LIKE FIGS ON A HOT SUMMER DAY, Yusuf Khayat is slowly losing form. Watching the people around him beat up by life and ambition, he thinks it better to be uninvolved rather than hurt, better a bystander than an accomplice.

But when a career shift transforms him into a walking culture shock, he has no choice but to stand out by blending in.

OR.....

A perpetual immigrant is suddenly forced to belong.

Disclaimer ⚠️ * There are certain parts of this story that are going to be rated 18+ only. I'm very sexual myself & wanted to make sure my readers felt that in my characters when reading this story. The mature content will have a warning in the beginning of the chapter, this is EXTREMELY explicit content.* ⚠️ * There is also violence/crime in this book. If that triggers or makes you uncomfortable please don't read it, there are entirely too many chapters where that is mentioned or emphasized on.
