BOOK I in The Undercurrent Trilogy

Kehinde Adegbite-Falana, brilliant Harvard grad turned Lagos lawyer, never imagined his life would be turned upside down by a man like Briggs. But when his sister Tomiwa ropes him into helping Briggs with a criminal case, it's more than just a simple legal favor.
  
Briggs isn't just any client. He's a streetwise agbero, with ties that reach deep into the underbelly of Lagos, and as Kehinde digs deeper into Briggs' case, he uncovers a web of lies and manipulation that forces him to confront not only the legal system but his own carefully guarded desires. 
 
What was meant to be a professional obligation soon turns into something far more dangerous: an irresistible connection that neither man can ignore.
  
Kehinde's family, bound by tradition and expectations, would never accept his growing feelings for a man like Briggs. But the threats to their love don't just come from Kehinde's family. The past is clawing its way back into their lives, and the powerful man who once held Briggs in his grasp is now targeting both men, determined to destroy their fragile love before it can even begin.
  
As danger circles and the weight of their secrets becomes too heavy to bear, Kehinde must make a choice: Can he fight for the man he loves, even if it means confronting the demons of both their pasts? Or will the threat of betrayal, violence, and family loyalty tear them apart?

Assassin Love ✓, de sihle0071

[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 catch is, you can't fall for his son because it isn't apart of the deal. But love has a funny way of doing the opposite of what the world tells you to do. "Would you do it for me?" I ask. "Sure, anything for my lawyer and I understand why you are mad, I would too after being disrespected in that manner." he answers and I chuckle. "Ooh, now I have an overprotective client, lucky me." He chuckles. "Very lucky phela I'm supposed to hate you." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Nothing let's leave it." "Okay." Please don't tell me he has already figured it out.

Lagos Mafia Matrimony, de EleosEsi

They rule Lagos in silence, luxury, and blood. By day, they're billionaires - CEOs of Nigeria's most powerful conglomerate, Aureum Corporation. By night, they're kings of the underground. Leo. Michael. Scott. Obi. Matteo. Five ruthless men bound by violence, loyalty, and empire. And at their side? Four women who weren't handed crowns - they earned them. Zayden, the CEO with a legacy of blood and brilliance. Debbie, the fashion mogul who dresses queens and undresses enemies. Stacie, the influencer who turned fame into control. Betta, the silent millionaire who owns the shadows. But when Matteo - the coldest of them all - invites a woman named Siena into their world, everything changes. She's not rich. She's not refined. She's not ready. But she might be the second most dangerous queen of them all. ⸻ Power is inherited. Fear is learned. But to sit on this council... You have to earn your seat - or die trying.

Fate keeps pulling them together, from awkward encounters to fiery clashes. Just as sparks begin to fly, Nini confesses her feelings-only to be rejected.

unspoken vows, de Hindatutazara0

Azeem is a rising scholar, the pride of his conservative community, and a man with a spotless reputation. He's respected, well-spoken, and deeply religious. Everyone assumes he'll marry someone like himself-quiet, obedient, and traditional. But life has other plans. Zaynab, fiery, bold, and unpredictable, has always been the "black sheep" of her family. When a scandal threatens to ruin her name, her father forces a nikkah between her and Azeem-to protect family honour. Neither of them agrees, but neither has a choice. Now married to a man who resents her for her past, Zaynab feels caged. Azeem, on the other hand, finds himself constantly drawn to her strength, despite everything he believes he stands for. They argue. They clash. They hurt each other.u But love? Love creeps in quietly. Just when Zaynab starts to open her heart, Azeem discovers something devastating-something she kept hidden. He feels betrayed. She feels misunderstood. And just when they're on the edge of falling apart for good... tragedy strikes, forcing them to face the truth: Do they really hate each other, or are they just afraid of love that doesn't fit their perfect picture? #forcetolove

Breach Of Contract , de Cieracious

Enemies to Lovers × Forced Proximity × Opposite Attracts!! • Female Lead - A fierce, idealistic lawyer with a quiet fire in her. Sharp-tongued in court, soft-hearted in private. Driven by justice, not afraid to go against power. • Male Lead - A cold, calculated businessman who believes everything (and everyone) has a price. Rational, guarded, a man who plays by his own rules. ________________________________________________ 📍Setting: Modern-day Mumbai, with glimpses into Delhi's courtrooms and Goa's scenic escapes. ________________________________________________ When the fire of justice meets the ice of power, sparks aren't just inevitable-they're explosive. Advocate Maanvi Iyer is known for taking up cases against corporate giants, especially those who think money can bury truth. She's brilliant, respected, and unapologetically bold. She's never lost a case... until now. Enter Rohan Mehra - Mumbai's most ruthless young tycoon. Cool, commanding, and arrogantly successful. When his billion-dollar real estate firm is sued by displaced slum dwellers, Maanvi becomes the face of the legal battle against him. What begins as cold courtroom clashes turns into a war outside - subtle sabotage, public showdowns, heated arguments, and endless friction. But when they're both forced into a high-stakes mediation in Goa to avoid a PR nightmare, something shifts. Because beneath the suits and sarcasm, they begin to see pieces of each other neither ever expected - her vulnerability buried beneath all that fire, and his softness behind all that steel. But can two people on opposite sides of the law and life ever find common ground? Or are they doomed to always meet only in battles? ________________________________________________

In a city where love could get you killed, he opened the door to the one man who could ruin him - or save him. Kelsey Anayo is Lagos State's youngest lawyer, confident in the courtroom but guarded in love. He's queer in a world that's still learning tolerance, and nothing matters more to him than protecting his sister, Amber, and outrunning the trauma of his past. Then Damilare walks back into his life. A wounded stranger. A fugitive. A ghost from a night that stole everything. Kelsey doesn't recognize him - doesn't know this is Jagun Ọ̀jọ́ Nlá, the masked criminal who turned his life into a nightmare. But Damilare remembers Kelsey. And staying hidden in Kelsey's house was never part of the plan... until feelings got in the way. What starts as fear becomes fascination. What should be hate begins to bloom into something deeper - something forbidden, fragile, and dangerously real. But can love survive when the truth finally comes to light?
