Engineering Series #1: The Unmet Promise

Abbydon Innocencio is a bestselling author of tragic fiction, a career she built to escape the "Clown Face" of her real life, a childhood of emotional abuse masked by a perfect family facade. Now 22 and successful, she uses her fame as armor, still haunted by the bitter echoes of her mother's voice.

At the urging of her manager, Abby enters a series of blind dates with four elite engineers. She rejects them all as arrogant or hollow until she meets the mysterious fifth candidate, Jameson Apollo Dela Cruz.

Unlike the others, Jameson doesn't care about accolades; he "reads between the lines" of her books, calling out her success as a cage for the traumatized girl still living inside her.

After a night of drinking and brutal honesty, Abby wakes up in Jameson's penthouse, forced to face the only man who sees the storm beneath her celebrity.

As the ink dries in her past, will Abby finally find the courage to stop writing about her tragedies and start living a story where she is truly free, or is she destined to remain a prisoner of the promises that were never kept?
