MMA celebrity fighter, Mayan Samar, is back in the country and on a mission to prove himself worthy to the public. He’s earned his titles from years of hard work in the octagon, but his ratings are dropping, and so are his business deals. Timid and mousy Zarna Rai is his answer, but once he gets her into his penthouse, he discovers there’s more to her than meets the eye.

Arini Vlotman

A romance fanatic, book worm, book hoarder, and writer, Arini Vlotman is a people’s person and a wordy nerd. She finds comfort in almost any space, but there is nothing quite like being with her husband, son, and fur babies. Where writers are her superheroes and readers are her tribe, Johannesburg, South Africa is where Arini calls home. 

One of Arini's favourite hobbies is Fangirling (is that a thing?), musicians, books, movies, and obscure characters. When Arini finds something she loves, she delves into it like Harry Potter dives into the Whomping Willow.
