Mara Ibrahim has spent her whole life learning how to be careful enough not to give anyone in her all white school a reason to question her faith, her family, or the hijab she wears. Until Theodore Creed changes that. Theodore is the school's golden rebel - he is charming, reckless, and everything Mara has been taught to avoid. What begins with stolen glances becomes a love neither of them knows how to stop. With her family demanding she marry a man she barely knows, an Mara is forced to choose between the life expected of her and the one she secretly wants.

"Do you ever stop talking?" "Only when you look at me like that." Afiyah Ahmed didn't come to university looking for anything but direction. A new apartment. A new program. A city that didn't know her name. She came to focus-on her faith, her studies, and maybe learning how to belong somewhere. She wasn't expecting to find a kind of quiet rhythm with the two girls she just met. And she definitely wasn't expecting Zayd Khan. Her roommate's older brother. A second-year with quiet confidence and knuckles that say more than he does. Afiyah plans to ignore the boy who grins like he's got nothing to prove. She planned for textbooks, not butterflies. But Zayd makes her wonder what else she didn't plan for. #TMHIE
