🏆 Winner of first place Ummah Awards For best short story. 🏆 Year End Mini Awards first Place Best Islamic Fiction. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• In a quiet, reflective moment, a soul reaches out to God not with anger, but with quiet confusion and a longing heart. Through fragmented thoughts and raw honesty, the narrator questions why God seems to care for others but not for them. As memories of pain, loneliness, and a desperate desire to be seen surface, the story gently explores faith, abandonment, and the aching beauty of wanting to be chosen too.

Ever find yourself so buried in work and life's chaos that you accidentally neglect someone incredibly important? That's exactly where we find the woman in this story. She's completely swamped-her house is a disaster, her husband is cold and distant, and she's chained to her desk, looking miserable. She's so lost in the "busyness" that she's forgotten how to live. Everything changes when she stumbles upon an old red journal. It was a gift from her best friend years ago, and reading the poems and memories inside is like a jolt to her heart. A secret message on the final page, which she'd never seen before, makes her realise just how much she's let a precious connection fade away...

{Book one of the Century Series} He was an orphan with no familial strings, carelessly living one day at a time, having no faith or hope in humanity. She was a police officer, the only living relative of Colonel Asher Smith, a highly revered man in the military. He first fell for her bravery, then her beauty. He fell for her spirit, soul and body. She first fell for his courage, then she fell for his heart. She fell for his entire being. Silver Crane fell in love with Aurora Smith.....and she fell harder. She calmed the beast in him, and he filled up her emptiness. Their worlds collide and they create a balance, bringing into existence a family of their own; the great Silver descendants. For her, he wanted to be a better man, a man worthy of her. For him, she wanted to be a home; a place where he could always find peace, love and happiness. They fought for love in a world shaped by violence, betrayal and buried secrets. From dark alleys to classified missions, from silent longing to fiery devotion, they gave birth to legacies. Not from perfection, but from pain and love. Perhaps, they dreamed too wide, or maybe they just didn't dream enough. The question is........ Where did it all go wrong? The legacy of the Silvers had only just begun.....

Jane, a seemingly cold-hearted prison guard, dedicated her life to working in a maximum security facility, sacrificing everything to live among the world's most violent criminals as a way to evade her life outside those walls. Her world changes with the arrival of a new inmate.

Andrea always dreamed of becoming a bestselling author, but life had other plans. Instead of signing a book deal, she ends up in a mysterious, out-of-place bookstore that isn't on any map. Before she can make sense of it, poof-she's swept into her favorite fairy tale: Beauty and the Beast. The twist? She's not the heroine, and she definitely isn't Belle. Now, with no script to follow and no idea how she got there, Andrea must figure out how to navigate a world of magic, curses, and a very grumpy Beast. She's trapped in the story, but she's not sure how much of it she can-or should-change. If she gets it wrong, she could destroy everything. No pressure, right? With enchanted objects, hidden secrets, and more than a little chaos, Andrea is about to learn that even the smallest misstep in a fairy tale could lead to the biggest disaster.
