A damsel in distress. A rogue who makes matters worse. An on-the-run situation. Bandile Ngcobo has always prided himself on being a master of deception and manipulation. He has inherited his family's knack for swindling unsuspecting victims, effortlessly slipping through life on a wave of charm and cunning schemes. However, when he first lays eyes on Birde, the new mysterious but sharp-tongued waitress at his favourite tavern, something within Bandile shifts. Bird is a woman on the run and living a life of constant fear and uncertainty. To avoid detection, she hides by disguising herself as a waitress in a township. Unfortunately, her lack of familiarity with the area makes it difficult for her to blend in, and soon, she finds herself attracting unwanted attention. With trouble knocking at her door, the last person she expects help from is the infamous Bandile Ncgobo. Soon, there are people after them and Bandile's simple life of eating, drinking, sleeping, and scamming has turned into a game of hide and seek. But as they navigate the streets of Jozi playing hide and seek with dangerous men, something more than fear they feel begins to ignite in their hearts. Cover design by me ;)
