The Y in Your Man is Silent Book 1 by Yvonne Maphosa

(Book 1)

Born and bred in rural Zimbabwe, Fierce tries to find her feet in Cape Town. She is pursuing a PhD at a university in Cape Town and the story takes us through the complex journey of university life, love, work, school, family and all-round relationships.

As Fierce’s story unfolds, she finds herself having to fight her way through societal standards, uphold and practice the traditions she was raised by, support her family back home and still try to stay true to herself. She believes she will never fall in love considering her multiple hilariously failed relationships, until she comes face-to-face which a dangerously charming man who sweeps her off her feet.

It’s the beginning of an emotional roller coaster as she clings on to love against all odds. It’s all roses and champagne until he marries another woman. She decides to stay anyway. But with the money, the cars, the houses and the steamy nights come the endless fights with his wife, dodging his family, dealing with fellow side chicks and constantly defending herself from the attacks of the righteous.

He loves her but his love is laced with lies, cheating and pain. Yet, no matter how many times she lets him go, he always finds a way back into her life.
