Yasmin never for once imagined her life would turn out this way. One moment, she was just another girl trying to navigate the expectations of a world that never seemed to ask what she wanted, and the next, she was hearing the words that sealed her fate, words she hadn't even been present to hear. The knot had been tied. Just like that. And best of all? She barely even knew the man she was now bound to. But how do you know if someone's intentions are real? How do you trust a life you didn't get to choose? And more important than that, how do you talk yourself into accepting a future that feels nothing like the one you dreamed of? Amir Abdallah is everything Yasmin Noor isn't. Confident. Persistent. The kind of man who doesn't just say things to impress but follows through with every word. The problem? He wants more than just a marriage in name. He wants her. All of her. But Yasmin Noor doesn't know if she even has that to give.

Respectfully, I Hate You. A Northern Nigerian Enemies to Lovers Romance Zulaiha Bashir has no time for nonsense. Not from her meddling siblings. Not from her emotionally unavailable classmates. And definitely not from men who think her life's purpose is to get married before 25. A final year Law student at Bayero University Kano, she's smart, sarcastic and dangerously uninterested in anything that doesn't align with her plans. Marriage? Later. Feelings? Please. Distractions? Blocked. Aslam Zakariyya doesn't do chaos. A wealthy tech entrepreneur from Abuja with a life he's so chilled about, Aslam is all logic, power and clean edges. So when a simple guest lecture in Kano turns into a battlefield of banter with one very blunt, very beautiful law student; his carefully structured life begins to unravel. She thinks he's arrogant. He thinks she talks too much. But when sparks start to fly, insults start sounding like flirtation and fate keeps pulling them into the same room, they're forced to face the truth: Sometimes, the person you can't stand might just be the person you can't stop thinking about.
