BOOK I in The Undercurrent Trilogy Kehinde Adegbite-Falana, brilliant Harvard grad turned Lagos lawyer, never imagined his life would be turned upside down by a man like Briggs. But when his sister Tomiwa ropes him into helping Briggs with a criminal case, it's more than just a simple legal favor. Briggs isn't just any client. He's a streetwise agbero, with ties that reach deep into the underbelly of Lagos, and as Kehinde digs deeper into Briggs' case, he uncovers a web of lies and manipulation that forces him to confront not only the legal system but his own carefully guarded desires. What was meant to be a professional obligation soon turns into something far more dangerous: an irresistible connection that neither man can ignore. Kehinde's family, bound by tradition and expectations, would never accept his growing feelings for a man like Briggs. But the threats to their love don't just come from Kehinde's family. The past is clawing its way back into their lives, and the powerful man who once held Briggs in his grasp is now targeting both men, determined to destroy their fragile love before it can even begin. As danger circles and the weight of their secrets becomes too heavy to bear, Kehinde must make a choice: Can he fight for the man he loves, even if it means confronting the demons of both their pasts? Or will the threat of betrayal, violence, and family loyalty tear them apart? IMPRESSIVE RANKINGS #1 in mmromance (25/06/25) #5 in gayromance (08/08/25) #1 in lagos (12/08/25)

BOOK II in The Undercurrent Trilogy Razor lives fast, fights dirty, and never apologizes. Lagos streets raised him, and he knows how to survive-by keeping one foot in trouble and the other in the hustle. Loyal only to his boys, high enough to quiet the noise, Razor swore he'd never let anyone own him. Then Zioranmachi Obi shows up. He is the nephew of the new Inspector General and is the new DIG over Razor's area, and Razor absolutely hates everything about him. Obi is everything Razor isn't: calm, level headed, disciplined. Where Razor's emotions burn like wildfire, Obi's emotions are more like water, steady and unshakable. Enemies by badge and by blood, they're forced together when the streets demand alliances neither of them expected. The more Razor pushes, the more Obi holds firm, and the more Obi resists, the more Razor craves the crack in his armor. In a city where loyalty is currency and love like theirs is dangerous, can chaos and order find common ground; or will they destroy each other first?
