Promise Me (Sinful Manor #2) by Sara Cate

For years, Declan Barclay and Colin Shelby kept things simple: summer flings, zero strings, and a friendship that always felt like more. But when Colin returns to the grand halls of Barclay Manor—this time, with a wedding on the horizon and a ring for someone else—old sparks reignite, and Declan’s heart is thrown straight into overtime.

Fifteen years ago, Declan left for university, determined to chase his dreams and escape his family’s expectations. He never expected to meet Colin, the gentle, talented actor who quickly became his closest confidant—and, eventually, the one who got away after a single night changed everything.

Now, with just one week until Colin says “I do” (to someone else!), Declan faces the ultimate dilemma: stay silent and let his true love slip away forever, or take a leap, risk it all, and ask Colin to choose him instead. With his family counting on him to pull off the wedding of the season at Barclay Manor, Declan has seven days to rewrite their story—if he’s brave enough to try.
