Description

In this stunning sequel to Promise Broken, K’wan spins a pulse-pounding story about surviving, thriving, and the consequences of love.

Promise and her best friend Mouse have fled Newark and are hiding out in New York City, wanted by the police—and the streets—for the death of B-Stone, leader of the Bloods. In the city, Promise has found work as a waitress at a hole-in-the-wall strip club. But one fateful night, she is forced to face her past when an up-and-coming rapper draws several shady characters into her orbit.

Meanwhile, Asher has maneuvered himself into a position of great importance after B-Stone’s death, albeit with some help. But his ambition may cost him when he must make the ultimate choice: his best friend’s life, or his own.

Promise and Asher have each come into their own, but will they ever be able to come together?

Bestselling author K’wan weaves a tangled web of complex relationships and power struggles in Promise Kept, a tale peopled with gangstas, drug dealers, dreamers, and schemers from both sides of the Hudson.

Featured Reviews

I had enjoyed Promise Broken and thought this new entry was everything that I was hoping for. The characters felt like they were suppose to and had the same writing style that I was looking for. K'Wan always does a great job in creating this story and I’m glad I read this.

This book picks up where part one left off and boy was it another page-turner. Nobody tells a story the way K'wan does. I loved the friendship that Promise and Mouse had throughout the series. Both characters had a lot going on in their lives and it caused them to form an unbreakable sisterhood. This book kept me intrigued from the first page until the last and I would highly recommend it.

K’wan has been the undisputed king of urban, contemporary fiction for the greater part of 15 years. Promise Kept is the latest notch in his legacy. A thrilling story, fast moving plot and sexy romance on the side, I couldn’t put it down!
