The Thing with Zola

After returning home with her dreams crushed, 29 year-old Zola gets a second chance at life in this sexy contemporary office romance

Twenty-nine. Heartbroken. And back home with nothing to show for the life she left behind.

Zola's life didn't just stall — it collapsed. An expired visa will do that to you.

Now she’s back in Johannesburg rebuilding from scratch, dodging family judgement and learning from past mistakes. There’s no room for love in her new life plan.

Enter Mbali. Equal parts irresistible and infuriating, he threatens to undo everything she is trying to rebuild. With Mbali comes heat, but also history in the form of his ex Okuhle… who just happens to be Zola's razor-sharp new boss.

Caught between desire, ambition, and a past that won’t stay buried, Zola is about to learn that real, messy love doesn’t wait for you to be ready.

The Thing with Zola is a sharp, sexy contemporary office romance about starting over and what it takes to let yourself love again.
