About this item

Promise Me Forever is a stand-alone billionaire office romance.

How can you promise someone forever?

The simple truth is that you can’t.

At least that’s what I always thought. Until I met Amelia Ryder. It was a chance encounter. We were meant to go our separate ways and never see each other again.

So you can imagine my surprise when the woman I haven’t been able to stop thinking about turns up at my office two days after I sent her home—as my new secretary. And things are about to get a lot more complicated than either of us expected.

She’s occupying my every waking thought. If I’m not thinking about her smile or her scent, or the very unprofessional things I'd like to do to her on my desk, I’m definitely picturing her delicious curves—the ones I know in intimate detail.

But I’m Drake James, cold-hearted workaholic. I don’t do relationships, I don’t do commitment, and I definitely don’t do my secretary.

So why can’t my mind and body get with the program? Because staying away from the woman is pure torture. And as unfair as it is for her, I’m not prepared to give up whatever this thing is between us, no matter how toxic it gets.

Amelia Ryder is mine, and just because I can’t have her doesn’t mean I won’t.

    Sadie Kincaid delivers a steamy, tension-filled romance in Promise Me Forever that will leave readers captivated from start to finish. This is a story about love, passion, and the seemingly impossible promise of forever.

    Drake James, a self-proclaimed workaholic who prides himself on keeping emotions at bay, finds his carefully constructed world turned upside down when he meets Amelia Ryder. Their chance encounter sparks undeniable chemistry, but Drake’s firm stance against relationships and the complication of workplace dynamics makes their connection as volatile as it is intoxicating.

    Amelia is a breath of fresh air—strong, ambitious, and utterly disarming. She’s no damsel in distress, but her vulnerability and determination to navigate her feelings for Drake make her relatable and likable. As she tries to maintain professionalism, it’s impossible to ignore the magnetic pull between them.

    Kincaid masterfully crafts a dynamic push-and-pull between Drake and Amelia, infusing the narrative with sizzling tension and emotional depth. Their banter is sharp, their chemistry electric, and their struggles palpable. Drake’s internal battle between his desire for control and his growing feelings for Amelia adds a compelling layer of complexity to his character. Meanwhile, Amelia’s resilience and vulnerability make her a perfect counterpoint to Drake’s guarded nature.

    The story explores themes of vulnerability, control, and the risks of opening up to love. While some might find the dynamic between boss and secretary trope familiar, Kincaid’s deft handling of emotional stakes and character growth ensures the story feels fresh and engaging.

    If you’re looking for a romance that’s as heart-wrenching as it is steamy, Promise Me Forever is a must-read. Drake and Amelia’s journey is a rollercoaster of emotions, and by the final page, you’ll be left with the satisfying realization that sometimes, the promise of forever isn’t just a dream—it’s worth fighting for.

    "C#cks have no idea how to read the room."
    That quote right there....hahaha
    This book made me laugh,tear up, and blush at the spice.
    Amelia and Drake are hit together and have great banter. I love the brothers' relationship, and all the convos they had were great. I did tear up at Amelia's loss. The teddy bears. Ugh... This did have a stupid 3rd act breakup, and I don't think Drake groveled enough. The timing of his little man tantrum was awful. Thank goodness for some mafia drama to get the couple back on track. The end was cute, and I loved the extended epilogue. I have a few questions, though... Where did her friends go? It seems she got into a relationship, and they all disappeared? Sapphire was in like 1 paragraph and disappeared? Who was Elijah texting, I hope it was his wife.

    DRAKE JAMES. My god, this is my new book husband. He can't be beat. His mouth. His possessiveness. His heart. Loved this book. 5 stars, no notes. You know if this author writes it, it's an auto-buy for me, and she delivered with this book! I was craving a romance that would give me all the feels and this book hit the spot. So much emotion and I loved every second.

    Drake and Amelia meet when he crashes a wedding where she is the maid of honor. They have a one night stand, but neither one of them can get the other out of their minds. Fast forward and low and behold, Amelia is Drake's new secretary. Both are just as shocked to find this out.

    Amelia is divorced and looking for true love while Drake has a big heart but doesn't think he is deserving of love. The spice hit in this book, but so did the emotions. And the cherry on top of this book were the cameos from the Ruthless world!!!!Absolutely loved this book and recommend it. I can't wait for more of the James brothers!

    Drake and Amelia ..K..I…S…S.. mwah xxxx
    Im in love
    I laughed, I stressed and worried and I cried and sniffled and cried again.
    Oh, I must mention the HEAT IS ON!!!! Its on FIRE!!!!!!

    "the reaction oddly Pavlovian. He growls, I vibrate."
    oooo, how to have all the feels in one sentence.

    So do not read in public…lols unless you have a strong poker game.

    "I’m his plaything, and boy am I enjoying the game.”

    I always find that after I read such a great book all I say is LOVE , LOVE , LOVE … but its the truth.
    I bonded with the read.

    Amelia is smart and funny and highly relatable. I would have made all the same decisions in life if her life was mine.
    Her troubles and sadness, joys and highlights are written in such a way that you can feel it.. even her blister on her foot I felt as if it was my own.

    Drake and Amelia's CHEMISTREEEEE is…off the CHARTS!

    Drake being Hot as Sin and a total softy on the inside combined with my perfect idea of a DOM just cause jelly knees….
    "She walked in here full of sass, and now she’s full of my c*** m. And if I have my way, that’s how she’ll remain every day for the rest of her life."
    Drake has a wickedly dirty mouth..and talented ..cough, cough… um Man..

    “You can make absolutely anything sound filthy, can’t you?” He shrugs, the corner of his lips quirked upward. “It’s a gift.”

    Drake's losses and viewpoints and absolute character development was beautiful. Thank you Sadie for yet another notch up on the step of what we need and want in a partner!!!
    We need Sadie to write a manual : "What every partner wants and needs in its souls halves. xxx The Naughty and the Nice"

    "I’m not doing that, of course. I’m about to do something macho and stupid.” (Count me in)
    - Drake

    I will be on the edge of my seat for the next of the 5 Brothers stories to come out !!
    Masons Humour has me in stitches as well,
    “A little rum?” Mason pipes up from across the kitchen. “There’s enough rum in here to give Captain Morgan a hangover.”
    Elijah is definitely promising to be a an epic star crossed lovers pull and push read and I cant wait.

    “To Julia Roberts!” says Nathan, holding up his glass. “And her incredible smile!” We all cheer and hold up our own glasses to match him. And why not? Julia Roberts does indeed have an incredible smile, and it’s totally worth celebrating.
