NEEMA ALI has just suffered a break-up that's made her gun shy on love. She doubts she will ever repair her heart and risk its well-being again, even if love and happily-ever-after is the tradition of her beloved Strong family.
DANE JACKSON was raised to believe that the male members of his family find their soul mate once they possess the Jackson heart—a slave relic one of his ancestors made in celebration of his love for his wife. Dane's no stranger to beautiful woman, but he is looking for something more than just the physical...especially when he meets Neema Ali on the very night his aunt bestows the Jackson heart to him.
Dane must believe his feelings for Neema are more than just a fiery physical attraction and Neema must release the hold her pain has on her heart to allow a good man to give her the good love she deserves.
In time, they both discover they are stronger and happier together than they are apart...if they both just say yes to love.
