Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Khira Caroline Oganga is a brilliant, willowy product of two sharply conflicting worlds. Raised in Kenya under the strict, patriarchal laws of her traditional Luo heritage, she is simultaneously polished into a sophisticated young lady by her British boarding school education. Khira dreams of a modern, independent future as a career woman-until the sudden, tragic death of her benefactor shatters her security and threatens to force her into an arranged child-marriage.

Enter Erik Larson Thorsten Lindqvist Jr.. A forty-year-old Swedish multi-billionaire, Erik is a ruthless corporate warlord who commands a massive international empire from his glamorous Nairobi penthouse. When their paths collide in a corporate elevator, an undeniable, magnetic tension sparks between them. Seeking to rescue the gifted teenager from her traditional shackles, Erik moves her into his palatial estate, intending to adopt her and shape her future.

But Khira is no docile child, and Erik is no safe harbor. As Khira's hidden, burgeoning sexuality awakens, a psychological game of chess turns their patron-protegée dynamic into a volcanic battlefield of passion and control. To claim each other, they must confront the ultimate wrath of Khira's ancestral family, the dangerous underbelly of post-independence Kenyan politics, and the terrifying realization that they have both met their match.

This is not only exotic, culturally stimulating and not run-of-the-mill Harlequin, it's an intercultural study. The book is for the discerning and culturally savvy Africanists. Ever heard of A Many Splendoured Thing? Well this is the African version of that. Karen Ammond, Elite Professionals Magazine.
