What happens when a man’s own insecurity sparks a jealous flame? Is it really true that deep down inside, every woman wonders about experiencing a secret rendezvous with another woman? Can a strong marriage survive, despite a tangled web of lies and betrayal?
Dominic and Yvonne are enjoying a loving marriage until Dominic’s suspicions, fueled by his own self-loathing from lacking a steady job, cause an emotional explosion with more than just two casualties. Infidelity and sexual exploration intertwine and result in an unpredictable twist of fate.
EXCERPT FROM BROKEN VOWS:
Yvonne walked into an unlit home. She heard faint music wafting from the upstairs bedroom and smiled to herself. When she turned the corner of the hallway to head upstairs, she saw peach-scented votive candles lining the stairway, one on each stair. She took off her suit jacket, throwing it over her shoulder. Looking into the bedroom, she saw that it was dark. The music was coming from the bathroom.
“Dom?” She called into the darkness.
“Follow the candles.”
Yvonne obliged, following the candles into the bathroom, where approximately fifteen of them were strategically placed, lighting up the area surrounding a bathtub filled with bubbles. Dominic was sitting on the closed toilet lid in his black silk robe, holding a bowl of strawberries with a dollop of whip cream on the side. She tilted her head and grinned at him mischievously. It was cute, even if it was a cliché’.
“Take your clothes off, precious.” He whispered sensually.
She began a slow striptease in front of him, dropping her clothes to the bathroom floor until only her bare honey-colored skin could be seen swaying back and forth tantalizingly to the rhythm of the music. Dominic admired his wife’s gorgeous body, toned to perfection. He had never been attracted to skinny women, and his wife was anything but skinny. Although her calves were smaller and the muscles in them were sculpted, they led up to thighs that were firm and large. She had what his mother called ‘baby-making hips’. The curve of her buttocks sat high and sharp. She had a stomach that any woman would die for, flat and smooth, with a belly button that begged to be flicked with an eager tongue.
“Get into the tub.” He instructed, his voice growing raspier by the second, a sure sign that his temperature, among other things, was rising. Stepping gingerly into the steaming water, she slid down until only her knees, neck, and head were above the soft looking mountain of bubbles. Dominic looked at her intently as he noticed the small beads of sweat already beginning to form on her forehead.
He turned his body towards the tub, dipping a deep-red strawberry into the whip cream and feeding it to her. Sitting up and leaning forward, Yvonne’s wet breasts emerged from the steaming water. She licked the cream off with her tongue, slowly, looking into his eyes as she did so. Then she parted her full, moist lips and took a small bite off the tip of the sweet piece of fruit. His leg twitched.
Yvonne brought her hands up out of the water and cupped the bubbles in her hand, spreading it over her breasts in one seductive motion. The music that was playing seemed to play just for her, following her movements with precise rhythm.
“How does it taste, baby?” He asked.
“Sweet and juicy, just like you.” Yvonne replied, lifting a smoothly shaven leg from the tub. She slowly pointed her toe into the air, allowing the water to cascade downward. Taking a strawberry halfway into her mouth, she leaned forward for him to bite the other end. They met in the middle, their lips closing into a hot kiss flamed with desire. The kiss seemed to go on and on, warming both of their bodies beyond control. Finally, he pulled away, taking a soft sponge and beginning to wash her neck, then her back. He gently scrubbed the length of her body, stopping to savor the most interesting areas.
“Dom…” She purred as the sponge rested naughtily in the tight crevice between her legs.
Excerpt
"I believe in presenting taboo subjects like homosexuality, lesbianism, and sexual exploration to the African-American community, where we have shunned these subjects for far too long. We are sexual beings, with sexual urges, and sexual needs that need to be addressed, and I plan to address them in as entertaining a way as possible. I dont apologize for my candidness, and I am proud of the raw reality of the situations my characters face. Hopefully, my readers will recognize a small piece of themselves in each of my stories."

Do you want him or her?
Broken Vows by Naiomi Pitre is a wonderful exploration of a Christian marriage tempted by lust. Meet Mr. & Mrs. Long. They are the ideal, church-going couple with grandiose dreams and goals. Mrs. Long does whatever to please her man and Mr. Long worships the ground she walks on. However, when lust steps in, the two can't fight back their urges to taste the un-forbidden. Will they let the other women destroy what God has put together?
I enjoyed Naiomi Pitre's novel. It was well written and very realistic. The author did not hold anything back from the candid language to the sensual sex scenes. If you are tired of Christian novels that skate around reality then you are ready for Broken Vows where nothing is held back.-Karlyn Leblanc, author of Characters of Lust
