What would you do if you woke up at 1:03 AM and found a bleeding stranger sleeping in your bed? Nosipho Mkhize never expected her quiet township life to be interrupted by a dangerous man with cold eyes, sharp words, and secrets buried deeper than his wounds. He hid in her room. She should have called the police. Instead, she let him stay. Now Nosipho is about to learn that some strangers don't just change your life- They destroy it. To Ice, Ngiyakuzonda is a South African romance-thriller about love, grief, loyalty, and the dangerous people who find their way into our hearts when we least expect it

Feelings were complex. Uncontrollable. Atomic even. No one could confidently say they would know when they would feel what emotion. The best they could do was to not let them cloud their judgement in the moment they did arise. So decisions wouldn't be made through them. They had to actively fight off the instinctual need to follow what their hearts said because not everything whispered by it was good for everyone. Just like now. His heart was screaming at him to intervene. To stop her from marrying him. But what did his heart know? All it knew was how to traitorously hold onto pain. To torture itself with the idea of something that would never happen. To foolishly clutch at unrequited love and hope for affections it would never receive. As the fifteenth anniversary of his childish crush on his best friend's twin sister approached as quickly as the crush had snapped into place when he had met her all those years ago. He had to make a choice. Get his act together and the affairs of his heart under control to finally be at peace or prepare to endure through the pain of watching her marry someone else. Because her wedding was approaching just as quickly. Not giving his heart enough time to let go of something that it had stubbornly held for far too long. But as the preparations were underway, the venues were booked, and people were beginning to celebrate. There were no signs that his helpless devotion would ever fade.

'Hard working' is a partially correct term that one would use to describe Zoya Khan. 'Procrastinator' would be yet another. Life can be confusing and consuming if you're the type of person who leaves everything until the very last second. Yet somehow, it always works out for Zoya. People refuse to believe it but she works best under pressure. Much like your average brown granny's pressure cooker, the whistles represent the hours ticking by. That final fifth whistle is when Zoya cooks up the best ideas. Young, brown and unmarried don't really mix well in the Desi community but Zoya is much too focused on building the life she's always dreamed of, to worry about marrying the useless son of the nosy aunty down the street. New opportunities arise and Zoya finds herself in a new country. Eager to expand her own self-made business yet also manage the firm she's currently working at, Zoya must juggle her career, family and social life. Like every good Desi story, drama must unfold when a dashing man enters Zoya's life... To be completely honest, the drama actually unfolds once his mother enters but you know how it goes. Follow Zoya on her not-so-typical brown tale of drama, romance, work and family.
