PREVIEW!!! Book Description Zarah has never known a day without pain. As a sickle cell warrior growing up in a home where her illness was dismissed as laziness and her father refused to believe in hospitals, survival was her only goal. Her only dream? To see her younger sister, Marwa, become a doctor, because Zarah herself never had a chance at education, never had a chance at a future, never had a chance at love. Until Falmata. A kind woman who saw beyond Zarah's fragile frame and took her in, giving her a home, a purpose, and eventually... a doctor. Zayn is everything Zarah isn't- wealthy, respected, and the owner of the very hospital where she finds herself fighting for her life. But he's also something she never expected: a man who fell in love with her soul long before he ever touched her skin. "I've seen a lot of beautiful things, Zarah. But nothing beats the way your eyes light up when you see me." But love isn't simple. Not when the odds are stacked against them, her health is failing, leukemia lurks in the shadows of her sickle cell, and a family secret is about to unravel everything she thought she knew about herself. Can a fragile heart, when loved correctly, really survive? Can a man who has everything truly love a woman who has nothing? And can two souls from different worlds build a forever when the clock is ticking? In a world where love was never meant to find her, Zayn proved that some loves aren't just stories, they're a lifetime offer.
