Synopsis
Linc knows Wyn
is the girl for him.
Wyn knows Linc
is the boy for her.
But she’s
promised to another.
Lincoln “Linc” Tatman had been at his new school for months and he thought he’d
met all the girls it had to offer. Until one day, he spied Wyn sitting against
a tree and realized this new place had been hiding the girl of his dreams. He
goes out of his way to get to know her, even though he’s warned that it’s a
hopeless case. But he’s determined to win her, even if she can only be his for
a short time.
Arwyn “Wyn”
Scott is the black sheep of her big gypsy family. When most of the girls her
age are dropping out to start their own families, she begs her parents to stay.
She doesn’t fit in with the gypsy teens and the regular teens are too afraid of
her five older brothers to get close. Then Linc comes into her life, showing
her a new life she never thought she could have. She can’t stop herself from
falling head first for the boy.
Can Wyn leave
behind her family and their traditions to follow her heart, or will she become a young gypsy wife?
Meet Wyn and Linc, Characters from Promised
Character Bio: Arwyn “Wyn” Scott
Born May 26, 1994 to Allen and Ella Scott. Wyn is the
youngest of six children and the only daughter. She loves reading and learning,
which is why she fought so hard to stay in school when all the other Romani
gypsy teens were dropping out. On top of her education Wyn loves to help
people. She volunteers as a tutor for her high school and helps at the local
children’s center.
Wyn is 5’8”, with curly brown hair and vibrant green eyes.
When she’s stressed out or upset she bakes, specifically sprinkle cupcakes.
Her best friends are her sister-in-laws Dani and Marley, and
her brother Adam. They’re the only ones who see her how she really is; a sweet,
smart, goofy girl. That is until Linc Tatman comes into her life. To everyone
else she comes across as distant and stuck up.
Character Bio: Lincoln “Linc” Tatman
Born April 5, 1994 to Andrew and Kate Tatman. He’s an army
brat who moved around a lot growing up. He plans on following in his father’s
footsteps by enlisting when he graduates. His favorite possession is his 1970
Dodge Challenger that he restored with his dad.
Linc is 6’3”, with buzzed dark brown hair and golden brown
eyes. He’s extremely loyal to the people he considers family and friends. He
knows what he wants and he doesn’t hesitate in taking the steps to get it. That
includes the girl he wants.
His best friend is his cousin, Nate, who gets on his nerves
more often than not. But he still loves the kid and would trust him with his
darkest secrets. Other than Nate and his family the only other person he’s
really close to is Wyn Scott.
Michelle is a 28 year old native Ohioan. Go

“Linc, there are things in my life that you can’t understand and this,”
She waves her hand back and forth between the two of us, “will never be able to
work out.”
“You can’t know that. You’re not even giving us a chance.” I cross my
arms.
She throws up her arms, “You want to know how this will go if I give in?”
“Yeah, since apparently you’re a psychic, tell me how this will go, Wyn.”
“Say my family doesn’t find out, which is highly unlikely. And say if
they do find out and they don’t hurt you. And Linc, those are two huge
obstacles to overcome right off the bat. Well, say we overcome those, then
what?” She runs her hands through her hair before she continues, “We’ll spend a
few weeks, a few months it we’re lucky, together. But it won’t last after that,
Linc. It’ll be over and we’ll be left with what? Nothing.”
“You’re wrong, Wyn. We’ll have the memories and I’d rather have those
than nothing.” I want to reach out and grab her. I want to hold her in my arms
but I know she has boundaries that I’m not use to and I can’t cross them. I’m
afraid to even hold her hand, that it might cross some unseen line.
“I’m not sure I can handle the memories. Because if you give me
everything I think you can and things turn out the way I know they will, I
won’t be able to handle them. Knowing I had you and I had to let you go. I
can’t do that, Linc.” There’s a quiver in her voice and I have to shove my
hands in my pockets to keep from reaching out for her.
“You won’t have to let me go.”
“Yes, I will.”
“The only way I’m going anywhere is if you decide you don’t want me
around.” I promise her.
“It won’t be me who pushes you away.”
“Well, I can promise I won’t push you away. I want to be with you, Wyn.”
“I’m promised, Linc.” As the words leave her lips, I watch the tears
begin to escape her eyes.
“Explain please.” I have a feeling I know what it means but I need to
hear it aloud.
“My Dad informed me last night that someone expressed interest in my
hand. He’s going to accept the proposal.” She’s watching my face as she finishes,
“I’m going to be married.”
