Description
When truth is rebellion, love is revolution. Actuary Samala Adebayo refuses to surrender her ethics-or her coils-to a corporate world that demands conformity. But when her whispered critique of a billion-dollar fraud catches the ear of Leo Thorne, the icy heir to a dynasty built on exploitation, her carefully controlled life implodes. He's trapped in a gilded cage of legacy and lies; she's fighting to be seen in a room that silences her. Their collision sparks an unlikely alliance. From the glittering deceit of London ballrooms to Dubai's soulless towers and the vibrant streets of Lagos, they battle predatory bosses, scheming families, and their own guarded hearts. Samala's brilliance challenges Leo's complicity. His defiance reignites her courage. But when their bond deepens into something dangerous-something real-the cost of rebellion soars. Separated by betrayal and oceans, Samala rebuilds in Dubai, her coiled crown a symbol of hard-won autonomy. Leo escapes his legacy in New York, haunted by the woman who shattered his walls. When a high-stakes case forces them together again, they face a choice: let the past bury them, or stand side by side to forge a new legacy-one where love isn't a compromise, but the ultimate act of defiance.
