Gold Dust at Timbuktu

After Mansa Musa's legendary pilgrimage floods Timbuktu with gold and lowers its value across the markets, manuscript binder Sira must protect her family's workshop from a powerful merchant who wants to seize it. When caravan accountant Hamid arrives under suspicion of stealing a gold ledger, the two are forced into an uneasy alliance. As they trace the missing record through scholarly circles and across the desert, their professional arguments become charged with reluctant admiration, and survival in the wilderness turns into something far more intimate. In a city where knowledge and gold are both currency, Sira and Hamid must decide whether to trust each other with the truth—and with their hearts.

Whiteout with the Ranger

When a climber falls near Raven's Saddle and a whiteout swallows the mountain whole, Dr. Lena Ortiz has exactly one radio, one failing patient, and one impossible partner: Elias Boone, the ranger she's blamed for years for the rescue that broke them.

As old wounds resurface and a recovered transmission threatens to prove her worst fears right, Lena must decide whether to trust her own judgment, his changed choices, or both. Elias can get them off this mountain—but keeping Lena means finally telling her the truth he once carried alone, even if it costs him everything he's protected.
