[CREED BROTHERS BOOK 5] Mari Castillo is a registered nurse. She ran away from home to look for her mother in America despite her father's protest. With little money in her pocket and without her wealthy father's support, she somehow ended up as a housekeeper for the youngest and very secretive son of the Creed family to keep her afloat. Working as Elian Creed's stay-in housekeeper was unexpectedly good; the salary was astonishingly better than she had hoped for. Her boss was rarely at home due to his travels abroad, and his massive penthouse was all hers most of the time. She almost felt that the house was hers, but then she accidentally discovered her employer's double life, putting her life at risk also. Now it's up to them how to trust each other when there is someone who is after them and wants them dead. And what better way to hide from their enemy than to travel to the other side of the world and go back to the Philippines, where Mari was born and raised? But there was just one problem: Mari's father is a traditional man. He couldn't simply accept a stranger into his home. So Mari and Elian must play the role of a lifetime as an engaged couple in front of her family. But just how far will this farce go when the lie and truth start to mix?

For six months, they live as strangers bound by vows neither of them wanted. Until one unexpected night breaks every rule.

Like every other Muslimah her age, Syeda Anaabiya Ahmed dreamed of a love that would heal her scars-a love that would cherish and protect her. As an orphan, she had spent her life fighting battles no child should face-struggling for survival, for a home, and, most painfully, for the love even her own younger sister denied her. Her last hope rested on marriage-the man destined to be her partner, her guide, the one who would help her grow into a better Muslimah. But that dream shattered the moment she was forced to marry Syed Humza Junaid-a man she loathed, a man as ruthless as the dark empire he ruled, a man who saw love as nothing more than a weakness. Defiant and unyielding, Anaabiya refuses to be another pawn in Humza's world of power and crime. She challenges him at every turn, determined not to bow to his arrogance and cruelty. But just when she thinks she has him figured out, the cracks in his armor begin to show-a man tormented by his demons, a man who, against all odds, might just be capable of love. As their world spirals into chaos, hatred begins to blur into something far more dangerous. Love. Obsession. Destruction. Will Anaabiya tame the monster within him, or will she lose herself in the fire that is Syed Humza Junaid? Join Anaabiya on a journey where love and ruin walk hand in hand-where the heart's deepest desires clash with fate's cruelest twists.
