A final year sociology student at ABU Zaria and the beloved daughter of a prominent Northern family, Amina has always known her life is not entirely her own. But she's in love with Yasir Ibrahim, a rebellious guy with a sharp tongue, dangerous habits, and a heart that beats only for her. Their love is fire passionate, toxic, addictive From their school days at Essence International to stolen weekends and whispered promises, they've lived in a world where love dares to challenge legacy Until Amina's father arranges her marriage to Khalid Aminu Bello the cold, mysterious heir to a powerful business dynasty. Khalid isn't interested in love either. He has wounds of his own. But duty demands obedience, and families like theirs don't ask they decide. What begins as a polite arrangement slowly begins to shift. In shared silences, small kindnesses, and late night confessions, Amina and Khalid find themselves entangled in something unexpected. Now, caught between a love that refuses to die and a marriage she never asked for, Amina must choose: The boy who holds her heart. Or the man who might help her rewrite her story. Set against the rich cultural tapestry of Northern Nigeria, A Marriage of Names is a sweeping tale of love, duty, and the cost of choosing yourself in a world built on expectations.

"You don't get to look like that and make me feel feelings and then just go all mysterious and noble and disappear like a sexy hitman Batman." "Sexy hitman Batman?" "I had a lot of wine." "I noticed." ●・○・●・○・● She bakes cookies. He breaks bones. Everyone in the city fears mafia boss Dominic Moretti-everyone except Tessa Bloom, the relentlessly cheerful café owner next door to his front business. She calls him "Mr. Broody," brings him muffins he never asks for, and walks into his office like it's not occupied by a man who could have someone disappeared with a phone call. Dominic doesn't have time for distractions-especially not sweet, sunshine-eyed distractions with flour on their noses. But when Tessa finds herself tangled in the underworld he's spent a lifetime controlling, protecting her becomes more than a duty. It becomes personal. And suddenly, the most dangerous man in the city starts falling for the only woman who isn't afraid of him. ●・○・●・○・● Word count: 23,178 Top Rankings: 10.14.25 - #6 in Mafia

Girls fall down on my feat. I don't respect anyone, yet everyone respect me. That's me. My name is Zainab and I am a Muslim. I wake up at 4 am to pray Thahajuth and then Fajr, which is one of the 5 mandatory prayer in Islam. I am shy and humble. Atleast I believe I am humble. I work for Stuart John, one the most rich people in the world as his personal secretary. Except for the pay, there is absolutely no reason why I think I should be working for this man, who is arrogant, stubborn, short tempered and believe the entire earth revolves around him.Yet, I need the money to support myself and the mess my family left me with.
