Book Description:
Amara Ikezie is a new grad nurse who is thrilled to start her dream job in Atlanta’s biggest children’s hospital. But when her best friend gets engaged, Amara is faced with the looming pressure from her mom to find her own man. Determined to escape the pressure to marry, Amara takes on a task to find the ‘perfect’ man who ticks all the boxes on her list.
Raymond Aderinto is a pediatric cardiologist with a wall of accolades and a string of failed relationships. After his fourth girlfriend dumps him, Raymond vows to get confirmation from God first before entering into his next relationship—even though he’d love to find his bride before turning thirty.
When Raymond spills coffee on Amara’s scrubs, he becomes certain she’s the woman God wants to be his wife. But unfortunately for him, Raymond doesn’t tick Amara’s boxes, and worst of all, Amara is sure her Igbo mom would never approve of a marriage to a man from the Yoruba tribe.
Despite Amara’s efforts to stay away from Raymond and convince herself he is not the one for her, her growing attraction for his character, values, and vision gives her more reasons to wonder if she was wrong about her prejudices toward him. When another doctor walks into Amara’s life who ticks all her boxes and shows interest in her, she is caught between running into his ‘perfect’ arms, or going with Raymond who is turning out to be more perfect than she thought.
The One Who Loves Me, book two in the Sovereign Love series, is a beautiful standalone novel about surrender and learning to take comfort in the sovereign goodness of a loving God who writes the best love stories.

EXCERPT:
I walk across the room and kneel next to her, using my thumb to wipe the tears on her face. “What Uncle Dayo and his family did to Aunty Chinonye is despicable and I understand your fears. But Mom, Uncle Dayo didn’t do all those things because he had a tribe problem. He did all those things because he had a heart problem.” I glance at Dad, who nods in agreement.
“It’s so easy to attribute people’s actions and behaviors to their tribe, but we forget that things are much deeper than that. I know you’re afraid of other cultures and you want to stick to what you know, but there are so many Igbo men who cheat on their wives too. You know that, right?”
Mom nods reluctantly. “Yes, that’s true. Mama Nkechi has been dealing with this for many years. Her husband keeps running after all the small girls in Lagos.”
“Ehe, I’m glad you acknowledge that too. So Igbo men can also beat and mistreat their wives. It doesn’t matter whether the man is Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, or even from another country altogether. What matters is the state of his heart.”
