An arranged marriage between two families. One family eventually moving from Lagos to Texas. The son, who is to become the husband isn’t aware that this woman in his parents house is actually his wife. 

Things get heated, he has some issues for sure and everything that could go wrong goes wrong - literally. Then the arranged wife notices something particular about the husband. They discuss it, fight about it and eventually come to the conclusion that lies are being told. 

The secrets y’all. I mean damn. There’s a secret on every corner in this book. Things you can’t guess. Secrets that make you want to side eye any and everything about a person that you’re interested in dating or marrying.
