Promises To Keep: A Story of Destiny

by Nicki Charest

Overview

Derrick Goodwin is a young Stanford Law graduate who, after trying one of the most high profile cases in the county, easily gains a reputation of being one of the most successful attorneys in the New England area. But he struggles with the direction of his career due to the borderline racist ways of his boss, Rich McEnroe, who won’t make him partner no matter his accomplishments.

His profession as a respected litigator rarely trickles over into his personal life, as Derrick made an oath long ago to never date a client and risk his career after a previous incident almost cost him his license with the bar... that is until he meets Destiny, a troubled woman seeking counsel for a sexual harassment lawsuit against her employer.

Destiny's beautiful face spells temptation, and the sexual tension between them is hard to resist. As they grow closer, Derrick begins to question all that he’s ever known, including his complicated sexual relationship with close friend and high school sweetheart Monica with whom he refuses to settle down . He comes to learn there is more to Destiny than what meets the eye, and soon he finds himself in a position where more than his oaths are tested.

About the Author

From the moment Nicki was able to pick up a pen, her imagination allowed her to put thoughts on paper so that the world could see what she was seeing.
​
Hailing from Detroit, Nicki Charest started writing poetry at an early age. Ahead of her time, she was fascinated with telling mature stories and often kept a diary of the many fictional tales she had envisioned. By the age of 13, Nicki had over 50 poems, 15 songs, and several short stories she had written.
​
At age 20, she took her talents public. Eventually, she would go on to perform at various open mics and competing in several poetry slams around the city of Detroit.
​
Nicki made her way south to North Carolina, but her love for writing remained. While in Raleigh, Nicki started a Tuesday Poetry Open Mic Night, in which members from the spoken word community would come to perform. From Dasan Ahanu of the Durham Slam Team to the mighty poetess Phoenix, Nicki wanted to bring the world of creative arts to all in her presence.
​
Now 33 years old, married, and employed by one of the largest sports conglomerates in the world, Nicki still just wants to write and share her passion with all those willing to read it. She released her first novel, A Twisted Love, December 31, 2017 and her second novel Promises To Keep released July 20, 2019.
