Alise Carter has a gift for creating unforgettable Kwanzaa celebrations-and somehow, her clients always end up falling in love. Five proposals in two years proves she's the best event planner in Atlanta. But while she's an expert at setting the stage for other people's happily-ever-afters, her own heart has been locked down tight since her ex-fiancé rejected her for being too intense about Black culture and tradition.
Thomas Williams is a divorce attorney who's spent fifteen years cataloguing why relationships fail. When his parents reconcile after a decade apart, his mother insists on a proper Kwanzaa celebration to strengthen their second chance. Thomas is skeptical that seven principles and some candles can fix what broke before, but he hires Alise anyway-for his parents' sake.
What he doesn't expect is how she challenges everything he thought he knew about faith, culture, and love. With professional boundaries between them and both their hearts guarded by past hurt, can they practice the very principles Alise teaches?
A heartwarming contemporary romance celebrating Black love, culture, and the transformative power of practicing what you preach.
