He says he loves me. He says I die tomorrow. He lied. The truth is worse. It's a fracture in time. Every message pulls him closer, and every step toward him breaks the world I know.

What if a single laugh in the sunlit markets of Kotor could change everything? Peter Anozie, a Nigerian artist with a poet's soul, wasn't looking for love - but then he saw her. Who is the veiled girl with secrets in her eyes and a storm behind her smile? Aaliyah El-Zein, a Jordanian beauty, who is bound by chains the world can't see. A scarf caught in the wind. A glance too long. A connection neither can deny. But can love bloom between two souls when the world forbids it? Aaliyah's past is a prison - sold by her father to Kamil, a powerful man who treats her like a possession. As Ramadan begins, so does her descent into Kamil's dark, gilded world. How far would you go for the one you love? Peter follows her into the unforgiving red deserts of Afghanistan, where love is not just forbidden - it's lethal. When loyalty clashes with longing, and tradition wars with truth... can love survive? Aaliyah must choose between duty and desire, between the life she knows and the freedom Peter offers. Will their love set them free - or destroy them both? In a tale of stolen moments, dangerous devotion, and aching hope, some wars are fought with hearts, not weapons. She was his rebellion. Freedom was her price. Are you ready to follow them into the fire?

She made one mistake. He found out. Now she'll do anything to hold together the life she shattered.

For ten years, Sima has lived as the Shah's sogoli - his most favored concubine - a golden bird in a golden cage. Beneath her flawless beauty lies a vengeful heart, for it was the Shah himself who slaughtered her family and forced her into his harem. Each night she shares his bed, Sima tips poison into his wine, weakening the tyrant one slow sip at a time. When Prince Farid enters her poisoned world with mischievous eyes and a heart untainted by palace schemes, Sima sees both opportunity and danger. Unlike his brothers who circle the throne like hungry wolves, Farid offers something she thought long dead - hope. But love and vengeance are treacherous dance partners, and in the shadow of Crown Prince Hormoz's growing suspicions, Sima must choose: the revenge that has kept her alive for ten years, or a chance at freedom in the arms of a prince who could destroy everything with his kindness. For in the Shah's harem, even the sweetest roses bear thorns, and the most dangerous poison often tastes like honey. - Contains mature themes, violence, and sexual content, recommended for older teen readers -
