Nneka Fashola built her event planning company from a borrowed laptop and a one-room office in Westlands, Nairobi — seven years of work, her name on every program, her reputation in every room — until the night her husband took the microphone at her own gala and used it to bury her in front of everyone. When she walks out of the Sarova Stanley with nothing, it's Thabo's quiet younger brother Ruva — a nightlife photographer who has watched her from a careful distance for years — who offers her his studio and a way back in. But as Nneka rebuilds, old receipts begin to surface, and what she thought was a betrayal of love starts to look like something far more calculated and far more dangerous. Ruva is gentle where Thabo was smooth, steady where everything else is falling, and the closer they work, the harder it becomes to pretend she doesn't feel it — or to trust that feeling after everything she missed. Can a woman who built everything once trust herself — and someone new — enough to build it all again, when she's still not sure how deep the damage goes?
