Temilade "Temmy's" future with Damola looked so bright until a visit to his apartment late one night after an emergency call caused a distortion in her otherwise perfect picture. Damola thought he's seen it all with the ladies. They wanted the money, the looks, everything he had to offer. Then he met Temmy and he started building the perfect future with her or so he thought. Series of miscommunications lead to distrust which in turn leads to manipulation by a third party, someone least expected...... Now the battle begins, in a bid for the owner to claim what he rightfully terms his and she to claim what she's always thought of as hers.

Brief extract Suddenly, the door had inched open, half a wrinkled face visible behind the tautened chain. "Hello. Who is it?" The words I was going to say had of course been well-rehearsed, repeated over and over in my mind like a mantra, but now that the moment had arrived I found myself struggling to remember them. "Mrs Harvey... I think that you might... well, that you might be..." The door closed, then slowly opened once more, the chain this time unlatched. And there she was before me - half a metre away, within arm's reach. Thin lips gradually crooking upwards at each corner like the slow beatific kindling of a summer's dawn. "Oh yes love, I know who you are." Length: 70,000 words About the author: Originally from England but for the last 16 years I've been living in Italy. I hope therefore that the Italian aspects of the novel will have a certain gloss of authenticity.
