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?
