her parents are hiding something. The last thing she wants is to be sent away in the middle of their cold war; especially at Christmas. Thrown into the overwhelming heat and chaos of Lagos, Daniella feels out of place and longs for home. Then there’s Demola; sharp-tongued, infuriating, and impossible to ignore. He pushes all her buttons and makes her blood boil, but somehow, he also sparks something deeper inside her. She hates his smart mouth and sarcastic jokes. Yet, the more she tries to resist, the more drawn she becomes. Because sometimes, the thinnest line between love and hate is all it takes to set a heart on fire. But holiday flings rarely survive real life. And when reality comes knocking, so do choices that will haunt them for years to come. Set eight years before their second-chance reunion, this prequel is a steamy, slow-burning, emotional journey into first love, heartbreak, and the complicated truths we carry into adulthood.
