An arranged marriage, each with their own agenda. Love is a battlefield, but with guns, it's a warzone. Who's going to come out alive?

Nosipho thought she had left her high school years-and her first love-far behind. Now a driven young woman with career ambitions, she's focused on supporting her family and forging a new path in life. But a chance encounter at a bustling Durban taxi rank throws her back into memories she thought she'd buried. Behind the wheel of a humble taxi sits Sibusiso, her high school crush, with the same easy charm that once captured her heart. As they reconnect, Nosipho finds herself drawn to the genuine, kind-hearted man she remembers. Sibusiso claims he's struggling to make ends meet, working as a taxi driver to get by. Nosipho believes him, feeling the tug of an old romance rekindling despite his seemingly modest circumstances. What she doesn't know is that Sibusiso is hiding the truth about his success as a way to test her love. While Nosipho's family pressures her to pursue someone more stable and ambitious, she faces a growing conflict between her heart and the expectations around her. When she learns the truth about Sibusiso's wealth, Nosipho feels betrayed and questions whether he ever trusted her feelings for him. As they confront each other's insecurities and past misunderstandings, they both face choices that will determine their futures. In Crossed Paths, Nosipho and Sibusiso navigate love, secrets, and family expectations in a story of trust, sacrifice, and the courage to choose love despite its risks. Together, they must decide if their second chance at happiness is worth the struggles that come with it.

An arranged marriage was never what I wanted but it seemed to be what life was dishing out to me, and to make it worse, my husband-to-be preferred women on the ...lighter side. And by the lighter side, I mean lighter side of the scale and skin color. #1Bwwm #2Interracial Book 1 of the Unwanted Series PS: There are typos in this work, mostly because autocorrect always puts in the most ridiculous wrong things and I always miss despite reading them before posting, until I have posted and read over and over again. There's also the issue of timelines that don't add up and wrong names. I'm currently editing it in a new document. I hope it will be better. FP: 2017 C:2019
