Months after Jade disappeared without a word, Fire Chief Akil Mitchell has tried to rebuild his life. But no sleepless night, no bottle, and no fire has been able to erase the memory of the woman who once set his world ablaze and left him in the ruins.

Jade wasn’t just running from heartbreak. She lost her job, lost herself, and vanished in an attempt to survive the unraveling of everything she knew. Now, after months of silence, she’s ready to return and face the life she left behind.

When Jade and Akil cross paths again in their small Southern town of Westonberry, old sparks ignite and buried pain comes rushing back. Surrounded by tradition, rooted in faith, and held together by the hope of second chances, they must decide whether love can still grow in the ashes of what was lost.

Promise 2 is a heartfelt, sensual, and emotionally rich story about redemption, healing, and the kind of love that refuses to fade. In a world where some promises are broken and others are made new, this is a journey back to the heart of what it means to be whole.","spice","series_order","editions_count","contributors",[],"authors",[100],"Promise: Book 2","edition_id","a8473ebe-7282-42f2-bfef-3b2f42626da0",{"_11":32,"_30":31,"_99":34},"year",2025,"first_published","Oct 2025","likes_count","collections_count","409-promise","format",{"_30":94,"_43":95,"_96":97,"_98":52},"page_count",346,"duration","published_date","October 21, 2025","isbn","asin","B0DKY4WN2W","hex_code","#c7857f","language","English","cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/407i/a8473ebe-7282-42f2-bfef-3b2f42626da0.jpg",3,"Kindle","type","print","audio","order",{"_30":101,"_43":102,"_47":103,"_104":-5,"_105":-5,"_33":106,"_107":108},"89e043eb-a395-48e2-a684-3cc581ba1487","Jhéanell Westonberry","47-jheanell-westonberry","biography","image",4,"roles",[109],"author","3a4e5ef1-1080-4f88-bd85-ea2dd8af4379","Jade Alexander learned early that love was a luxury, not a necessity. Success, security, and survival came first. She made the sacrifices, climbed the corporate ladder, and built a life her Jamaican parents could be proud of. Her career in tech was the crown jewel. The travel, the paychecks, the title. Until one ordinary day, one closed-door meeting, and everything she worked for is stripped away.

What follows is a storm of emotion she can’t suppress and a fall that no one prepared her for. At her most unguarded, she meets a man who sees her, not for what she does, but for who she is beneath the performance.

Akil Mitchell doesn’t need more noise in his life. A decorated veteran and the fire chief of Westonberry, a Southern man who finds peace in routine, riding his horse Junie, and taking care of his lively parents. He’s a man of few words and authority. But Jade’s presence disrupts his calm in all the right ways. There is something about her he can’t walk away from.

As Jade reckons with the silence left in success’s absence and tries to rebuild without the applause she once lived for, Akil becomes both anchor and mirror. But healing is not linear. And love, especially the kind that changes everything, never arrives at the right time.

Set in Westonberry, the soul of Roena County, Promise is a funny, tender, emotionally rich story about what it means to be fully seen when you’ve forgotten who you are.",[],[125],"Promise","4990846d-f433-40bc-9b97-6d81d34507eb",{"_11":32,"_30":31,"_99":24},"Aug 2025","408-promise",{"_30":94,"_43":95,"_96":97,"_98":52},159,"August 8, 2025","B0FKZSNYWQ","#b3af7e","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/406i/4990846d-f433-40bc-9b97-6d81d34507eb.jpg",{"_30":101,"_43":102,"_47":103,"_104":-5,"_105":-5,"_33":106,"_107":126},[109],{"_43":102,"_104":-5,"_47":103,"_30":101,"_128":55,"_129":52,"_130":-5,"_131":55,"_132":133,"_105":-5,"_33":106},"catalogs_count","verified","account_id","universes_count","user_progress",{"_134":55,"_135":106,"_136":55},"read","total","percentage","isLoggedIn",["P",138],"result","seo",{"_11":148,"_149":150,"_13":151,"_152":153,"_49":18,"_154":155,"_156":157},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","robots",{"_178":52,"_179":52},"jsonLd",{"_158":159,"_160":161,"_43":148,"_162":163,"_164":165,"_49":18,"_166":167},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[173,174,175,176,177],"potentialAction",{"_160":168,"_169":170,"_171":172},"SearchAction","target","https://blackauthored.com/authors/47-jheanell-westonberry/seriessearch?q={search_term}","query","required name='search_term'","https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
