Ofosua Addo, a Ghanaian American heiress, meets Cole Drake at a lavish publishing party. They end their flirtatiously conversation with a kiss that neither of them will ever forget! Time passes and Ofosua is to be married to a man that her traditional and domineering mother adores. However, Ofosua’s big, beautiful Ghanaian wedding quickly turns into drama, leaving her heartbroken, and eventually, in the midst of self-discovery.
Yet, as fate would have it, Cole comes back into her life, but their situations are much different than when they first met. They are workplace rivals. Will Ofosua and Cole be able to reignite the flame that was once so hot between them while overcoming expectations and tradition?
"I couldn’t put Gold Coast Dilemma down — it’s Crazy Rich Asians meets Ghanaian high society, packed with breathtaking traditions, scandalous secrets and unapologetic opulence. Nana Malone has been a favorite of mine for years, and this new book weaves a story so vivid and glamorous, it feels like you’re right there in the heart of it all," raved Kennedy Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of Before I Let Go and This Could Be Us.

How does Ofosua’s internal struggle reflect the broader themes of the book?
Ofosua’s internal struggle is the ultimate battle between doing what’s expected and choosing what actually makes her happy. She’s got the dream job, the perfect-on-paper fiancé—until she catches him cheating. Suddenly, she’s questioning everything: her choices, her worth, and whether love should feel like a checklist. She starts wondering if she can love her culture and still see beyond it? And starts to see that doing everything her mother’s way will never make her happy. Through career struggles and unexpected romance with Cole, she learns that true happiness starts with choosing herself—boldly, unapologetically, and without anyone else’s permission.
