"Naomi, you've erected walls around you and I'd make sure that I break down everyone of them till I get to you. I always get what I want. Make no mistakes about it."
Stigmatised in a world of rumors,deception and lies created by men to blotch her reputation, Naomi vows never to let anyone in. How true were these lies?
Until she met billionaire businessman and egotistical Nathan Scott, a foreigner on a business trip who turns her against her strong-willed beliefs and principles.
Naomi discovers there is more to Nathan than his pride and egotistical comments.
What happens when their relationship turns into something real? Will Naomi learn to love again? What happens when secrets are exposed, identities revealed and will Nathan accept Naomi for who she is despite the rumors surrounding her?
NB: The first chapter is a short poem and was inspired as a result of a true life incident. It was written when I was doing my A'levels.
