Scars After Harmattan By Cynthia ‘Tasha’ Osajibenedict

“At forty, Makamba Ekong has everything she once swore she’d never live without—money, power, and the kind of fame that makes her impossible to ignore. From the crowded streets of Calabar to the glittering lights of Nollywood and Hollywood, she clawed her way up, fueled by two truths she carved into her bones: poverty is a curse, and sex is survival.
She is brilliant. She is ruthless. She is unforgettable.
And then she meets Seleem, a billionaire who doesn’t play by her rules. For the first time, Makamba feels the one thing she spent her whole life avoiding—love. But love speaks a language she doesn’t understand.
How does a woman who has always equated money with affection and lust with safety learn to accept something softer? Something she can’t buy, seduce, or control?
