Book Blurb
Ifeoma and her sisters escaped an emotionally abusive father
to start a new life in Lagos. She is determined to never let another man have
control over her, even if that means never falling in love. That is until she
meets Chuma, a wealthy and domineering man who is exactly the kind of man she
is determined to stay away from but somehow can’t seem to keep away from. An
unlikely relationship develops, taking them from joy to a devastating loss and
finally to betrayal. Ifeoma must decide, but she is torn between her painful
past and a chance at a future with Chuma…
Chuma is a cutthroat obsessive financial mogul whose sole
purpose in life is to make his family name great. And he is determined to let
nothing distract him from achieving his goal. But when he meets Ifeoma, an
elusive, hardworking chef, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to her. They
embark on a turbulent journey of friendship and love, which is eventually
shattered by tragedy. Chuma wants to heal the rift that has grown between them
and will go to any lengths to do so. However, he encounters secrets from her
past...
Excerpt
He held himself rigidly, absorbing this information. His
head spun with multiple emotions, predominantly anger. Anger that a father
would reduce the self-esteem of his own daughter so low as to make her hate her
own femininity. He was beginning to understand Ifeoma a bit more. Her desire to
be independent, her lack of effort in her appearance.
“I’m sorry you had to endure that. I’m sorry that your
father did not see how completely strong and beautiful you are,” he said, his
voice raspy with emotion. “I never want you to doubt this. You are the most
beautiful woman I have laid my eyes on. Your beauty goes beyond being skin
deep.”
Ifeoma’s heart thudded at the ferocity of his tone.
Swallowing her typical denial, she whispered, “thanks for saying that, Chuma.”
She settled back in her seat and shortly after, drifted off to sleep. Chuma,
watching her while she slept, resolved to protect her from every adversity.
Even himself.
