Yahimba

Yahimba has lost someone she loved, and the grief is bad enough that she leaves everyone and everything familiar behind. She moves across the country, hoping distance will let her put the past behind her.

The move brings an unwelcome surprise. Eyimofe Alele-Williams, her brother's best friend, takes an interest in her. He is handsome and charming, and she can see how easily she could fall for him.

She has been hurt by love before, and she has no wish to put her heart at risk a second time. Her misgivings about Eyimofe are real. The pull between them is strong all the same, and it stirs a passion she did not know she had.

Yahimba has to weigh her feelings against her caution, and the slow-burning attraction between them keeps testing her resolve. She must decide whether she can trust again or whether leaving is the safer choice.
