BOOK DESCRIPTION: Dela had always believed that being loved meant being protected. Born into a comfortable family and raised with everything she needed, she never imagined that one day she would have to learn how to stand completely on her own. But life has a way of preparing us for battles we never expected. At university, Dela falls deeply in love with Onyx. Their relationship feels safe, exciting, and full of promise-until a hidden truth threatens everything they have built together. When Dela discovers that another woman has been secretly living in Onyx's apartment, her world changes overnight. The betrayal leaves her heartbroken, but instead of allowing heartbreak to destroy her, Dela chooses to rebuild herself. She learns to cook. She enrolls in catering school. She turns a skill into a business. And slowly, the young woman who once depended on others discovers a strength she never knew she possessed. But just when Dela has built a life she is proud of, Onyx returns. This time, things are different. There is an apology, a child, a past that cannot simply be erased, and a love that still refuses to disappear. Can Dela trust Onyx again? Can love survive betrayal when both people have changed? And when the woman she has become is finally strong enough to stand alone, will Dela be willing to open her heart again? EVERYTHING BUT READY is an emotional contemporary romance about love, betrayal, personal growth, independence, forgiveness, and second chances. It is a story about discovering that sometimes the greatest preparation for love is learning how to become whole on your own.
