Love Is The Universal Language...

Amara Terrell is her own woman. Backed by a supportive family and a head for business, she’s the owner of a successful management-consulting firm in Virginia. Right now, her career is all she has. After a failed engagement, she put her personal life on the back burner and found what pleasure she could from working hard. So when she’s hired to consult an Africa-based company, Mazrui Corporations, the last thing on her mind is romance.

Keino Mazrui is the pride of his people. Born to a royal family, he’s been entrusted with running his family’s global business. He's also been given an ultimatum: find a bride within a year, or one will be chosen for him. He never expected his search to end in America. From the moment Keino sets eyes on Amara, his heart is hers. Fearful of their differences, they try to fight their mutual attraction, but it can't be denied. Now, as Keino and Amara face their families—and the family of Keino's betrothed, they'll find out once and for all if their relationship is up to the challenge...
