Love is a Commitment

They made a vow. He broke it to protect her. Now he’s back. To prove that love, real love, keeps its word.

Synopsis

Love Is A Commitment

A deeply emotional, second-chance African romance about hidden vows, fractured trust, and the strength it takes to choose love—again.

Salma DuBois-Arazi has mastered the art of moving forward. As the poised and polished director of guest services at Grand Amour, she keeps her heartbreak buried beneath duty and independence. But when her grandmother’s 80th birthday celebration brings a ghost from her past back to Tweede Kans Cove, the calm she’s worked so hard to protect begins to unravel.

Qasim Adesina—the ex-footballer now powerful CFO of Ilẹ Oloro Farms—never forgot the woman he once called his. Their love burned too fast, too secretly, and ended far too soon. But behind his silence was a vow: to sever the dangerous ties threatening their future before ever asking her to risk her heart again.

Now, with the past unfinished and Salma slipping out of reach, Qasim must face the cost of the secrets they’ve both kept. But reclaiming what they lost will take more than love—it will take trust, forgiveness, and a courage neither of them knew they still had.

Set against the breathtaking beauty of Morrocco and Nigeria, Vows Fulfilled is a powerful journey through love’s deepest losses and the promise of something even greater on the other side.

Perfect for fans of emotional, layered Black love stories with international flair, hidden marriages, and fierce heroines unafraid to walk away from what no longer serves them.

Excerpt

Over the years, she had let go, but wasn’t quite sure she forgave him. They were still in an awkward place that she had no clue how to navigate. Their issues were a wedge between them and the last she checked, nothing had changed.
Salma had furrowed her brow when two men pulled up in a sleek black SUV outside Grand Amour. Qasim opened the back door for her, and she hesitated, glancing at him skeptically. “Did you really have to bring them?”
“Yes, and you know why,” he responded firmly.
“It’s a small town. Nothing is going to happen here.”
“Small towns equal unwanted gossip. Please don’t fight me. Get in, I’m exhausted.”
Salma scoffed and entered the car. “You wouldn’t be so exhausted if you weren’t beating your chest like King Kong back there.”
He tipped his head back against the leather headrest and shut his eyes. “I had to. You were giving that man the illusion that he can have what’s mine.”
“I haven’t been yours in years.”
Qasim didn’t respond.
