Description

She built her life on plans because love made her a fool. Then he walked in and made her want to throw every plan away.

Imani Carter doesn't make mistakes twice.

After being cheated on by the man she gave everything to, she rebuilt herself brick by brick. Her career is sharp. Her apartment is controlled. Her heart is locked behind a deadbolt she checks every single night. She doesn't lean on love anymore. She leans on schedules, timelines, and the cold comfort of knowing exactly what comes next.

Then Malcolm Hale steps into her event and upends everything.

He's a project manager. Calm. Steady. The kind of man who apologizes without excuses and listens without an agenda. He challenges her in front of others and then finds her alone to make it right. No ego. No games. Just a quiet, steady presence that feels more dangerous than any argument.

Imani knows the risk. She has lived the aftermath of trusting the wrong person. She has felt the particular humiliation of loving someone who was already somewhere else. She is not doing that again.

But Malcolm isn't asking her to forget what happened to her. He just keeps showing up, consistent and careful, one small honest moment at a time, until her walls start to crack whether she wants them to or not.

And then everything changes in a way neither of them planned.

Now Imani has to decide if the woman she became after betrayal is the woman she wants to stay, or if the bravest thing she can do is trust someone with the part of her she swore she would never hand over again.

Vow is a slow-burn contemporary romance about what happens after heartbreak, when two people who both know how much love can cost have to decide if it is still worth the price.
