Description
Tanner Harlow is a talented landscape designer, quietly building a name and a solid future when he finds himself needing to be the temporary guardian to his eleven-year-old half-sister. Tanner loves her, but can’t see himself as a father figure or imagine how he’s going to build his business during his busiest season with a child in tow until his newest client—his high school crush who still makes his heart pound—has a proposition that will help them both as long as Tanner can resist the tempting lure of the girl next door.
Elementary school teacher Francie Tate moved back to Marietta to be close to her ailing father. She plans to settle in and fix up her little bungalow before the school year starts, but definitely needs help with the neglected yard. She’s shocked when the landscaper she hired turns out to be a class mate. Tanner used to be shy in school, but he isn't the same kid anymore–he’s tall, sexy, and has the most striking brown eyes she's ever seen. When Francie learns of Tanner’s need for child care, she impulsively offers to watch his half-sister for the summer in return for some landscaping and renovations around the house.
It seems like a win-win, but Francie didn’t bargain on falling in love.

5By sbsbrinsonTanner and Francie’s story began in high school. A homecoming queen and the kid from the other side of town that bullied by all the kids in school. They meet up 10 years later and love blossoms but is hard fought. Enjoy the ups and downs of their romance.Beautifully written, emotional story
5By penny42058This is the first book I’ve read by Kaylie Newell, but it definitely won’t be my last. I really enjoyed reading reading Tanner’s Promise. This book is about Tanner and Francie. Tanner has the responsibility of taking care of his kid sister, Maddie, after their mother dies. He’s just started his landscaping business and he knows he can’t take her to every job. When he goes to a client’s house, he’s surprised it’s Francie, the girl he secretly loved in high school. Others may have known about his feelings for her, but she didn’t. Francie suggests that Maddie stay with her while Tanner works and he can knock some off what she owes him. I’m not going to leave any spoilers, but I will say this is a beautifully written, emotional story that will have you falling in love with Tanner. I can’t wait to read Luke and Judd’s stories, Tanner’s brothers.
