After reluctantly returning home from abroad Amarachi is forced to confront all the unpleasant trauma of her past, including fighting the white-hot attraction to the curly-haired boy that broke her heart seven years ago.

* * *

It's been seven years since Amarachi Okon had her heart and soul completely ripped to shreds.

Now she has become the literal representation of a phoenix, having risen from the ashes of despair and reinvented herself.

With the wounds largely healed, she has sworn to never let anyone close enough to her. Never to let anyone have power over her.

But fate is about to prove that no matter what we do, our destiny is inescapable.

After agreeing to be the maid of honor at her friend's wedding Amarachi is shocked to find out the best man is none other than Daniel Wells, the boy that broke her heart seven years ago. She's even more shocked to find out that that old attraction is still there and burning hotter than ever.

But between meddling bridesmaids, disapproving mothers-in-law, and the strike of unexpected tragedy, will they ever get their happily ever after?

THE WEDDING PARTY meets THE LAST DAYS AT FORCADOS HIGH SCHOOL in this Nigerian-themed duology about first love and second chances.

Yasmine is a star girl, with plans for the future, good grades and a boyfriend to top it up but how can she survive when her enemies are her family, a menacing father willing to give her out without a second thought, a step mother cruel enough to be Shaytan himself and a step sister who's jealousy burns from within, a drive that's enough to kill a person. As her world comes crumbling down, will she crumble with it or stand in the midst of the rumble. _________ I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry He chuckled wickedly as Hauwa stoked his hand tenderly. 'At first it was about your virginity but you were stubborn so I took it slow, till I got what I wanted' he said, his eyes void of emotion. 'Turns out you're easy and a slut at that' he completed as Hauwa laughed heartily. Tears fell from my eyes freely, like a waterfall, like dew on the desert. I swallowed to ease my parched throat as I bit my lips trying not to scream. My breath was becoming uneven as I strode to where he stood and slapped him across the face with all the anger, the sorrows and frustration that were bottled up on me. 'You disgust me' I managed to say as tears started to blur my vision and for a second I saw hurt in his eyes or maybe I assumed it. I ran, bumping into tables, chairs and people, I didn't care. Ammi always told me there was a thin line between love and hate and I had crossed that line today with Sadiq', the one that wiped away my tears and told me it was going to be fine, my calm after the storm was actually my enemy in disguise. Shit!!! When it rains it fucking pours. ____________ Will she loose herself or find love in the most unexpected place?

❝People like you don't get happy endings, not after that.❞ **** Childhood best friends Étienne LeRoy and Louella Rey were once inseparable-two halves of a perfect whole. Where Étienne was steady, Lou was wild, filling every moment with laughter and light. But that was before. Before Lou disappeared. At twenty-two, Louella has become a ghost of her former self, retreating into a world of silence and secrets after deferring her college dreams. She's mastered the art of blending into the background, hiding the pain she carries like a bruise that never fades. When Étienne returns home after a year abroad, he barely recognizes the girl he used to know. Lou's spark is gone, replaced by hollow eyes and a fragile shell of who she used to be. Haunted by the change and unwilling to give up on her, Étienne sets out to uncover the truth behind her withdrawal. But some truths are better left buried. There's something she's not telling him, something dark-something that involves the one person Étienne trusts most in the world. The deeper he digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes, until Étienne is forced to confront a devastating question: How well do you really know the people you love? **There are serious themes discussed in this book.

Nandini is a sweet and innocent girl who moved to New York from India, leaving her dreadful past behind to begin a new life with hope. She had been through so much in her life at such a young age that all she wanted was a normal, peaceful life where no one knew who she was, where she could start and live her life like a normal teenager, and with that, all she wanted was a good college and job. But deep down, she was just a normal, innocent girl who craved love and family, but her fate never allowed her to have those things until her angel came into her life. Manik Malhotra is a profoundly handsome but down-to-earth boy from a wealthy family. His world revolves around his beloved family and his friends. Although he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, his hardworking nature and extremely phenomenal personality make him stand out. He is the type of boy that every girl desires to be with, but none could have him because his heart would not allow anyone to come close to him. And, even in this century, he believed what his father once said: "If the girl can't accelerate your heartbeat at the first meeting, she can't be the one." ♡➷♡➹♡ He walked into her life as an angel and filled all the voids in her heart. She was able to experience the love she had always desired because of him. When she saw him, she found herself drowning in his deep chocolate brown eyes, but due to her insecurity and bad experiences in the past, it was difficult for her to accept him and trust his love. On the other hand, when his gaze fell on Nandini, his heartbeat quickened, and he realised at that moment that she was the one. Her innocence and shyness pull him towards her. Even though she wasn't ready to accept him, he didn't leave her, as he knew deep down that she wanted him to be there. So are you ready to witness their journey of love, where not just their hearts but their souls are blended with each other?
