She came for a wedding. She left with a name she couldn't forget.

Liyana Xaba wasn't supposed to fall for anyone-especially not the brooding architect with sharp eyes, a sharper tongue, and a quiet sadness he hides behind tradition. Hlumelo Dalindeybo has never been one for small talk or slow dances... until her.

She's Zulu. He's Xhosa.
She inherited a business. He builds homes.
And when her request for an architect turns into late-night calls and dangerously close silences, lines begin to blur.

In a world where culture speaks louder than feelings, and love is both a risk and a rebellion, can two souls stitched from different cloths truly be threaded in gold?All Rights Reserved
