The lawyer who helped build the threat may be the only man willing to dismantle it.

When a foreclosure notice interrupts another Asterlyn wedding, financial director Carys Mercer has twenty-one days to save her family's historic venue from auction. The documents carry the name of Ellis Baptiste, the brilliant redevelopment attorney she already knows, distrusts, and cannot stop wanting.

Ellis believed he was closing an aggressive but lawful transaction. Then a notice he never reviewed appears under his matter number, a stolen signature page surfaces inside a false purchase option, and his own firm orders him to stop asking questions. Telling the truth could destroy his career. Staying silent could hand Asterlyn House to the people who corrupted his work.

As Carys and Ellis trace hidden conflicts, altered records, and a shell-company debt purchase, attraction turns into an alliance neither can treat as safe. Carys refuses a love that asks her to ignore risk. Ellis refuses to make sacrifice his proof of devotion. To stop the sale, they must build admissible truth, a community-backed future for Asterlyn, and a relationship strong enough to survive full disclosure.

The Forever Vow at Asterlyn House is a high-stakes, open-door African American BBW contemporary romance featuring a plus-size financial heroine, enemies to allies to lovers, legal and financial suspense, shared community ownership, and a complete marriage happily ever after.
