Briar Chiem has only ever had choices in her life. Her parents made sure of that, and she knows for a fact it has everything to do with her terrible, hypocritical grandfather. At least that's what her dad's bestselling book series makes him out to be anyway. And when they visit him for the summer to make amends, she sees for herself what he's really like and the choices set before her.
Idris Laxamana has some choices to make, too: get lost in The Quiet Nights series or listen to his family tell him he's a disappointment. The choice is obvious, but when he meets Briar, he's not so sure anymore. And the more they read her father's series, the more they start to realize just how closely their choices and the subsequent outcomes can parallel art.

LOVE BORN FROM OBLIGATION
After losing her father, 23-year-old Yusrah finds herself trapped in a life that no longer feels like hers - suffocated under the roof of a cruel stepmother and cornered into a marriage she never asked for. 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. Zafar Malik is still grieving - not loudly, but in the quiet, haunting ways only a broken man can. 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. She didn't ask for him. He didn't want her. But in a house full of silence, grief, and aching, something begins to grow - slowly, painfully - between a girl learning to breathe and a man trying to remember how. This isn't a love story built on butterflies. It's a story of sacrifice. Of duty. Of aching hearts and second chances. Of a woman becoming a wife in a stranger's home... ... and a man discovering that even after grief, love might still have room to bloom.Complete
