Pussy Tales of a City Girl

In the city of bright lights and hidden desires, she learned to play by His rules. And for the first time, she was free.

Queen Ikori has the voice Lagos wakes up to.

Until the morning she is sacked on live radio for telling the truth about a story that should have never been killed.

With a box of memories and a one-eyed white cat named Halo, she lands in New York on a work visa that feels more like a leash — hosting City Girls, the podcast everyone is listening to.

At Wolfe Media, she finally feels seen. Until her married boss, Adrian Wolfe — powerful, wounded, and obsessed with collecting women who say no — begins to offer her the city in exchange for pieces of herself.

She has a covenant taped to her fridge in Queens. He has a contract in his drawer.

When Queen discovers a hidden hard drive that proves her firing in Lagos was not a mistake but a bribe, she must choose: stay safe and silent and keep the skyline, or tell the truth and risk exile all over again.

From the humming generators of Yaba to the frozen benches of Bryant Park, from a fourth-floor walk-up with no hot water to a studio built from a door and two filing cabinets, this is the story of a woman who refuses to be the cat that carries red lace in its mouth just to be photographed.

PUSSY TALES OF A CITY GIRL is a luminous, propulsive literary debut about:

Power and survival in modern media

Faith, purity, and covenant in a city that sells desire

A long-distance love that refuses to do math

What it costs a woman to stop carrying what the world puts in her mouth

Told with the precision of a journalist, the tension of a thriller, and the grace of a love letter to two cities, this is not a story about seduction. It is a story about freedom.

For readers of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Chibundu Onuzo, and Colleen Hoover who crave a heroine who is both soft and unbreakable.

If you have ever had to decide whether to be kept or to be faithful — this book is for you.
