DEAR MARIA

Maria Adeyemi has one rule every birthday: no work.

But when a last-minute request from billionaire banker Jordan Rhodes ruins the only day she allows herself to rest, irritation quickly turns into obsession. Because the man who kept her waiting for hours is arrogant, powerful, dangerously handsome... and somehow impossible to ignore.

Jordan Rhodes is used to getting whatever he wants. Multi-million-dollar deals. Control. Loyalty. But none of that matters when it comes to Maria-the woman he has never truly been able to forget.

As their paths collide again inside the glittering world of Lagos high society, old desire resurfaces with frightening intensity. Between ruined birthdays, elite family drama, buried history, dangerous attraction, and emotions neither of them can control, Maria soon realizes Jordan is far more complicated than the ruthless billionaire the world sees.

And Jordan?

Jordan is already falling apart for her.

Set against the backdrop of luxury penthouses, old money parties, political connections, and the chaotic heartbeat of Lagos, this is a story about ambition, obsession, soft love hidden beneath sharp edges, and two people discovering that the most dangerous thing in the world might just be wanting each other too much.
