OUR DEAL Layla Idris doesn't trust men especially not men like Farooq Maccido Moddibo. When a business deal forces the cold, stubborn CEO and the arrogant Fulani businessman into each other's lives, neither of them expects the constant arguments, unwanted attraction, and feelings that follow. It was supposed to be just a deal. But some deals come with consequences neither side is prepared for.

NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK! This story follows the lives of two prestigious Northern families-one that earned its place, and one that can't afford to lose it. 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. Salma wears her last name like a badge, oblivious to the cracks beneath; until the secrets start to surface. 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?

Some love stories are not spoken... they are written. Layan is twenty-two-gentle, introspective, and quietly devoted. Raised in Jeddah, her world is shaped by faith, discipline, and the delicate beauty of expression. Through Arabic calligraphy and poetry, she pours her heart onto paper-each stroke a reflection of her soul, each word a whisper of what she cannot say aloud. Mert is twenty-seven-Turkish, composed, and deeply artistic. An architect by profession and a poet by nature, he sees the world in lines, structure, and meaning. His words are few, but when he writes, they linger-soft, profound, and impossible to forget. They meet in Jeddah, where art and language intertwine, and what begins as a shared passion slowly unfolds into something deeper. Between culture and distance, silence and expression, their connection grows-steady, unspoken, and full of meaning. Ink on paper. Verses in silence. Love written where words fall short. A story of devotion, artistry, and two souls finding each other between lines and longing.
