Promise Me

He let him get away once... Now he has seven days to get him back.

Fifteen years ago, Declan Barclay left for uni with plans of becoming an artist and escaping his family's heavy rule. What he didn't expect was to meet a soft and enigmatic actor in desperate need of guidance...and a friend. Declan quickly took Colin Shelby under his wing and the two were inseparable ever since.

That is until the night before graduation, when lines were crossed and everything changed.

Now, after years apart, Colin is back in Declan's life, but he's not alone. He's made a promise to marry someone else, and Declan only has seven days to win back the love of his life. There's just one problem: His family is counting on him to pull this wedding off at Barclay Manor.

With just one week until vows are exchanged, Declan must decide--stay silent and lose Colin for good, or risk everything and ask the one who got away to promise him forever.
