Two powerful families. One arranged marriage. Two dangerous secrets. Ntandokayise "Ntando" Dikana is twenty-five, stubborn, outspoken, fiercely independent-and protected by one of the most powerful families in the Eastern Cape. To the outside world, she is a future neurosurgeon and the beloved youngest daughter of the Dikana family. But beneath that innocent image is another identity. LIONESS. A name whispered throughout the underground world. Across the country stands Zwelibanzi "Banzi" Zulu. Twenty-seven. Quiet. Serious. Intimidating. The kind of man who doesn't need to raise his voice to make an entire room fall silent. His underground name is THE WOLF. Banzi doesn't want a wife. Ntando doesn't want a husband. But their families have already made the decision for them. The lobola is arranged. Banzi refuses to attend. Ntando is furious. And neither of them has ever met the person . Neither of them knows what the other is hiding. Neither knows that the person standing in front of them is connected to the underground world they have spent years navigating. The Zulus have heard of Lioness. The Dikanas have heard of The Wolf. But they don't know their identities. And neither does the other. Until one night, danger forces them to protect each other. And suddenly... those eyes look familiar. That voice sounds familiar. That presence... is impossible to forget. Two dangerous people. One house. One marriage. One secret neither of them is prepared to discover. And somewhere between the arguments, family drama, loyalty, betrayal, heartbreak and healing... an arranged marriage becomes something neither of them expected.

She won the lottery. She bought a ticket to everywhere. But love? That was never part of the plan. Until it was.

A wounded woman running from her painful past crashes, literally, into a Zulu prince who sweeps into her life with flowers, protection, and a claim that terrifies her: she's his destined Queen. As she fights to protect her heart and he battles dark forces threatening his throne, they must navigate love, destiny, and the secrets that could either bind them together or tear them apart forever.

"The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of." - Blaise Pascal

Never thought the guy I met would be literally arranged to marry me. I mean, I'm a Hollywood queen. Singer. Model and an owner of multiple businesses. Now, getting married pulls me back in the life I already built for myself and my 7 year old boy. Realizing that money and fame don't bring happiness, I opted for the arranged marriage.

Things never last forever, but love does... I hope you read the first book so you can enjoy the plot twists. Explore Siyabonga and Ntandokazi's journey as their love for each other is tested. But in the hard way.

She knew she wasn't designated to be with a younger man but didn't anticipate such a age gap. Love was what she wanted to see herself drown in since she affords herself pretty well.
