#Book 1 In The Legacy Series. Arwa Mas'ud and Muhammad Hisham Maleek are opposites in every way-she's a young, idealistic student with a love for novels and a passion for change; he's a wealthy businessman with a hidden life as a detective. _____________________ Arwa knew she shouldn't have challenged him. But when she stood up against Hisham-the cold, arrogant detective with too much power and too much pride-she never imagined the price she would pay. A single argument, a moment of defiance, and suddenly, she's trapped in a forced marriage with a man who would rather punish her than love her. Hisham never let anyone get the better of him. Yet Arwa had humiliated him in front of an audience, and he wasn't the type to forgive. Marrying her was supposed to be a lesson-a way to remind her who truly held the power. But what happens when the lesson backfires? When the girl who was meant to break refuses to bend? When the man who swore he wouldn't care starts to? And when enemies lurking in the shadows realize that the easiest way to destroy Hisham... is through the wife he never wanted? Some battles are fought with weapons. Others with words. This one? It's war. Read to find out.

NEW UPDATES: FRIDAYS & SATURDAYS INSHA ALLAH Yesterday, Mardiyah ended a phone call with Kabir with three words: I love you. Today, he's getting married. It has to be a joke. Fueled by shock and betrayal, Mardiyah jumps on the next flight from Spain to Nigeria. She storms into the mosque where his wedding is taking place-and publicly humiliates him. That moment? That was only the beginning of her vengeance. But everything changes when she meets Imran. She hadn't planned for him. She hadn't expected him. A single dad with a golden-retriever heart, Imran becomes her biggest supporter-even though he knows she's only using him to get back at Kabir. Then things spiral. Mardiyah discovers a deeper connection to Kabir's family-one she never saw coming. Was it a mistake to use them as pawns in her revenge? Was fate playing a bigger game? Now, tangled in secrets, ties of blood, and a love she didn't plan for, Mardiyah must decide: Will she follow the path of vengeance she carved, or embrace the truth she's been running from-even if it changes everything?

The Costantino Sequel - Featuring Costa, Millie, the twins, and all the Accardi madness readers know and love, ROCCO is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers descent into obsession, loyalty, and fire. The Accardi family is back. And this time, it's Rocco's turn. At 30 years old, Rocco Accardi is known for a lot of things-his temper, his recklessness, his complete disregard for consequences. As the future underboss of Sicily's most feared family, he was never meant to feel anything. Until her. Alessia Russo, 26, Palermo's top real estate agent, has spent the past three years keeping things strictly professional. Which is hard to do when your most dangerous client spends every meeting flirting like it's a sport-and you've had a crush on him since day one. He's chaos. She's control. Their relationship was never meant to cross the line. But one wrong step-and everything spirals. Rocco doesn't know how to love. But he knows how to destroy. And once he decides she's his, he'll burn the city before he lets her go. Something is coming. And nothing will be the same after it hits.

After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look back at him.

He ripped my heart out. Everything we had, all the love we shared, it was a lie-a cruel game in his twisted world of power and greed. To him, I was just a transaction, a means to an end. I believed in the vows we exchanged, while he saw me as nothing more than a nobody. But now, the tables have turned. I'll take aim straight for his heart, watching as every barrier he built to keep me out crumbles to dust. He'll witness me slipping away, clinging desperately to a version of myself that no longer exists. And I'll relish every moment of his suffering. Will I find it within myself to forgive him when he comes crawling back, begging for mercy? Or am I indulging too much in this thirst for revenge?

Pulse of Forever In the vibrant chaos of Lagos-Summaiya is drowning in expectation. Medical school demands everything: her mind, her time, her soul. But nothing drains her more than the presence of one man. Professor Muktar Abdullahi. Young. Surgeon. Authority. Confidence. Discipline. brilliant. feared. untouchable. His words cut sharper than his scalpel. His eyes? Cold enough to freeze a room. No one dares get close. No one even tries. He's the man whose silence drowns out entire lecture halls. Whose precision in the operating room borders on brutal. Whose eyes never stray-but when they do, they linger. She hates how she feels on edge around him. Then the unthinkable happens-life pulls her into his world, not as student and professor, but something more intimate. Unspoken. Unnatural. A closeness that neither acknowledges, but both endure. In the quiet moments between them, something sharp begins to shift. A question without form, an ache without name. Is he still the same cold, unreachable professor? Or is there something under the surface-fractured, tender, hers? As secrets press in and old wounds whisper from the past, Summaiya finds herself unraveling everything she thought she knew about love, about duty, and about the man who shouldn't bother her-but somehow does. Pulse of Forever is a haunting, emotionally charged love story of restraint, redemption, and the quiet war between two hearts still learning how to beat-as one.

With a flutter of her lashes and a sultry smile, she revealed her heart's deepest desires. 'Among my many dreams, one stands out - to be your queen,' she whispered, her voice husky and persuasive. 'I long to be the one you trust implicitly, the one whose love and care know no bounds. I aspire to be your partner in every sense, making you proud to call me your wife. I want to be your irresistible obsession, your sweet addiction, your forever companion.' Her eyes sparkled with intensity as she asked, 'Let me be your queen.' But just as he seemed to falter, she pressed on, her voice laced with a hint of vulnerability, 'I'm afraid... but...' ---------- Imagine a life-shattering revelation: on the day you took your first breath, your fate was sealed in a lifelong commitment to the one person you've loathed since childhood. Your cousin, yet arch-nemesis, Nabil Muhammad Suleiman, a ruthless pilot and CEO, has made your life a never-ending battleground.

Afifah Maryam Habib Suleiman, a fiery and unyielding architect, has built a top construction company and a reputation for independence. She detests being shackled and will stop at nothing to preserve her freedom. Yet, their parents' arrangement binds them together in a union that's both inescapable and suffocating. As they embark on a journey of clashes and unexpected twists, Nabil's dominating aura and Afifah's unbridled spirit collide in a maelstrom of passion and willpower. Will their bond ignite a fiery inferno of love or a war of attrition? Join them on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, as they navigate the unbreakable bond that threatens to consume them both.
