after the rain
Medical school student by day and nightclub stripper by night. When Miriam Dogo’s uncle threatens her family, she’s forced to dance at the Ozone Club. Terrified she’ll be recognised and her medical career will go up in smoke, she develops an exotic persona and wears a mask to protect her identity. But who is that man constantly in the audience, his beautiful eyes staring straight into her soul? And why can’t she stop thinking about him? Miss Rain wears a shimmery golden mask and dances with an unparalleled sensuous grace. Surely Oya, the Yoruba goddess of weather, has come to life. Because no mere human could mesmerise Dr Segun Akintola so and make him long for things he’s run from for a lifetime. Night after night he sits there with eyes only for her. Until she disappears into thin air. And still, night after night he goes looking for her. Will he ever see her again?

the wake-up call
This Valentine’s Day would be different. A new boyfriend. A romantic surprise ranch getaway. But when the ranch turns out to be his home and the surprise, his wife, Amanda Achike records history’s worst ever Valentine’s Day. And decides she’s not built for love or romance. Then comes a strange, yet intriguing request from childhood friend Obiora Uchendu. Please help him win over the woman of his dreams. She might be cynical about love, but she’d do anything for Obiora. After all, he’d given up so much for her. Would assisting him restore her faith in true love?
a family for christmas

Suddenly faced with full custody of his son, he must sort out the legal issues, protect Nonso from heartbreak, and guide the boy through this devastating change in life.

Stop obsessing over the high-spirited, garrulous, and thoroughly unsuitable woman staying with his mother’s next-door neighbour.
