Picking up where Gabriel’s Redemption left off, Gabriel’s Promise follows Professor Gabriel Emerson and his wife, Julia, during their first year of parenthood to their newborn daughter, Clare. While on paternity leave from his teaching position at Boston University, Gabriel receives an unexpected invitation for a prestigious guest lectureship in Scotland. It’s a dream come true, but he decides to hide the invitation from Julia, worried about the strain his absence may place on his wife, who has already sacrificed an entire semester of graduate studies to maternity leave.
But Julia has secrets of her own. After complications related to her emergency caesarean section force her to further delay her studies at Harvard, Julia develops strange symptoms she can’t explain. As her condition continues to worsen, she realizes that she’ll have to tell Gabriel before he leaves the country, even though she knows it will jeopardize his ambitions and professional reputation, which still hasn’t quite recovered from the scandal caused by their relationship at the University of Toronto. But when Julia and Clare are threatened by an ominous force connected to Gabriel’s past, Julia discovers exactly how far Gabriel is willing to go to keep his promises to her.
