Beyond the Promise Kindle Edition

A spellbinding novel of the Pacific Northwest. Set in the magnificent Oregon ranching country, BEYOND THE PROMISE explores the powerful ties that bind families together, the wrenching conflicts that tear them apart, and the passions that drive one unforgettable woman to risk everything for a destiny more surprising than her wildest dreams.

Cat Browning's moment of triumph has finally come in a Boston courtroom. A brilliant young lawyer with a promising future, she's just won her first big criminal case. But the painful realization that her skills have gotten a murderer off scott-free make her question the direction her life has taken. Putting her ambitions on the back burner, she decides to join her best friend Annie on a vacation in the tiny town of Cougar Valley, Oregon -- 3,000 miles and a world away.

While the majestic splendor of eastern Oregon's ranch lands and the warm intimacy of small-town life cast a spell on Cat, it is her idyllic romance with the irresistible Scott McCullough, Cougar Valley's golden boy, that truly captures her heart. Cat is smitten, yet chooses to chalk it up to a whirlwind romance -- until Scott turns up on her Boston doorstep to take her back to the place she so quickly learned to love.

A sweeping novel from a master storyteller, BEYOND THE PROMISE takes readers into a world of natural beauty and savage elements, of love and loss, laughter and tears -- where one remarkable heroine must find the passionate determination to embrace her most intimate dreams, and the wisdom to know where her heart truly lies.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Badly in need of a vacation, successful New York attorney Cat Browning accepts a friend's invitation to rural eastern Oregon and ends up being swept off her feet by the charming son of a local rancher. But when tragedy strikes and Cat finds herself both widowed and pregnant, she stays in Oregon, eventually falling in love once more?this time with her rugged, caring father-in-law. Fast paced and well crafted, this compelling story is an intriguing blend of women's fiction and romance, combining action with a remarkable love story in an unusual, but definitely rural American setting. Readers who enjoyed Nora Roberts's Montana Sky might like this one. Bickmore (Deep in the Heart, Kensington, 1996) lives in Mexico.

5.0 out of 5 stars A page turner for sure!!

This book was very different from her first novels "East of the Sun", "Distant Stat" etc. This was the first book of Ms. Bickmore's where the time frame was current(that I have read-I think there is one other one). I loved it. I wanted the story to go and on. I have to say the end was a complete curve for me but I hate it when reviewers give away plot points so I won't go into detail. The book did deal with some heavy topics but the author does it in a way you seem to be able to relate and understand the situation if you have never even done so in real life. Great read and I would suggest it to anyone. I am sad that I only have one book of Ms. Bickmore's left to read.....

I would have enjoyed this book far more had there not been countless spelling mistakes and typos. Does nobody proof read before its published? 😕
