By day, they clash over high-stakes cases, defending corrupt elites in Nigeria's cutthroat legal world. By night, they collide in Velvet Haven, a clandestine BDSM club where Saint, a skilled Dom, guides Lara, a curious submissive, into a world of trust and surrender. When Lara discovers her new associate is her masked mentor, professional boundaries shatter, igniting a steamy romance that threatens their careers. As they navigate courtroom battles, jealous rivals, and their own desires, Lara and Saint must decide if love is worth risking everything. Surrender is a provocative romance weaving power, love, and submission against the vibrant backdrop of Lagos, where control is an illusion and trust is the ultimate gamble.

His shoulders shook as he let out barks of laughter. "Meet them first!"
"So what's the time duration of our relationship?"
"We will date for two months. You said you want to spice your life with fun. I will help you with that"
"This relationship will be easy. No feelings attached. It will be easy for me to break up with you," I mused and rubbed my chin.
"So will you sign?"
