Not every relationship makes it out of university. But Kiki and Malakai were supposed to be forever.
Everything was perfect, until it all went up in flames. Three years after their epic break-up, Kiki’s worked hard to forget her first love. But just as she thinks she’s got her life under control – jumping into the distractions of her romance-by-calendar-invite boyfriend, and plans for her best friend, Aminah’s, wedding – Kiki’s career implodes, the family business teeters on collapse, and Malakai returns .
. . As Malakai takes up his role as Best Man opposite her Maid of Honour, suddenly Kiki can think of nothing else: their simmering chemistry, what went wrong, and why it is now impossible to act normal around each other.
Juggling a new job, the prospect of her parents’ restaurant being sold, and keeping her best friend from going full bridezilla, dealing with The Ex is the last thing she needs. But somehow the spark between them is only getting hotter – and threatening to ruin everything. They just have to get through the wedding, so why does it feel like playing with fire?

Over de auteur van Sweet Heat
Babalola’s debut novel, Love in Colour, was published in 2020 by Headline Publishing Group. The collection of short stories “remixes ancient love stories from Asia, Greece, and around Africa for a new audience”, including pre-colonial Yoruba stories, Orisha traditions, and Ancient Soninke tales. She stated that she hopes the book is a “step towards decolonizing tropes of love”. Babalola changed many of the stories to make the female characters more empowered, and to demonstrate consent and love without suffering. She has said that its important to her to write about and for Black women, stating: “you’re used to seeing white women play [romantic archetypes]. They’re fun girls, independent, they have their own minds and they have access to their own iteration of romance. Why don’t we have that?”
