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.

When Fardous agrees to an arranged marriage with Amir, her sister's former fiancé , she doesn't expect peace, let alone affection. What begins as a quiet act of duty quickly turns into an uneasy coexistence between two strangers bound by circumstance, pride, and unspoken pain. He's composed, reserved, and unreadable. She's gentle, stubborn, and still finding her footing in a marriage that was never meant for her. Between the silences, fleeting glances, and accidental touches, something fragile begins to form something neither of them planned for nor fully understands. But in a world where expectations are heavy and emotions are dangerous, love isn't a fairytale it's a slow unraveling. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't learning to love someone new, it's allowing yourself to be loved at all. "He said he'd respect her boundaries. She didn't realize how much that promise would cost them both." I guess you'd just have to read and see. THIS BOOK IS FOR MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY.
