Synopsis:

How do you move forward when everything that once anchored you… broke you?

Itohan Adolo was the girl who loved fiercely and believed deeply, until betrayal shattered her trust in both God and love. Years later, she wears her strength like armor and keeps her past buried where no one can touch it.

But when she crosses paths with Osaro Ikimi—a man whose quiet compassion challenges her walls—Itohan finds herself wrestling with questions she thought she’d closed for good. Can love really begin again after heartbreak? Can faith truly be restored after silence?

And when the man who hurt her most reappears—this time vulnerable to her retaliation—Itohan must decide if healing is worth more than revenge.

To Live Again is a tender, redemptive journey of a woman learning to trust again, in herself, in love, and in the God, she thought had forgotten her.

Excerpt

“Now I see where you came up with your outlandish assumption.”
His voice caused her to stop digging in her purse for her keys and returned her gaze to him.
“May I?” He gestured toward the drawing.
She nodded, and he removed the tack that held it to the corkboard. She watched as he sauntered toward her. He stood before her. Any closer and his body would touch hers. She moved back, but he moved closer, until she was backed up against the Smart Board. Itohan decided right there and then, she was having a heart attack.
He stared down at her and she accepted his challenge holding his gaze. A vision of him taking her to the morgue because she’d died under the intensity of his gaze flashed through her mind. That could not and would not be her portion, so taking him on wasn’t in her best interest. He was testing her, and she was bound to lose. She should be running and not entering the ring with him. Warning alarms went off in her head. This was a dangerous game, so she gave in. With nowhere else to go, she stepped aside.
“Did that feel like I play for the other team?”
She was stuck. When she told her brother the story, he told her she had inadvertently questioned Osaro’s manhood. Right now, he was trying to prove a point and with the way her breath caught in her chest, he had accomplished his goal.
He bent down, putting his ear at the level of her mouth. “I didn’t hear you, Ms. Adolo.” His tone demanded an answer.
“No,” she whispered.
