Dubai Nights

A No Tears For Black Girls Story

When the Instagram posts stop coming, one sister will risk everything to bring her home.

Destiny Clarke thought she'd finally caught her break—a luxury modeling contract in Dubai, all expenses paid, a chance to escape her suffocating student debt and help her struggling family. The photos show infinity pools, designer clothes, and the life she's always deserved.

But the messages stop coming.

Her little sister Jamila knows something is wrong. The tracker goes dark. The consulate won't help. The police don't care about another missing Black girl chasing fame overseas.

So Jamila does what the system won't: she becomes the bait.

Armed with a fake identity and a wire, she infiltrates the same "modeling agency" that lured Destiny away. What she uncovers is a sophisticated trafficking network that preys on young Black women desperate for opportunity—and a conspiracy that reaches far beyond Dubai's glittering skyline.

But going undercover means becoming prey. And in a world where Black girls disappear without a trace, Jamila might be walking into a trap she can't escape.

A visceral thriller about the girls no one looks for, the sisters who refuse to give up, and the price of being seen in a world that wants you invisible.

Perfect for readers of Tami Hoag, Karin Slaughter, and Stacy Willingham who crave diverse voices and unflinching truths.
