Ghungroo - The Siren Call of Lovers (#1 - Completed)

Layla has had a one-sided, secret 'love affair' with her brother's long-standing best friend, Riaan. It started at age 16 and she has never quite gotten over it.

Now, 23 and an independent university student, she finds her path crossing with that of Riaan's once more as he travels back to his home country of South Africa, after a seven year stint in London.

There is an immediate attraction between the two, but the odds are against them.

For starters, Riaan is 10 years older and engaged to be married. Then there's Layla's brother to consider who isn't going to be too pleased with the development of a love affair between his sister and best friend.

To make matters more complicated, there's also the vast cultural and social differences between the two that cannot be ignored.

Will their attraction to each other be enough to overcome the odds?

...And, it doesn't quite help that Riaan has a past he isn't too proud about sharing with the young and innocent Layla.
