Fatima is in her third year of architecture school, and life has never felt better: stellar grades, loyal friends, and Jamal, a boyfriend who loves her the way rain loves soil, quietly and completely. Isah has mastered the art of restraint, putting principles above all else and never once blurring the line between professional and personal, until grief collides with proximity and a girl lands in front of his car, striking a place in his chest he thought had long since healed. The timing is wrong, the wounds are fresh, and some kinds of love ask to be chosen twice. Puddles is a story about the love that finds you, and the love you were already keeping.

For five years, twenty-three-year-old Khadija lived in a sanctuary of her own making. Far away from her father's sprawling mansion and the toxic shadow of her stepmother and stepsisters, she built a life filled with light, peace, and a thriving perfume business. She thought she had permanently escaped the golden cages of old money. But when her powerful father (or so people think) snaps his fingers and demands her return, Khadija is forced to make a devastating choice: step back into the lion's den, or watch her mother break under the family pressure. Choosing her mother, Khadija walks back through the heavy black gates of her childhood nightmare. But she isn't the quiet, compliant eighteen-year-old they remember. Armed with a cold resolve, Khadija plans to survive the hostile glares of her stepsisters and whatever calculated "plans" her stepmother has waiting for her. What she didn't plan for, however, was Hammad Aali. Hammad Aali, relentlessly charming, permanently calm, modern businessman and a man whose family is constantly pushing a parade of elite cousins and high-society women into his line of sight. From desperate socialites to Khadija's own step-sister, who will do absolutely anything to claim his name, Hammad is a prize to be won. But he has zero interest in being trapped. Untill he met Khadija. Sharp-tongued, fierce, and utterly unimpressed by his status, she is the one woman who has the audacity to ghost him. For a man used to women falling at his feet, her silence is a reckoning, a challenge he cannot seem to walk away from.

In the glittering sprawl of Abuja's elite circles, Amani is a vibrant force of curiosity and rebellion, drawn to the shadows others fear. When she crosses paths with Arfat-a brilliant, enigmatic man with a darkness he keeps carefully masked-her intrigue threatens to consume them both. Arfat is controlled, untouchable, and entirely uninterested in playing by anyone's emotional rules. But Amani isn't like the others. She isn't afraid of him-and that makes her dangerous. As their worlds collide in a dance of temptation, secrets, and unravelling control, Amani begins to see the cracks in Arfat's armour, and what lies beneath is both beautiful and terrifying. But love, when touched by darkness, is never simple. It is a plunge into the unknown. An abyss you choose. And sometimes, just sometimes, what you find at the bottom is light.

Copyrighted 2017 *Completed* *This story was written a long time and needs to undergo intense editing--working on it!* He was said to be powerful, the most powerful of them all. A king of kings- a dark king. Complete control. He needed it- thrived on it. He was power, he was dark, and he was beautiful. They say he was a descendant of the first wolves- of shapeshifters so fierce they could kill with barely a glance. He was respected, revered. Feared. The King of the North. And we were the idiots sneaking into his territory. *Not your typical werewolf book* --please reframe from hateful comments directed at me or other readers who enjoy the story. *This book has no sexually mature scenes and is PG-13* *This book has nothing to do with The Game of Thrones, and is not a fanfic of any kind*
