PROMISE OF THE DAWN
In-between Series #1
----
Kiesha Mendez grew up believing that love meant staying and that promises were meant to be kept.
But at a young age, she learned the opposite.
She experienced the harsh truth of life too soon - betrayal, mistreatment, and quiet cruelty-bullying. She was left behind by the very people who once promised they never would. She was hurt, bullied, and broken in silence.
And yet, she never fought back.
Not because she was weak, but because she believed that sometimes, the strongest way to survive is to endure.
Now a sophomore in college, Kiesha is quieter, more guarded. She no longer trusts easily. She no longer believes in words that sound too good to be true.
Until someone unexpected walks into her life.
A man who doesn't just promise - but stays.
Who doesn't just say he loves her - but proves it.
Who is willing to fight for her, even when she no longer knows how to fight for herself.
But if love is built on promises...
Will she dare to believe again?
This time will someone finally stay?
