Salma Babajo-skillfully veiled, conflicted, and fiercely proud-has always idolized her father. But he lives by one rule: if you burn the midnight oil to secure something, you hold onto it by hook or by crook.

Kabir Yabo is everything Salma is not-reserved, steady, and willing to bend to societal expectations. He tiptoes through life, careful not to step out of line. They have nothing in common... except for a fate neither of them sees coming. But what happens when the perfect son collides with the girl who plays by her own rules? And when what's expected threatens to overpower what's real? Will they fight to protect the illusion they were raised to uphold-or risk everything for a love that was never part of the plan?

Merely a weakness waiting to be exploited. Nazara Amana Mansoor has spent her entire life fighting to be seen as more than the 'half-breed' daughter with foreign eyes. Despite her wealth, beauty, and brilliance as a cardiologist, society never lets her forget that she does not truly belong. Zayd Fuad Zarumi, the future Caliph of Dauriyya, lives beneath a crown that feels more like chains than honor. Cold, calculated, and constantly underestimated, he survives palace politics by pretending to be exactly what everyone wants him to be obedient. When Nazara proposes a marriage of convenience to escape the labels suffocating her, Zayd accepts for reasons entirely his own, power, alliances, and access to the influence of her wealthy father. No love. No attachment. No complications Just a contract between two people trying to survive a nation slowly tearing itself apart. But somewhere between royal expectations, whispered betrayals, political conspiracies, dangerous festivals, and a growing war between North and South Mawtari... the rules begin to blur. And when feelings start growing where resentment once lived, both Nazara and Zayd are forced to ask themselves one terrifying question. What happens when the person meant to be your greatest advantage... becomes your greatest weakness?
