About this book
I Fell in Love with a Prisoner
Simthandile Ngwenya is a focused final year criminal profiling student at the University of Pretoria, determined to finish her degree and secure a better future. But a routine academic assignment takes an unexpected turn when she steps into one of South Africa’s most notorious prisons.
There, she crosses paths with Luthando “Ace” Mkhize—a feared inmate who commands power even behind bars. He is dangerous, unpredictable, and everything Simthandile knows she should stay away from. Yet one encounter is enough to entangle their lives in ways neither of them planned.
As boundaries blur and tension rises, Simthandile is forced to confront the reality of studying crime versus standing face-to-face with it. Caught between fear, curiosity, and forbidden attraction, she must decide how far she is willing to go—and what it could cost her.
A gripping story of power, vulnerability, and choices that change lives forever.
