THE LATEST IN THE BESTSELLING SERIES

Lara Thompson knows three things:

Power has a price.

Silence kills deals.

And in this business, reputation is currency.

After years of fighting her way to the top of Nigeria’s oil industry, Lara finally has the deal that could seal her legacy, an $80 million game-changer that would prove she’s more than the whispers about how she got here. But when it implodes overnight, she’s thrust into a minefield of betrayals, political manipulation, and ghosts from her past that refuse to stay buried.


At the center of the chaos is Deji Suleiman, former lover, now ruthless rival, who’s turned the boardroom into a battleground. Set between Lagos, Dubai and Berlin. Lara Unlimited is a sharp, addictive corporate thriller about ambition, desire, and the high cost of playing power’s game. Because Lara isn’t here to survive it, she’s here to own it.

THE E-BOOK

LARA UNLIMITED is fiction, yes but every ambitious African woman will feel the truth in these pages. Meet Lara: bold, brilliant, and determined to rise in a corporate world that keeps trying to shrink her. From whispered biases to blatant roadblocks, she’s navigating the unspoken rules, glass ceilings, and power games that too many women know all too well. But Lara’s not here to play small. Through setbacks, sisterhood, and serious self-discovery, she learns to rewrite the rules, reclaim her voice, and own her power—on her terms.


This is more than a story. It’s a mirror, a movement, and a message: you don’t have to shrink to succeed. If you’ve ever been underestimated, overlooked, or told to “tone it down”—LARA UNLIMITED is for you.
