Four years sober. One step from losing it all. And the man she shouldn't want is the one who forces her to face everything she's tried to leave behind.
Kerry Effah has rebuilt her life piece by piece and returns to Accra determined to protect her hard-won recovery. But her new job puts her under the steady gaze of Dominic Chase-ambitious, magnetic, and disarmingly kind-and suddenly the past feels closer than ever. As buried grief and family secrets surface, Kerry must choose: fall back into the patterns that nearly destroyed her, or risk everything to write a new story.
Set in contemporary Ghana, When History Repeats Itself is a stirring tale of addiction, forgiveness, and the quiet courage it takes to choose love-and yourself-again and again.
