After her father refuses to send her abroad for her master's degree, Izzah devises a plan to escape Khiyamabad and pursue her dream in a different country. As part of her plan, she gets into a relationship with Hamzah Qazi, the son of her father's rival. Unexpectedly, Hamzah and Izzah turned out to have a lot more in common than expected. They also discovered that they both shared the same ambition in life, and that they both hated politics and wanted to escape their fathers' influence. Soon, Hamzah started meaning more to Izzah than just a plan. The more Izzah spends time with Hamzah getting to know him, the less she sees him as a pawn in her plan and more as a partner. Hamzah surprises her, changing his significance in her eyes. While her relationship with Hamzah continues to bloom under her father's nose, Aadi Masood-nephew of Kamran Masood and cousin of Izzah Masood-makes an appearance in her life, threatening to sabotage her plans.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

Profile: Ash Cartwright (Self evaluation.) College student with a steady job as barista at the Busy Bean. Isolated but that's due to her lack of want to create any lasting relationships. Does this come from her broken past? Yes it does and she's fully aware of this. Profile: Zach, last name still unknown. (Evaluation by Ash.) A seemingly average student, who fits in with everyone but doesn't connect with anyone. Able to appear without making a stir and leave the same way. Average in looks and height. There is nothing about him that should merit Ash's attention. Questions for consideration: If he is so average, why does Ash find him interesting? Why can't she make sense of him? Most importantly, why did she ever decide to get involved? *************** Trigger warning: parental abuse mentioned but not described.

[Soon by WATTPAD BOOKS] In the prestigious race of stars, Sozo must hide the truth of who she is or pay with her life, but her blossoming relationship with the most talented competitor threatens everything she's worked for. ***** Every ten years, the lucky chosen bond with stars and race to win a wish. Any wish. Sozo is one of the lucky chosen, but she has a secret: as an Omen -- cursed beings that can transform into monsters -- she's forbidden from competing. Discovery would mean her death. Can she hope to keep her identity a secret, let alone win the race, especially as the talented and sunny Naqi enters the picture? When Sozo is given an ultimatum, she has to choose: betray her Omen people, or betray the people who are slowly, surely, becoming like a family to her. --- WATTYS AWARD 2020 "Bar none, this was [Senior Editorial Specialist] Amanda's absolute favourite read from the Wattys this year. It makes you cry, just from pure, uncontainable joy, and the ending kept us reading until nearly 6am. Everything about this story is beautiful. We were astounded that anyone could create something so magnificent and moving and magical. This level of storytelling mastery will never not blow us away." [Word Count: 70,500]
