Maita, a Zimbabwean graduate student, travels from Atlanta to London with one goal: to rekindle her romance with Ade, her Nigerian ex-boyfriend. She made a terrible mistake when she broke up with him — and now she wants him back.
But on the flight, she meets Chris, a charming British man who is instantly captivated by her. When Maita’s plans in London don’t go as she hoped, she finds herself drawn to Chris and caught between the love she lost and the possibility of something new.
As both men vie for Maita’s heart, the lines between love and obsession begin to blur, setting off a dangerous chain of events that threatens to change all three of their lives forever.
Set between London and Atlanta, Turning Tables is a romantic thriller about love, missed opportunities, second chances, and the perilous edge between passion and obsession.
“A fast-paced and engaging read that you will not be able to put down. I am going to need someone to turn this into a movie... you got us HOOKED!”
“I love how Maita’s story transcended race, borders and different cultures. A great love story rich in characters with an unexpected end.”
“I love that it was written from an immigrant experience but the love triangle is relatable to everyone... Thank you for bringing ‘me’ to life in this story. I feel seen.”
Join the list and I'll let you know the moment they’re live.
