About the author
Gigi Kiru is a dark contemporary romance author who loves to write about morally grey heroes and the women they would burn their world down for.

The Silence of Wanting
The first time Atlas Okoye saw Sabrina Sagoe, he was already promised to Roseline Beaumont in a political marriage meant to strengthen a ruthless family alliance.
He was a man raised entirely for duty, built to inherit a cutthroat empire where love is a lethal liability.
Then she walked into his life and ruined everything.
Now, trapped in a dangerous world of family betrayal and a vicious sibling rivalry with his stepbrother Julian, Atlas has to decide how much of the empire he is willing to fracture to keep her. But Sabrina has her own armor, a past that taught her to stay invisible, and a firm rule never to trust a liar.
Atlas might be used to dictating the terms, but in a game where one wrong move means losing her forever, the perfect heir is about to find out exactly how much of his empire he's willing to burn down to keep her.

Pre-Order the Love vs Legacy trilogy!
Love vs Legacy is a high-stakes romantic suspense trilogy about Atlas Okoye and Sabrina Sagoe, two people who were never supposed to become anything more than a mistake.Atlas was raised to inherit a ruthless family empire where duty comes before desire and love is considered a weakness. Sabrina has spent her life learning when to avoid feeling, when to walk away, and never to trust someone who gives her a reason not to, especially a man who lies. Neither of them expected to encounter the other.What begins as an impossible attraction between them becomes something neither can leave behind, even when a political marriage, powerful family alliances, and the weight of the Okoye legacy make choosing each other increasingly dangerous. But love unfortunately is only part of the battle.Behind the wealth and prestige of the Okoye family are secrets, betrayal, sibling rivalry, corporate power struggles, and people willing to sacrifice almost anything to protect what they believe belongs to them.Across three books, Atlas and Sabrina will have to decide whether wanting each other is enough, what they are willing to surrender for a real chance at love, and how much they are prepared to lose before they can find their way back to each other for good.
