"Next time don't roam the school grounds without a proper covering for your hair." Some girls cross oceans for adventure. Rashida Fintiri crossed one for a boy. Leaving behind the polished halls of her Swiss boarding school, Rashida Fintiri arrives in Abuja with one thing on her mind. Alim.

She traded Switzerland for this, for him, certain that proximity would finally tip the scales in her favour. It does not. Alim only has eyes for Tahira, the soft-spoken, effortlessly beautiful girl every boy in school seems to notice and every girl cannot help but resent. For Rashida, the sight of it is unbearable. Humiliating. And when Rashida hurts, she does not cry quietly in corners. She strikes. Tahira becomes her target. A campaign of cold shoulders, cutting words and calculated cruelty that Rashida tells herself is deserved. That she tells herself is nothing. But nothing has a way of becoming everything. Because someone is watching.

And in a school where everyone is performing for someone, Rashida is about to find out what it means to be truly seen by someone who sees far too much.

Murad Al-Abbas is a man carved from duty and stone. As a high-ranking royal, he is as powerful as he is breathtakingly handsome-a man whose presence commands absolute silence and whose temper is as cold as the desert night. He has no room for sentiment, only the heavy crown of his lineage and the secrets that keep his empire standing. Inaya Ibrahim is a vision of grace from a modest home, her life defined by the rhythmic scrub of laundry in a dusty courtyard and the stinging whispers of a family that barely sees her. She is a girl of middle-class dreams and quiet resilience, hoping only for a life of peace far away from her sister's cruelty.

Some know her as Aisha the troublemaker, the girl whose laughter dances a little too freely, the light that seems to chase shadows from every room she enters. But he sees something different... a side the world will never notice, a quiet storm behind her smile, a fire that burns just for him. To him, she is no one else, no mask, no pretense she is only one thing: his Ayla -Book Two of The Shettima Series- Out Now ✨

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.

"I mean... you should address me as Yaya Yusuf. It shows respect in our Hausa tradition." She blinked, then nodded slowly. "Okayyy. Yaya Yusuf. Where are we going?" I smiled a little. "We're going to a boutique. Or would you prefer we go to a café? It's your call." She thought for a moment, looking out the window again. Then she said, "I'd like to go to the biggest library in Kaduna...Kashim Ibrahim Library." I glanced at her, surprised. "A library? Seriously, Aisha? You want us to go to a libra..." "Yaya Aisha." she said cutting me off. Now it was my turn to look confused. She smiled...small, but mischievous. "I mean... you should address me as Yaya Aisha. Respect is reciprocal, you know."
