**Between Two Worlds**
Hawaa Al-Hassan never wanted to leave the life she knew.
At seventeen, moving to a wealthy neighbourhood in Surrey feels like being dropped into a world she doesn't belong in. Between a new school, unfamiliar faces, and the pressure of balancing her faith with the expectations around her, Hawaa is determined to keep her head down and focus on what matters most: family, faith, and her dream of becoming a professional tennis player.
Then she meets Eren Moretti.
Basketball captain. Neighbour. Walking headache.
With his sharp tongue, effortless confidence, and reputation for never taking anything seriously, Eren is everything Hawaa tries to avoid. Their first meeting ends in an argument, and from that moment on, they seem destined to clash.
But as the seasons pass, stolen glances become conversations, arguments become understanding, and the walls they've built around their hearts begin to crack.
Caught between cultures, expectations, and the futures others have planned for them, Hawaa and Eren must decide whether some connections are worth fighting for-even when the whole world seems determined to keep them apart.
A heartwarming slow-burn romance filled with family, friendship, faith, and the beautiful chaos of first love.
