Amara Okafor is a proud Nigerian woman with rich 4C curls, deep brown skin, and a fire in her soul. Struggling under the weight of student loans, family expectations, and the realities of being a Black woman in corporate America, she takes a job as a live-in nanny for the son of a powerful businessman. Nathaniel "Nate" Whitmore is a self-made billionaire with a reputation for being cold, calculated, and completely uninterested in love. That is, until Amara enters his world-challenging him, grounding him, and making him feel things he thought he was incapable of. What starts as a professional arrangement soon turns into something much deeper-stolen glances in the kitchen, tension-filled nights in the study, and whispered confessions in the dark. Nate is used to control, but with Amara, desire burns hot and reckless. Their chemistry is undeniable, and when they finally give in, it's explosive. But can Amara, a woman who has fought so hard for her independence, allow herself to fall for a man who seems to have everything? And can Nate prove that love isn't just another business transaction-but something wild, raw, and worth risking it all for? ⸻

His friends think he's insane. Sarai thinks he's annoying. But when fate (and a little meddling from her bestie) keeps pushing them together, she starts to wonder... Was one kiss really just a mistake? Or was it the start of something she never saw coming? 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝: 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟏𝟕𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝: 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟗𝐭𝐡
