Not all demons come to take, some come to stay.
Kemi, a celebrated beauty doctor and industry disruptor, has mastered the art of perfection—until a collision with a dangerously caring mechanic forces her to confront the scars she’s hidden, the love she doesn’t believe she deserves, and the family she never had.
TRIGGER WARNING
This one runs deep before it runs sweet.
Kemi and Boma’s story is a romance, and yes, you’ll get your happy ending. But Kemi has spent her whole life controlling every variable so nobody can abandon her twice, and this book doesn’t look away from what digging up that kind of wound actually costs.
Inside these pages you’ll find:
- Infant abandonment
- Death by fire
- A controlling, coercive past relationship (not the hero)
- Custody and parentage conflict
- Identity fraud
- Medical malpractice and professional sabotage
- Family secrets
- Grief and found-family themes
- Strong language
- Explicit sex
If any of this is hard for you, please read with care, or sit this one out. Your peace of mind comes first.
For everyone else: this is the heaviest YDBC entry yet emotionally — darker than Obinna — but the thorns clear by the end, and what’s waiting on the other side is worth it.
