Bleeding Love is a raw, intimate journey of self-reclamation set in the high-stakes world of fashion, survival, and second chances. At its heart is Naya Okafor, a gifted Nigerian designer whose rising brand, NAYA&CO., becomes a battlefield for healing after years of surviving a toxic and abusive relationship with her former business partner and lover, Dimeji.

Having escaped with her life but not her silence, Naya pours her pain into a groundbreaking fashion collection titled Bleeding Love. Each design stitches together fragments of her trauma and resilience—clothes that speak not just to style, but to scars, to rage, to grace. The collection is her way of bleeding honestly, and in public.

When she partners with Korede, a soulful photographer with a secret connection to her past, Naya must confront not only old wounds but the tangled truth about who saw her breaking—and who stayed silent. As she prepares for the most important showcase of her career, anonymous threats surface, past betrayals resurface, and her legacy hangs in the balance.

But Naya is no longer willing to be silenced.

Through courtroom battles, public scrutiny, and deeply personal revelations, Bleeding Love explores what it means to be a woman unmaking a narrative built by others—and rebuilding herself stitch by stitch.

This is a story of trauma, but more importantly, it's a story of transformation. It’s about art as resistance, fashion as testimony, and love that doesn't come to save you—but walks beside you as you save yourself.

Bleeding Love is not just a novel—it’s a movement.
