ABOUTquote
My name is Asake Enoch. I am a romance author based in Nigeria and I write contemporary Billionaire romances with a cultural flair. I focus on strong, entrepreneurial female leads and grounded, complex male characters. My goal is to bring the heat, flavor and resilience of Nigeria to a global audience through fiction. When I\'m not writing, I\'m exploring the vibrant streets of Nigeria for inspiration, or getting lost in a good book to find my next beautiful story idea.

Updated at Dec 7, 2025, 05:34
She hates his guts. He loves her food. And neither of them know they are already falling in love....​Amara is fighting to keep her father’s legacy alive. Baba’s Pot is a noisy, smoky, authentic Bukka in the heart of Lagos, serving the best Jollof in town. She doesn't have time for distractions, and she definitely doesn't have time for the arrogant man who just bought the building across the street.​Enter Tunde Vaughn. Billionaire. World-renowned Chef. The owner of 'The Garnish' a silent, air-conditioned, overpriced restaurant that serves "deconstructed" Nigerian food to the elite.​From day one, it is war. Tunde hates Amara’s smoky generator; Amara hates Tunde’s soulless perfection. They fight over parking, they fight over customers, and they fight over who really owns the street.​But Amara has a secret. At night, when the stress gets too much, she confesses her fears to ChefX, an anonymous friend on a cooking app who listens, understands, and gives the best advice.​What Amara doesn't know is that ChefX is Tunde.​And what Tunde doesn't know is how to tell the woman he is falling for that the man she trusts the most is the same man she swore to hate forever.When the heat rises in the kitchen, will their romance survive the truth? Or, is this a recipe for disaster?
