An Estonian proverb says, “If the bread in the oven is a failure, you lose a week; if the harvest is a failure, you lose a year, but if a marriage is a failure, you lose a life. ‘For better for worse’ is a ubiquitous marriage vow expression. But the ultimate question is: does true love truly conquer all? Kelvin and Anne were a happily married couple – having fallen in love during their university days. Life was rosy and the colours of their rainbow shone ever brightly…until life threw them a number of curves that eventually bursts their bubble of happiness. Kelvin lost his writing job at a major publishing house as a result of his unyielding scruples – leaving Anne, a banker, to shoulder the family responsibilities, including caring for their young son. Pretty soon the financial strain became more than she could handle, as her moralist husband failed to secure another job. The emotional and psychological effects of their dire situation, slowly began to eat at the fabric of their union and eventually tore the once-loving couple apart. A demanding job, an overbearing superior, her perceived nonchalant attitude of Kelvin, towards their plight, and the lure of a luxurious life by another man, eventually compelled Anne to walk out of her marriage and into an illicit affair. But she soon learnt the reality of the adage: all that glitters isn’t gold. Meanwhile Kelvin, engulfed by ineffable feelings of rejection and abandonment found himself in a very dark place. Haunted by an unrelenting sense of failure, he spiraled into depression, prompting him to commit suicide… Limes and Lemonades is a powerful and poignant story about love, lust, power, and betrayal. Readers will definitely be thrilled from the very first page to the last sentence

In this intriguing sequel, Kelvin is rushed to the hospital where he is promptly treated and nursed back to health by Audrey – a medical doctor and the younger daughter to Mr Johnson, an ageing but ruthless business man who owns a renowned and thriving publishing firm. An unexpected friendship soon evolved between Kelvin and Audrey – one that helped facilitate his getting another writing job at Audrey’s father’s publishing firm and fast-tracked his promotions up the ladder of management. The couple’s friendship blossomed and they become engaged. However, Audrey’s true nature soon came to light, as Kelvin, to his dismay, realised that she is a controlling, self-centered, and spoilt daddy’s girl – forcing him to have a rethink of the future of their relationship should they get married. Meanwhile, Mr. Johnson, owing to his lack of a male heir and failing health, found a fitting successor in Kelvin. He was willing to make him the CEO of his publishing firm. But there is a heavy catch: Kelvin must divorce Anne and marry his daughter Audrey. On the other side of the spectrum, life had dealt Anne a series of punishing blows, including the deaths of her loved ones.

Kelvin found himself between what he considered to be, a rock and a hard place, as he came to terms with the fact that he still had feelings for Anne —despite all the horrible things she had put him through in the past. But are his feelings strong enough to forgive her? To trust her again? To love her again? And what about his marriage proposal to Audrey? And her father’s irresistible offer of making him the CEO of his publishing firm? In this explosive follow-up to Limes and Lemonades readers will find themselves holding on to the edges of their seats.
