Still healing from a relationship that nearly broke her, she finds herself unexpectedly pursued by Qophelo Dlomo - a forward, confident Zulu man with marriage on his mind from the very first encounter. When Qophelo proposes marriage, foregoing courtship and even dating, will Naye allow the walls she's built to protect herself be wrecked or will fear of the unknown conquer?

After surviving something that changed everything, Linomtha is learning to live again - slowly, cautiously, and on her own terms. But when she meets Qhawe, a quiet man with a gentle soul and a steady presence, she finds herself drawn to the kind of safety she never believed she'd feel again. He doesn't try to fix her. He just sees her - scars and all. A slow-burn, healing romance about trauma, trust, and the kind of love that asks for nothing... but gives everything. -----

Sometimes the truth you are looking for is not the truth you want to hear and live with. A 17-year-old Ukhona Mthembu becomes a victim of the consequences of her mother's past decisions and mistakes. She's dying to find out who she really is because she thinks it is the reason behind her problematic life. At least she finds a place to confide in when she meets a man of many talents. A handsome university football player-Siphosethu Khumalo-who's also a model and a DJ sweeps her off of her feet. Opposite poles attract each other but birds of the same feathers fly together. But what's the to find out? The truth always comes out.
