Amina Abubakar Gamɓaki thought freedom would come the day she walked away from her abusive marriage. Instead, she's faced with a new kind of battle, single motherhood, the threat of losing her children, and the weight of scars no one else can see. Love is the last thing she's searching for; safety is all she wants. Salis Bugaje has built an empire from silence and discipline. Since losing his wife, he's locked his emotions away, convinced that marriage can only ever be duty, not love. But when family pressure forces his hand, he agrees to a marriage of convenience with Amina... only to discover she is the doctor he holds responsible for his wife's death. What begins as an arrangement quickly turns into a collision of secrets, grief, and unexpected sparks. Caught between mistrust and the fragile hope of healing, Amina and Salis must decide: will they keep running from the past, or dare to rebuild a future, together?
