Lily is five years old, with a giggle that lights up every room and a wild imagination that turns hospital beds into pirate ships. But everything changes the day she learns a word far too big for someone her age: cancer. As her world fills with doctors, needles, and treatments, one thing remains constant-her dad's promise: "You're going to be okay, Lily. I promise." Promise is a heartfelt story about the unshakable bond between a father and daughter, and the weight of words spoken in love. Lily's dad clings fiercely to his vow, doing everything in his power to keep hope alive, even when the odds seem stacked against them. Her mother struggles to hold the family together, balancing fear and hope, while Lily bravely faces each day with the innocence and curiosity only a child can have. Told with tenderness and honesty, Promise captures the moments that matter-whispers in the dark, bedtime stories that become lifelines, and small victories that mean everything. It's a journey of laughter and heartbreak, where love fights to fill the spaces that fear leaves behind. For readers of Room and The Fault in Our Stars, Promise is an unforgettable story of hope, resilience, and the promises we make to the people we love most-even when we're not sure we can keep them.

COMPLETED Living a life you didn't sign up for is hard, but doing so while feeling lost is harder. Dylan Amity is a musical prodigy. He could play a range of instruments, from the electric guitar to his violin. He lived, ate, and breathed music and was on track to becoming the orchestra's lead violinist. He was ready to become one of history's best composers. But he decided to place his dreams on hold for a while when he found out that his dad, the CEO of Amity Industry, was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer. His dad's death was expected, but the way he died wasn't. After the reading of the will, Dylan is faced with the harsh reality that you don't always get what you want. Following a short period of grief, Dylan is thrust into a world of business, responsibilities, and guardianship. He never wanted to be CEO, but now he has to because it's what his dad wanted. He also never expected to be Amber's, his thirteen-year-old sister's, legal guardian. Dylan has to put his dreams aside as he learns to navigate his new life without any experience of being a CEO or a guardian. Without a guide, Dylan is bound to feel lost, but maybe Rose could help. Maybe she could teach him how to deal with it. ••• Sneak Peek: "You know what, Amber? At least I'm fucking trying!" I gritted out, meeting her eyes that practically blazed with fury. "Yeah! Trying to act like papa. But guess what, Dylan, you never cared about me or what I did!" She screamed, taking steps back towards the stairs. "You never cared when I was a baby, you didn't care when I was a toddler, and guess what! You don't care now. You're only pretending to care to make yourself feel better. But you don't! No one fucking cares."
