To Adanna her image was everything.
How wouldn't it be when she was entrusted by her late father to pursue her education and better the family in his absence.
The plan was simple, get good grades, a good job-enough to send money back home-and live the model life. How hard could that be? After all, she managed to get into her dream university, putting her that much closer to her dream life.
Everything was going according to plan until it isn't.
Waking up in a strange hotel on a school night wasn't part of the plan. Neither was waking up naked next to her dead boyfriend Rotimi.
Adanna is a lot of things, a liar, a serial manipulator, but she is not a killer and she is not going to go down without a fight.
She's determined to clear her name and uncover the truth. But with the police closing in, Adanna is afraid she might end up in prison if she doesn't act fast, or worse... in a grave next to Rotimi.

Sister Deborah
Imagine going from this: "Can I kiss you?" Those words reverberated through my ears and sent shivers down my spine, literally. I could sense the passion in her voice and the immense desire in her eyes. "Can I?" Deborah repeated, tilting her face close to mine. I steered my lips near hers and closed the gap between us, barely inches apart. _____________________________________ To this: "Neche, my love." Deborah said my name softly, almost in a whisper. She struggled to get on her feet to no avail, stretching her hands to her crutches, pissing me off with her pitiful actions. Timi leaped close to her and helped her up while I just stood there, numb, disgusted by her very presence. "Why did you bring this whore into our room, Timi?" I faced him angrily, and Deborahʼs face turned sour at my words. She looked so dazed, clearly not believing what I'd just called her. _____________________________________ Now, imagine the rest of the story. Or you could just simply read it and find out what this epic, thrilling blockbuster novel holds in store for you!Complete
