Asiya never expected to return home from Dubai only to be thrust into an arranged marriage with a man she's never met. But when her father shows her a picture of Sameer, calm, collected, and unreadable, she knows her life is about to change. Sameer, still haunted by the love he lost, never wanted to remarry. Yet, duty binds him to Asiya, a woman who carries her own burdens and unspoken wounds. Their marriage begins with quiet distance, but beneath the surface lies a slow-burning connection neither of them can ignore. A story of fate, heartache, and unexpected love, Married to Malice will pull you into a world where emotions run deep, and nothing is as simple as it seems.

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...
