Some men don't ask. They take.
It started in Benin.
In a club.
One look that undressed her. One conversation that ruined her. One number that became her favorite sin.
And suddenly, Fejiro couldn't walk away.
Anthony was 27, rich, intentional, and dangerous.
He kissed like a promise and touched her like he owned every inch. Sweet where it mattered, filthy where it counted. He didn't ask for her heart - he took it.
But then he came back.
Her first crush. Her bestie. The boy who knew her before Lagos, before diamonds, before Anthony.
Safe hands. Familiar smile. The one person who never made her heart race... until now.
One man wrecks her in the best ways.
The other reminds her who she was before she learned to burn.
When old flames and real life crash in, Fejiro must choose:
Hold on to the Lagos boy who owns her body and soul...
Run back to the boy who owns her history and heart...
Or lose herself before the love they gave her breaks her completely.
The Love You Gave Me - because some men take your heart. Others never gave it back.

Now, living quietly in a boys' quarters while fighting to clear his name, love is the last thing on his mind. Dr. Anita Nwaeze (26) has spent her life making sensible choices. Brilliant, compassionate, and fiercely independent, she has no shortage of wealthy admirers-including the charming Kingsley, the man everyone believes she should marry. But when a chance encounter brings the quiet, resilient Ebuka into her life, she discovers that the richest man in the room isn't always the one with the deepest heart. As their unlikely romance blossoms, they must face disapproving family, relentless social pressure, painful ghosts from Ebuka's past, and powerful enemies determined to keep the truth buried. Just when they begin to believe they've found their happily ever after, shocking evidence emerges that could destroy lives-or finally set an innocent man free. In a world where wealth commands respect, betrayal wears a familiar face, and love is constantly tested by pride, ambition, and prejudice, Anita and Ebuka must decide whether the greatest risk is falling in love... or walking away from it.

Hard Man
Although no one knew it, Desire was struggling. It was highly unbelievable because as a top worker in one of Lagos' most exclusive and influential night clubs, she was making thousands every night. All her other friends were living large, and building houses, so why couldn't she? Her father had died five years ago, leaving them drowning in a sea of debt. Her mother was sick, and couldn't do anything, so from an early age Desire had had to wear the mantle of responsibility. A twenty six million naira debt was on her neck, and for five years, Desire had consistently been paying it off; while simultaneously keeping a roof over her mother's head, and saving up money for school. Salvation came at last; but in form of the hardest, most handsome man she had ever laid eyes upon? General Babalola Halal. He was offering five million Naira for a whole month of exclusive sex. Pure, undiluted gratification. It was her job, and this offer was coming on a platter of gold. Even more tempting was the fact that it was the exact amount needed to be free of her father's debt. Completely. But he was hard, and demanding, and excruciatingly virile. Accepting this posed a risk far greater than millions. The stark reality of losing everything she stood for, and gaining nothing in return because a man like this never gave anything of himself. He was rich, five million Naira meant nothing to him. But she knew what she was getting into, she knew how addictive his touch was, and how hard it was to stay sane around him. Could she do this? Was losing her sanity a price she was willing to pay?Complete
