memory surfaced. He was in bed, alone. Someone, not Amy, was leaning over him, telling him that she loved him.

This romance is two books in one. Part Two is partially set in Italy. For time travel fans and fans of Richard Paul Evans.
