She's the woman he can't outsmart. He's the man she can't ignore. Rivalry was the game-love was the accident.

Michelle thought she buried Corey - and everything messy, magnetic, and infuriating about them - years ago. But working together again drags all that old tension right back to the surface like it never left. The only problem? Corey has no idea her son is his. And when the truth finally hits him, things get complicated fast.

She's a storm in a hijab. He's a fortress of ice. And the battlefield. Fatimah Azeem works twice as hard for half the credit. As a fiery, relentless cultural events producer in Los Angeles, she's used to managing chaos - but not the kind that walks in wearing a tailored suit and ruins her perfectly imperfect plans. Yousef El-Amin is order. Logic. Control. And emotions? Strictly off the table. As one of L.A.'s most renowned architects, he doesn't have time for unpredictable, chaotic forces like Fatimah - no matter how distractingly brilliant she is. When their careers collide on the biggest project of the year, they have no choice but to collaborate. But as their walls begin to crack, a forbidden chemistry rises between them... one that neither of them is prepared to handle. Between Chaos and Control is a slow-burn Muslim romance filled with enemies-to-lovers tension, stolen glances, quiet longing, and two people caught between duty, desire, and faith.

She builds dreams. She calculates risks. But neither of them were ready for each other. Lingling Zhao is a 35-year-old structural engineer-sharp, stoic, and openly lesbian in a male-dominated world. She's known for being cold, calculated, and brutally precise. She doesn't do small talk, and she definitely doesn't do distractions. Enter Orm van Vliet, a 29-year-old rising star architect with big ideas, a bigger ego, and a stubborn belief that she's straight. She's bold, creative, and never backs down from a challenge-not even one as infuriating and irresistible as Lingling Zhao. Assigned as co-leads on the biggest eco-architecture project in the Netherlands, what begins as a professional rivalry quickly spirals into something more obsessive. Late nights become lingering glances. Arguments become foreplay. And Orm's certainty about who she is starts to crack under the weight of everything Lingling awakens in her. Love. Hate. Desire. Fear. Some structures are meant to collapse-so better ones can rise.
