A single-player novel from USA Today and Amazon bestselling author H.J. Bellus, "The Pinky Oath."   Baylor Jones and Staton (State) Blake are two lost souls who grew up on the streets and vowed to always protect each other. He was only nine, but he became her protector and was her best friend for many years. Even when he was given to a foster family, he always cared for her like a king for his queen. Protecting each other was sealed with a pinky oath between them. And then one morning he disappeared, leaving her alone to struggle in the streets and, more importantly, to live in Kings alone. “I will love you even if I never see you again.”
