Nadia Wanjiru has one rule: never take late night jobs. She broke it for the money. Now she's paying a different price entirely. One corporate assignment. One room she was never supposed to be in. One conversation she was never supposed to understand — until she did. Because Nadia doesn't just translate words. She translates meaning. Implication. The weight of what powerful men say when they think no one important is listening. Malik Serrano is the most feared man in Nairobi. Publicly respected. Privately untouchable. And now completely certain that the quiet interpreter sitting across his boardroom table understood exactly what she wasn't supposed to. He won't let her leave with what she knows. She won't leave without knowing what he took from her. Her father is dead. His case number lives in Malik's financial records. And somewhere between survival and the truth, Nadia discovers that the most dangerous thing about Malik Serrano isn't what he's done. It's that she's starting to understand why. *THE NAIROBI PACT — where secrets are the only currency that matters.

Dr. Zara Chen is a sleep therapist who believes in science, schedules, and absolutely nothing else. Leo Vance is a tech billionaire who hasn't slept in three days, can't remember his last meal, and just proposed to a stranger on live television. The proposal was fake—a PR stunt to save his company's stock price after a viral meltdown. The sleep therapist was real—a last-ditch hire by his panicked board. The plan was simple: Zara fixes Leo's insomnia in six weeks, they stage a public breakup, everyone moves on. The plan did not include Leo falling asleep during their engagement announcement. Snoring. On camera. While Zara was mid-sentence about their "love story." Now the internet thinks she's a gold-digger drugging him for his money. His board thinks she's a liability. And Leo—when he finally wakes up—thinks she's the first person who's ever made him feel safe enough to close his eyes. Zara's professional rules: No touching the patient No dating the patient Definitely no fake-marrying the patient Leo's contribution to the rules: Oops As the fake engagement spirals into real chaos—tabloid scandals, rival tech CEOs, a sleepwalking incident involving a company server room—Zara discovers that the only thing harder than fixing Leo's insomnia is fixing her own heart. Because Leo Vance doesn't just need sleep. He needs someone to stay while he's awake. And Zara, who built her career on letting go at the end of the night, is terrifyingly good at staying. A romantic comedy about insomnia, accidental fame, and the particular hell of falling in love with someone who falls asleep at the worst possible moments.
