Lindiwe cleared her throat before her next words. 'Prince Jabu said he is looking forward to your first engagement'.
'Oh'. Dominic's response was barely above a whisper and came forth as a question as opposed to the intended reply. Leaning back, he ran his hand through his dark brown curls that lightly-brushed against the top of his shoulders, a motion he often did in discomfort. He hoped Miss Shezi would elaborate. Feeling like there was a double meaning to the statement. Or the unsettling feeling he had that things were about to change was perhaps clouding his judgement. His throat suddenly felt dry......

Bloody Zulu Men
"You're my hero, Superwoman," he said, his voice rough like gravel - like he wasn't used to saying anything soft. I smiled, his gaze steady as I tied the last strip of the bandage around his shoulder. "How come my superpowers don't work on you and me?" I asked, quietly, like it wasn't already eating me alive. He didn't flinch. "Maybe they don't work on people who already belong to you." His callused hand brushed my cheek. My chest ached. "Sukhala mama, ungowami wena." And the tears came. Because I'd asked him to fake love me. And now I didn't know where the lie ended and the truth began. He said "mama." inqondo yagoloza,intliziyo yavuma. (my brain said no, but my heart said yes) Ngewami Mamba is a force-an award-winning gynecologist, tech mogul, and humanitarian with a passport full of stamps and a bank account in pounds, not rands. She's the woman every man wants and every woman envies. But when her younger sister announces an unexpected engagement, Ngewami's perfectly curated world tilts off its axis. She was supposed to be first. The wife. The bride. The standard. Now, with the spotlight slipping and her ego bruised, Ngewami will stop at nothing to beat her sister to the altar-even if it means faking a relationship with the one kind of man she's always sworn off: A Zulu man. Sharp-tongued, emotionally armored, and unapologetically ambitious, Ngewami isn't looking for love-she's looking for a win. But love has a twisted sense of humor. And it just might be written in bold, bloody Zulu.

Assassin Love ✓
[COMPLETE.] Going to war with your dad's enemy seems chaotic. But when he asks you to pretend to love his enemy's son for information to help attack them is another type of chaos.

THE ESCAPE (HOW TO FLEE A SCANDAL IN 6-INCH HEELS)
THE ESCAPE She kissed a prince. His enemies photographed it. Now the only way out is a wedding ring. Vena Atieno is not in the business of mistakes. As the President's granddaughter, she's spent her life being precise, controlled, and three moves ahead. Crown Prince Malik al-Hassan of Malabo was supposed to be an intelligence asset. One stolen note. One ruined night. One photograph that the wrong hands turned into a weapon. Now she's engaged to a man she doesn't trust, in a kingdom she doesn't know, hunting a truth that powerful people have already killed twice to keep buried. Her parents died in a mine collapse fifteen years ago. The official report called it an accident. Vena has never believed that. And somewhere in Malik's father's palace is the proof - if she can survive long enough to find it, and if the brooding, complicated man she's technically supposed to be marrying doesn't become the thing that undoes her first. The Escape is a deliciously dangerous royal romance about fake marriages and real grief, palace intrigue and long-buried scandals - and two people who were bound together long before they ever met.

"You seemed cold," he replied, voice sultry, alluring and tempting her far beyond what she thought she could endure. "I thought to help. That's all."

"Let go." It came out as a whisper, but it was commanding and more than she had hoped to accomplish with the torrent of lechery that was coursing through her. "And leave you cold?" His hand brushed her hair off to one side, brushing and exposing the nape of her neck, while the other stroke her stomach. "That would be ungentlemanly." Raneem could do nothing but bite her lips to keep herself from crying out. She noticed how quickly she was breathing and cursed herself. He knew he was playing her like a fiddle and she was sounding out silent notes that told him he was doing things right.
