Some marriages are written by love, others by destiny. But the hardest ones are written by choice. Layla thought her life in the quiet corners of Kano was settled. But when an unexpected proposal connects her to Zain Aliyu a powerful, distant man living in London who refuses to even come home to Nigeria she is pulled into a royal Arewa union bound by duty and secrets.

Ameerah never planned to get married . She planned to dance,embarrass her sister during the speeches, and leave before the cake cutting. Instead, she's standing at the altar in her sister's place because the actual bride bolted a day before "I do." Her new husband? Muhammad Ayzan kumo Rich, annoyingly calm, and the human equivalent of "whatever." He didn't want her as a wife. He doesn't have feelings on her nor her sister Aisha. And he definitely didn't sign up for Ameerah's nonstop sarcasm and chaos. Ameerah kabir? She's not stressing. She's nonchalant, funny, and way too playful for her own good. If he wants to act like marriage is a business contract, she'll make it the most entertaining contract he's ever signed. Too bad neither of them counted on the slow burn, the banter, or the fact that "I don't care" becomes a lie real fast when you're married to the one person who actually sees through you. It's supposed to be fake. So why does it feel so real?
