Kehinde Ajibade's week couldn't get any worse.Her boss hates her.Her bank account is on life support.And the restaurant she's dreamed of opening for years remains exactly that—a dream.So when her best friend drags her to the Osun Festival in Oshogbo for a much-needed distraction, Kehinde expects sore feet, loud music, and spiritual cleansing.She does not expect to come home and find a six-foot-four Korean stranger floating in her swimming pool.A very rude stranger.A very attractive stranger.A very expensive-looking stranger who stares at her like she's the inconvenience.Kim Seok Joon is the youngest CEO in South Korea's corporate world.Cold.Brilliant.Feared in boardrooms across three continents.The man who makes billion-dollar decisions before breakfast.Then one night, without explanation, he wakes up in Nigeria.In a stranger's pool.With no way home.Now Seok Joon is trapped in Lagos while his company teeters on the edge of chaos.His best friend, Min Ho, is leading a desperate international search.Shareholders are panicking.Enemies are circling.And every passing day makes Seok Joon's disappearance more dangerous.Unfortunately, his biggest challenge isn't corporate warfare.It's Kehinde Ajibade.The sharp-mouthed woman who refuses to care about his money.Who makes him sweep floors.Who argues with him over everything.And who somehow sees through every wall he's spent years building around himself.As the mystery surrounding Seok Joon's disappearance deepens, a reluctant friendship begins to grow between two people who should never have met.But some secrets refuse to stay buried.And when the truth finally catches up to them, Kehinde and Seok Joon will have to decide whether what they've found is worth risking everything for.Because sometimes the person who changes your life...is the one who falls into your pool.
