Determined to escape a loveless match, she creates a checklist to find the perfect husband her father will approve of. Alan fails every requirement. A notorious heartthrob. Completely wrong for her. But when they're paired as duet partners in their college music group, an unexpected friendship sparks-one filled with laughter, late nights, sharing their darkest secrets, and a dangerous attraction neither can ignore. Fiza is saving herself for marriage. Alan flirts freely and lives for one-night stands, with no interest in commitment. Yet with her, he's gentle. Devoted. Different. Caught between faith, family, and a love she never planned for, Fiza must decide-will she protect her heart, or risk everything for the one person she was never meant to love?
