The Promise

Nero doesn't ask permission—he takes what he wants.

Nero Hussein built his life on control. As the first Persian Muslim American Captain of Homicide, he enforces the rules—his way. He defied his family's chosen bride and married Stacie, the woman who made him believe in forever.
Their marriage was perfect. Until she asked for the one thing he swore never to give.
Buried in Nero's past is a tragedy that nearly destroyed him—a brother's death, a guilt he can't escape. To give Stacie what she needs means facing the darkness he's spent years outrunning.
But Stacie is done waiting. She wants the family they promised each other, or she wants out.
Now Nero must choose: hold onto the control that keeps him standing, or risk everything—including his sanity—for the woman he can't live without.

A marriage tested by grief. A love that demands redemption.
A man who must decide if happiness is worth the pain of letting go.
