Temi needed the money. So she became T. Okafor - cap low, voice dropped, chest bound - and walked through the gates of the most dangerous job of her life.
Her employer, the cold and calculating Damien Okonkwo, knew she was a woman before she said a word.
He kept her anyway.
What he didn't tell her was why. Or about his dead brother. Or the powerful men trying to bury him before he could finish what he started. Or the fact that working for him would make her a target too.
She was hired to protect him.
She never planned to trust him.
She definitely never planned this.
SHADOWS - a slow burn Nigerian romance where the danger is real, the secrets run deep, and falling in love is the most reckless thing either of them will do.
