Enitan Alaide, a 24-year-old dreamer, believes she has found the love of her life in Nathan Adakole. Swept off her feet by his charm and grand gestures, she envisions a future filled with love, marriage, and family. But love, she soon learns, is not always what it seems. Nathan, 28, is Africa's golden boy-Forbes 30 Under 30, heir to the multibillion-naira Avalon Group, and a man with a very grand ambition. When the weight of his legacy comes crashing down, love is no longer at the forefront-it becomes collateral damage. Forced to choose between the woman he claims to love and the empire he has spent his life preparing to inherit, Nathan's world unravels with shocking revelations. His father, the man he wants to become, is not only corrupt but also attempts to murder Enitan. His mother is not his mother, and his entire existence is built on a lie. As the sins of his family threaten to destroy everything, he is given an impossible ultimatum-marry his ex, Annabelle, to save Avalon and keep his father out of prison. Caught between duty and desire, Nathan must decide: Is love worth sacrificing everything for, or is power the only thing that truly endures? Enitan, meanwhile, comes to a heartbreaking realization-she was never Nathan's love story, just another conquest. In a world where love and ambition collide, where betrayal is a language the Adokole's speak fluently, Nathan and Enitan must navigate the blurred lines between devotion and destruction. But when the dust settles, only one truth remains-not all that glitters is love. 📚Cover is subject to subsequent change.
