BOUND SERIES #1 Amina Ammar has always prioritized freedom over convention. With her father's ultimatum to provide a husband by the end of the year or marry his choice pressing down on her, she was adamant on her views of marriage, a trap and a societal contract she'd rather not sign. Desperation can twist logic, a calculated marriage to a virtual stranger might be her best chance at escaping the gilded cage that would be her fate. Aayan Muhammad Junaid's view of love couldn't be more different from his father's romantic ideal. He has dedicated his life to building his career. Now on the cusp of getting all he has worked for, an unforeseen condition makes him do the one thing he has always stood against, taking a wife. And like everything in his life, he would make sure it was on his terms. No love, no expectations. Just a practical arrangement. But the heart, as they'll learn, plays by no rules.

On the day she got to know about him, Ayra Leilani Abdulaziz realised she wanted nothing more from the world than to be Ibrahim Fahad's wife. Years later, her dreams are coming true and she's in the one place she'd dreamt of all along: right by his side with his surname as hers. Unlike the sunshine and rainbows she'd imagined, Ayra's forced to learn that being Mrs Fahad is nothing like her fantasies as the picture perfect position is nothing but an illusion, concealing ugly cracks in seemingly perfect portraits, intelligently crafted lies, deceitful masks, and betrayals that come in the worst of ways. Once all is unveiled and up in flames, and there's no way to turn back, what then happens when everything becomes too little and too late...?

The first time they met, Ayman Hakeem Bellow knew there was more to the woman named Ayra Leilani Abdulaziz but there were boundaries he knew better than to cross. While he knew they would see each other more often with his cousin courting her best friend, the last thing Ayman expected was for them to meet under different conditions; as employer and employee in a brand he's built from scratch with his cousin, Aneesa. Following her divorce from Ibrahim Fahad, all Ayra Leilani Abdulaziz wants is to find herself and get her life back on track for her sake and for the sake of those she loves just so they no longer have a reason to worriedly fuss over her. The last thing she expects is for her boss to turn out to be Ayman Hakeem Bello; the same man who'd left an impression when she visited the UK, and the very cousin of the man her best friend is courting. Their friendship is a natural occurrence with how interwoven their lives become and they tell themselves that's all it'll ever be. After all, they've both taken shots at love and they both ended up with broken hearts. However, love sometimes blooms when and where you least expect it to, and Ayman and Ayra are about to learn that sometimes, falling in love again is better done late than never...

Book three in the Dantata Series. Hauwa Sufyan had it all planned out: get her sister married to the love of her life, slay with the dresses she spent more than she ever had on, and have fun with the guests present. The last thing she expected even after joking with her best friend about finding a man to settle with was for fate to come knocking. Instead of coming with one man, it brought two. On one end is Mahmud Muhammad, an introverted neurosurgeon who never pays much attention to anything outside his career and his family until Hauwa comes along. On the other end is Mas'ood Dantata, an extroverted certified chef with a blooming career, a soft spot for family and a surprising dislike for anything chocolate. Forever can only be spent with one person and when faced with two men who are perfect in their own ways, Hauwa learns that fate can be cruel and that picking one over the other is easier said than done. [P.S: Not all love stories are fluffy from start to finish. This is one of them.]
