Join us at the Ritzy in Brixton for a special evening with Oti Mabuse – the much-loved star of Strictly Come Dancing and I’m A Celebrity… – as she celebrates the launch of her swoon-worthy debut romance novel, Slow Burn. Oti will be in conversation with TV presenter and host AJ Odudu, as they dive into her love of romance fiction, her journey into writing, and the experiences that shaped and inspired the sizzling pages of Slow Burn. There will be an audience Q&A, so get your questions for Oti ready! Copies will be available to purchase on the night via Round Table Books and Oti will be signing too! "My name, Otlile, means 'I am here' in Setswana, and that's exactly what I am – here. For too long women like me – empowered, curvy, black women – haven't been able to see ourselves in swoon-worthy, heart-racing romances... I want to change that." -Oti Mabuse About the Book For dancer Lira, Latin Ballroom is everything. With her younger sisters pursuing dancing careers, and the responsibility of running the family studio, Lira’s ambitious flame is about to flicker out. Until a chance encounter sees her auditioning for Slow Burn, and coming face to face with a blast from her past that sends her reeling.
