Dear Reader,
Romance suspense novels account for only seven percent of the romance novels in the market. That's a lacking figure, and I hope many writers in the near future, decide to write more romance suspense. In The Almost Kiss, together, Femi and Chioma solves Emeka's Valentine-day murder, and on doing so, Chioma is exposed to Femi's heroic personality, which makes her eventually fall for him. This is a novel on how crime brings two love birds together.
I have always enjoyed reading romance suspense, partly because it intrigues me, but mostly because I'm always anxious on how the protagonists will solve the mystery at the end, so I thought it was time to write a romance suspense myself. Exactly a year ago, I wrote a contemporary romance short-story of same title. At that time, it was a standalone story that ended when Chioma found out that her crush Emeka was expecting a baby with his girlfriend Amara. Ever since, I knew that someday I would write the complete story, and here it is.
The Almost Kiss is a story of true love, which begins and ends at a single site. Chioma and Emeka meets at a restaurant on Saint Valentine's Day and instantly fall in love. Unfortunately, before the end of that very day, Emeka is killed by Chioma’s boyfriend Uche, and Chioma never gets to see him again. This should be an author’s note and not a spoiler, so I’ll leave you to read the story yourself. Nevertheless, I want to thank you for purchasing this book. I’m optimistic that you’ll enjoy reading it just as much as I enjoyed writing it.
With love,
Nick
