Pages : 207
Book Description
Reserved, honourable Mr Malik. You wouldn�t notice him in a Nairobi street � except, perhaps, to comment on his carefully sculpted comb-over � but beneath his unprepossessing exterior lie a warm heart and a secret passion. Not even his closest friends know it, but Mr Malik is head-over-heels in love with the leader of the local Tuesday-morning bird walk, Rose Mbikwa. Little can he imagine the hurdles that lie before him. Even as he plucks up the courage to ask for Rose�s hand, thieves, potential kidnappers and corrupt officials, not to mention one particularly determined love rival, seem destined to thwart Mr Malik�s chances. Will an Indian gentleman in the heart of Africa be defeated by the many obstacles that stand between him and his heart�s desire? Or will honour and decency prevail?
