Mahsood Khan always knew that his bride would be selected by his parents and had long been engaged to a suitable girl. When the family's business interests require Mahsood to marry an American citizen instead, he is in no position to refuse.
So starts the union between a man and a woman as different as East and West, peppered by shared attraction as much as by mutual prejudices. Will Jane and Mahsood find happiness together or is divorce inevitable for this mismatched couple?

With no job, no support, and no escape, her only way out becomes an arranged marriage to a man she's never met... a man whose silence is louder than any vow.

A father first, a CEO second, and a widower always, Zafar has locked his past behind a door no one enters. But when his parents choose Yusrah as a bride for him - a soft-spoken girl with no voice in the matter - he's forced to confront the life he's buried, the daughter he's struggling to raise, and a future he's not sure he wants.
