Dawn Jackson came to Portugal for peace—not for him.

Burnt out from hospital rotations and carrying more grief than she’ll admit, Dawn signs up for a three-month sabbatical in Lisbon. The plan is simple: take a cooking class, sleep past sunrise, and stay far away from anything—or anyone—that might complicate her healing.

Enter Chukwuemeka Oliseh: Nigerian football star, local legend, and the most unexpected complication of all.

Their connection is instant and undeniable. But Dawn didn’t come to fall in love—and Emeka isn’t the kind of man you love halfway. Between billboards, secrets, and stolen time, their bond deepens into something neither of them saw coming.

But when a devastating accident threatens to end everything he’s built, Dawn must decide if love can survive pride, press, and pain—or if some heartbreaks are just too big to outrun.

Yours Truly, Portugal is a lush Black travel romance about unexpected beginnings, staying soft in a hard world, and the kind of love that meets you exactly where you are.
