When your best friend becomes your husband, falling in love should be easy... right? --- Humairah Abdur-Rahman has just finished her master's degree in Medical Microbiology in New York University and can't wait to return to her family in Nigeria, excited to see what life has in store. Marriage is next on her mind, which is why she agrees to the arranged match her parents have planned. Farhan Ademola Hassan has everything he could ever want: a stable career as an architect at a prestigious firm, the Quran memorized by heart, and a quiet love for the girl he's known all his life. The only thing he doesn't have is the courage to tell her how he feels. So when he learns Humairoh is returning to Nigeria, he sees his chance; and asks for her hand before she even arrives. Humairah thought she was coming home to meet someone she might grow to like and marry, unaware that the suitor is her childhood friend; the same boy she once secretly loved before he unknowingly broke her heart by mentioning another girl. But starting married life with your best friend isn't as easy as it sounds--especially when the husband is figuring out how to be the perfect husband, and the wife is trying so hard to fall in love all over again with the man who was once just her best friend. --- Perfect for fans of Uzma Jalaluddin's Ayesha at Last, S.K. Ali's Love from Mecca to Medina, Kainat Azhar's Journey to Hidayah, and Huda Al-Marashi's Love in Hijab
