She arrives in Cape Town for a two-week vacation. At immigration, she discovers she’s married to a man she's never met. Until she proves the records wrong, she can’t go home.

Political analyst Lara Hollis is used to solving complicated problems, not becoming one herself. Now her passport is confiscated. Stranded in South Africa, Lara watches the life she built slip out of reach. She is lost in a country she barely knows.

Wildlife photographer Morné Oosthuizen opens Lara’s eyes to the South Africa he loves. Amid dramatic coastlines, rugged mountains, and wildlife rescues, he shows her a future she never imagined she’d want.

To Morné, she’s never a problem to solve. She’s simply a woman worth getting to know. Before long, it becomes impossible to believe they were only meant to pass through each other’s lives.

But on paper, Lara still belongs to a man she’s never met. A man who’ll stop at nothing to protect the life he built on a lie.

To free herself from him, Lara must risk losing Morné.
