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.

(On Hold) Lines of Lust and Betrayal
❌ Blurb coming soon ❌ This story has been living rent-free in my mind for weeks - until I finally had to stop fighting it and just listen. It wasn't even supposed to be next. It quietly shoved its way ahead of two other projects I planned to post first. That said, there won't be a set posting schedule, and there may be weeks without updates at all. My other WIPs are still my priority, and between writing, work, and life, it's tough to keep a steady pace across multiple projects. I hope you understand - and only start this one if you genuinely feel like it, knowing it will take its time. ⚠️Content Note This is a cheating romance - there are explicit infidelity scenes on page. The main couple will find their way back to each other, and the story ends in an HEA. If this theme or ending isn't for you, please feel free to skip this one. I have other stories on my profile with different tones, tropes, and outcomes that might better suit what you're looking for. 💫 About the Story Lines of Lust & Betrayal is a standalone told in two parts: Part I - betrayal: messy and painful. Part II - the journey back: redemption, forgiveness, and rebuilding something worth keeping - deeply human.
