She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

Synopsis. Caden Elhasiq - a Malaysian young Muslim man pursuing his studies in Washington - lives a life of calm and purpose. With Allah's permission, everything in his journey flows smoothly. Yet, just a year before graduation, his world begins to change. He is tested in ways he never imagined - through trials of faith, heart, and conviction. Na-Luna Zelene, a Korean-American girl born into wealth and privilege, has never known hardship. Her comfort has shaped her into someone proud, guarded, and distant - choosing carefully whom she lets close. But when loss strikes and takes away someone dear, the walls around her begin to crumble. When their paths unexpectedly cross, faith meets doubt, patience meets pride - and hearts begin to change. Through trials and tenderness, Caden learns that da'wah is not always through words, and Euna discovers that love guided by faith can heal even the most distant soul. A story of love, loss, and finding light in the midst of trials - where hearts are tested, and Allah's plan unfolds in the most unexpected ways.
