Zarah is twenty, but her body is a battlefield. She's a master of the brave smile the one she wears so the people she loves don't have to see her breaking. After a lifetime of fighting Sickle Cell, the arrival of Leukemia feels like a final, cruel betrayal. She has spent her youth tracing the patterns on cold hospital sheets, enduring the unendurable, while her fading pulse threatens to quiet for good. Dr. Zayn knows exactly what it means to hold a life in his hands. A single father who prides himself on his clinical composure, Zayn is used to the sterile distance of the ward. But the girl in Room 402 undoes him. He doesn't just see a diagnosis; he sees a fierce, remarkable spirit he is desperate to anchor to this world. Between the hum of monitors and his own daughter's whispered bedtime stories, Zayn finds himself falling for a woman whose every breath is a victory. In the quietest corners of the hospital, something unexpected blooms. It's a love built on gentle jokes, whispered confessions, and hands held tight against the approaching dark. But medicine has its limits, and as surgeries fail and hope grows thin, Zayn is forced to face the ultimate question: How do you save someone who has already accepted the end? Zayn and Zarah is a raw, emotional journey through the wreckage of illness toward a light neither of them saw coming. It's a story of courage, the strength of a father's heart, and a love that refuses to let go, even when the monitors scream.

Book three in the Dantata Series. Hauwa Sufyan had it all planned out: get her sister married to the love of her life, slay with the dresses she spent more than she ever had on, and have fun with the guests present. The last thing she expected even after joking with her best friend about finding a man to settle with was for fate to come knocking. Instead of coming with one man, it brought two. On one end is Mahmud Muhammad, an introverted neurosurgeon who never pays much attention to anything outside his career and his family until Hauwa comes along. On the other end is Mas'ood Dantata, an extroverted certified chef with a blooming career, a soft spot for family and a surprising dislike for anything chocolate. Forever can only be spent with one person and when faced with two men who are perfect in their own ways, Hauwa learns that fate can be cruel and that picking one over the other is easier said than done. [P.S: Not all love stories are fluffy from start to finish. This is one of them.]

Najma never planned to be at that art exhibition. She only went because Maryam practically dragged her there. And honestly? She regretted it the moment a certain grumpy stranger snapped at her and ruined her mood for the entire day. She didn't even ask for his name. She just wanted to go home. But somehow... the universe wasn't done with them. They kept running into each other - in places neither of them expected, at moments that felt too strange to call coincidence. And slowly, all that irritation turned into something softer. Something real. Before she knew it, she was saying yes to the man who once spoiled her day. Their home was warm. Peaceful. The kind of happiness people pray for. Until the day everything shattered. One message. One video. One betrayal she was never prepared to face. Najma walked away. Ayaan broke quietly. Maryam drowned in a truth no one wanted to hear. And somewhere in the shadows, someone else was pulling the strings... someone neither of them suspected. Now Najma is about to learn that not every story is what it looks like - and not every villain shows their face. Read to see how everything unravels, and how the truth finds its way back... no matter how long it takes.

Zulaiha Abdallah is a final-year medical student at Nile University, Abuja, living with a past the world refuses to let go. She once loved the wrong man-an abusive relationship kept hidden from everyone. One night, while trying to protect herself, he died. The court ruled it self-defence, but society passed its own judgement. Cleared by law, yet condemned by people, Zulaiha is forced to live with labels such as "A woman who lost her virginity before marriage" whispers, and the stigma of not fitting into society's idea of a "pure" woman. During a visit home for Eid in Kano, her life takes another turn when she is pushed into an arranged marriage meant to settle debts and repair damaged reputations-not to bring love or healing. Her soon-to-be husband, Umar Al Muqtadir, is a respected and successful man with a past as dark as hers. Years ago, an affair led to a child he never got to raise, his lover commited sucide, and a promise he made to never forget her and to find his child. Two broken souls. One forced marriage. Secrets buried deep. As the truth about the past begins to surface- What happens when Umar finds out his child was killed by his girlfriend- about death, guilt, and a child lost "Who was this girlfriend?" -Zulaiha must face the question that has followed her all her life: Is this marriage her punishment... or her only chance at survival?

Copyright © 2024. All Rights Reserved. In the world of feelings, they say the heart is a bit unpredictable, fluttering unexpectedly and swaying in moments when the mind can't keep up. Sa'adatu likes sticking to her routine, finding comfort in the usual. Change isn't her thing; she's happy with the way things are. But suddenly, a surprising shift comes knocking-a tough task that seems impossible to win. In this whimsical tale, Adnan Bayero shows up as a spark of hope, but Sa'adatu is unsure. After living in an illusion for too long, the reality she sees now is not what she imagined. Life, akin to the heart's capricious dance, unfolds with surprises. The avoidance of the unexpected might just be the resonating crescendo, orchestrating the whimsical ballet of the heart. By Ferdeausee_
