Shortlisted for "Best Books of 2012" by Africa Book Club!
Lola's life reads like a success story: a thriving career in London, a close-knit circle of friends, and the kind of beauty that turns heads. But beneath the polished surface lurks a yearning she can't quite name – until she meets Wole.
Their connection is instant, electric, and consuming. In Wole, Lola finds everything she never knew she craved: passion, adventure, and the intoxicating thrill of falling hard and fast. He's mysterious, magnetic, and seems too good to be true.
Because he is.
When Wole's carefully buried past erupts into their present, Lola discovers that loving him comes with a price she never expected to pay. As murder investigations, an arrest, and family secrets threaten to tear them apart, Lola must decide: is their love worth the cost of his truth?
