Synopsis

When the most dangerous case of Zuri Okon's career turns out to be the one she's building against her own heart, she discovers that some arguments can't be won.

As a third-year associate at one of West Africa's most cutthroat law firms, Zuri doesn't do distractions. She doesn't do feelings. And she absolutely doesn't do Clinton Adam - Lagos's most brilliant, most infuriating, and most unreasonably attractive senior partner. Three years of careful professional distance, and she's never once let him see her reach.

Then Clinton assigns her to a high-stakes divorce case, books them on a flight to Cape Town, and suddenly Zuri is trapped in a five-star resort with the one man she's spent three years pretending not to notice.

It's just a case. It's just proximity. It's just the way he looks at her like she's the only person in the room - in every room - that's the problem.

Because Clinton Adam doesn't play by the rules Zuri wrote to protect herself. He sees through the blazer and the bun and the gold-rimmed glasses straight to the woman underneath, and he is devastatingly patient about it. And the more Zuri tries to argue her way back to sense, the more she realizes that somewhere between Lagos and the Cape Town coastline, the evidence has shifted.

She built her whole life around not falling. She may have just run out of precedent.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Erika Alagba writes stories about love as it really is-complicated, resilient, and shaped by the seasons we don't always expect. Her work explores marriage, grief, identity, and the quiet moments when people are forced to choose between endurance and self-preservation.

With a deep interest in human behavior and emotional healing, she draws from years of listening to stories that rarely make it into neat conversations. Her writing is grounded in compassion, honesty, and the belief that telling the truth can be a form of care.

This is her first novel, written for women and families who have felt stretched to their limits and are still searching for clarity, hope, and the courage to begin again.

She believes that becoming yourself is not an act of rebellion, but an act of survival.
