Annie Kingsley had a plan.
Leave Nigeria. Study law in New York.
Build a life that made her parents proud.
Love? That was never part of the syllabus.
On her first day in the United States-jetlagged, curious, and slightly overwhelmed-Annie decides to visit her university campus... and accidentally walks into Pete McLean. Charming. Kind. Annoyingly unforgettable. What starts as a simple encounter turns into a deep friendship that becomes her anchor in a foreign country.
Then comes Aurora Eleana-full name Bernardo Eleana Aurora-bold, warm, and impossible not to love. Annie insists on calling her Aurora, partly because it suits her, and partly because she's obsessed with the singer AURORA. Together, the three of them build a friendship filled with laughter, secrets, late-night study sessions, and dreams bigger than Manhattan.
But life doesn't stay simple.
Years later, when Annie thinks she finally understands her heart, she meets John Dave-"Dee." Intense. Protective. Magnetic. The kind of love that feels written in the stars... and dangerous at the same time. He isn't just her lover; he feels like her twin flame.
But love triangles don't come with rule books.
As old friendships shift, hidden feelings surface, and Pete's quiet affection grows into something deeper, Annie finds herself caught between loyalty and destiny. Between comfort and fire. Between the boy who was there from the beginning... and the man who feels like forever.
Through heartbreaks, arguments, tears, growth, and choices that could change everything, Annie must decide:
Is love about who was there first...
Or who feels like home?
A story about friendship, ambition, jealousy, destiny, and a Nigerian girl who crossed oceans only to find that the biggest journey would be her heart.
