Two months ago, Simi lost the love of her life, Chima, and her world became a hollow echo of laughter and warmth. Now, fate demands she marry Duke-Chima's enigmatic, shadowed brother. Where Chima was light, Duke is shadow; where Chima was warmth, Duke is fire.
In his presence, Simi's heart races, her body betrays her, and every glance, every touch becomes a game of restraint and desire. Duke hides a beast behind his calm, powerful exterior-a man who will test her patience, her courage, and her deepest desires.
Between business dinners, whispered seductions, and stolen moments, Simi must navigate tension, temptation, and the promise of passion she never expected. But in this dangerous game, one misstep could consume them both.

we can be the first of both
Amira, a quiet, plus-size girl in her final year of college, has never been in love-and she never expected to be. She prefers staying invisible, keeping to herself, and surviving life's storms alone. While she finds comfort in stories where girls like her find love, she's never imagined herself as one of them. Romance is something she reads about-not something she lives. Leon Carter, 25, is the world's youngest billionaire. Smart, kind, and frustratingly handsome-he's every girl's dream. But behind his perfect green-flag image is one truth: he has never experienced love. Not even once. He doesn't know what his "type" is or what love is supposed to feel like. Until he sees her. When their worlds quietly collide in a small coffee shop, it's not sparks that fly-but a shift. Slow. Subtle. Inevitable. He begins changing without even realizing it. She starts feeling something she doesn't understand. And neither of them knows what to call it yet. This isn't the story of a billionaire saving a girl. It's the story of two people who've never known love-learning it together, quietly.
Binti Nasra is a working-class sorcerer and occult detective. She's also cynical, foul-mouthed, and is known for doing whatever it takes to get the job done.
