Pumulo Mubita, heiress to a luxury hotel and resort empire, arrived in Mongu expecting only one thing: expansion.
As the new COO of the Mubita Group, she is determined to transform the banks of the mighty Zambezi River into Zambia's next world-class safari destination.
There's just one problem.
The river already belongs to someone else.
Litapi Lisulo is the powerful heir to one of the Zambezi's most respected fishing dynasties. His family controls the boats, the fishermen, and the trust of the river communities. Self-assured, composed, and impervious to intimidation, Litapi refuses to allow wealthy outsiders to turn the river into just another luxury playground.
Especially after Pumulo's father publicly insulted his family.
Now caught in a battle of legacy, pride, and power, Pumulo finds herself facing the most frustrating man she has ever met.
But somewhere between the dawn fishing lessons, the crowded river markets, the luxurious golf courses tucked away in the sands of the Kalahari, and the breathtaking beauty of the Mongu floodplains, their rivalry begins to turn into something far more dangerous.
Because the more Pumulo falls in love with the river... the harder it becomes to ignore the man born to protect him.
