"He had billions. She had a story. Both were about to break."
Zenzile is a girl of the soil, a brilliant poet trapped in the dust of a Durban township. With no money for university and a "father" who treats her like a paycheck, her only escape is the rhythmic Zulu verses she scribbles on cement bags.
Thamsanqa Mbhele is the "Lion of the City"-a self-made tech billionaire with a heart of granite and a life built on logic. He has everything money can buy, but he's forgotten the sound of his own soul.
When a shattered champagne glass at the Oyster Box brings their two worlds crashing together, a cold business contract is born. Thamsanqa needs a "human face" for his foundation; Zenzile needs a way out. But as they journey from the glass skyscrapers of Umhlanga to the ancestral hills of Melmoth, they discover that Zenzile's past is hidden in a rusted tin-and she isn't just a poet. She is a legacy.
In a world of corporate greed, family secrets, and a jealous ex-fiancée determined to see them fail, can the Billionaire learn to be soft, and can the Poet find the strength to claim her crown?

It Has Me By The Balls
Letlotlo Motaung cuts into people's brains for a living. Getting into their hearts? That's where she fails. She's a neurosurgeon who keeps the world at arm's length, because if they get close enough, they'll find the dark folds she hides. The things that would make them leave. The secret that would make the Khumalo heir walk away without looking back. Enter Nkanyezi Khumalo. Annoyingly patient, impossibly persistent, and completely uninterested in her "no feelings" rule. He wants to annoy her, challenge her, love her - whatever it takes to get her attention. And dammit, it's working! Now 𝘪𝘵 has her by the balls. Maybe 𝘪𝘵 is his hands on her lower back when she tries to leave. Maybe 𝘪𝘵 is the way he looks at her like the secret won't scare him. Maybe 𝘪𝘵 is her own traitorous heart, choosing the man who could destroy her if she lets him stay. But Letlotlo's carrying something she never planned to share. Something that could make him walk away the second he finds out. She's falling. He's not looking back. What happens when the truth catches up? The question isn't if she'll run. It's whether he'll let her.
iZulu Lami
Crossing borders had never been part of her story. It wasn't something she had planned, or even imagined. "Mme... rotlhe re tshwanetse go tswa mo lefatsheng la lona." Words that once felt distant now echoed within her. One acceptance letter changed everything. A quiet shift. A loud consequence. Gaborone lived in her in her voice, her memories, her sense of belonging. And yet, she left. KwaZulu-Natal became more than a place; it became a beginning she did not yet understand. Somewhere between leaving and becoming, she met him- a gentleman who would change everything. Copyright © 2025 by Shelly m. This book is a work of fiction.
