"I set her on fire; how can I watch her burn?"
Zara Amadi is the princess of her family-spoiled, beautiful, and utterly ruined by a single encounter in Toronto five years ago. Since that day, her heart has not known peace. While she spent five years studying in Lagos, the world saw a girl of class and beauty, but Zara was merely a girl waiting for a debt to be paid. The debt is Zafar Galado's heart.
But the Galado Manor has its own rules.
Now twenty-three and finally moving into the estate, Zara finds herself walking a tightrope of scandal. Between a matriarch who hates her Igbo-Christian roots, a fiancée who wants her gone, and brothers who protect her at all costs, the air she breathes is toxic.
Zafar is a silent killer-a man who knows Zara is dangerous for his soul but finds himself suffocating without her. He is a man who would let her commit a crime just to see her smile. But when he tries to fulfill his family duty and asks her to be a second wife, he realizes he has pushed his princess too far.
Zara Amadi waited five years for a throne. She won't settle for a footstool...
