Perfect for readers who crave the high-stakes suspense of Blood Sisters, the isolated resort glamour of The Guest List, and the fiercely emotional second-chance romance of Kennedy Ryan’s The Kingmaker. If you love billionaire heroes under fire, scarred heroines, and explosive tension, you'll love this one.
He was the king of Dota Island. Until he woke up with blood on his hands.
Billionaire real estate mogul Olumide Coker rules a tropical paradise. But his luxurious life shatters the morning he wakes from a blackout to find a dead woman in his five-star resort suite. Panicked and desperate to protect his empire from a skewed investigation, Mide makes a frantic choice to cover it up. Immediately, the trap springs shut. Anonymous blackmailers have undeniable photographic evidence, framing him for a murder he can't remember.
Former detective Tamilore Olutosin retreated to Lagos to escape the psychological scars of a tragic undercover operation. A destination wedding on Dota Island is supposed to be a lighthearted escape. Instead, it puts her directly in the path of her brother’s best friend—the man she shares a secret, turbulent history with, and the one man she swore she’d never tangle with again.
Mide knows Tami’s elite investigative instincts are his only hope. But as she digs into the digital footprints of the extortion, a chilling truth emerges. The blackmailers aren't just after his empire; they are orchestrating a deadly game for blood money. Worse, the shadowy organisation pulling the strings feels terrifyingly familiar. Trapped on the island with unseen enemies closing in, Mide and Tami must confront the dark underbelly of their shared past and surrender to the searing heat between them... before they both lose everything.
What Readers Can Expect: High-stakes romantic suspense. A fiercely capable, wounded ex-detective. A billionaire hero secretly in love with his best friend's sister. Forced proximity on a deadly tropical island. A second-chance romance wrapped in a gritty, fast-paced thriller. A contemporary African setting brought fully to life.
