East Meets West.
"He's not the character she created - but he looks just like him. Talks like him. And hurts unlike him."
As a child, Amira created a character-mysterious, brilliant, and dangerously charming.
Iskander is a gifted screenwriter with ink-covered hands, a narcissist with a boyish cruelty and a magnetic pull. He knows how to captivate with words, how to charm with silence, and how to destroy without lifting a finger.
Amira, a rebellious girl with wide, searching eyes, dreams of becoming a director. She believes in Allah, in love, and in light overcoming darkness. But can she resist the man who feels like her own invention come to life?
This is a story about what happens when you meet the shadow you've drawn in your mind. About how love can feel like addiction, and genius like a curse. And about the choice we all face: burn or run.

They both despise each other, but the chemistry between them is undeniable. When she inadvertently takes something precious from him, Davian's revenge forces them into closer proximity, and the emotions they harbor grow even more intense.

TAQDEER-when hope ends, destiny begins
It is a story about two totally opposites of life getting collided and then being tied in a thread of contract marriage. Ishaan, a man who hides his fears, his vulnerable past with a stoic expression on his face. His reasons had only made him distant from everyone. He doesn't talk much, he does not involve himself anywhere. He is just here living his life minding his own business and absolutely having no plans to be stuck with a girl he doesn't even know. But can he deny his TAQDEER? Noor, a woman whose name itself screams her personality. Her mere existence in a room is enough to light it up with her glow, her spark of including people around her. Making others happy heals something in her. She also has a similar kind of past as Ishaan but her way of dealing with it is different. Instead of hiding her fears behind the mask of rudeness she chose to hide it behind her smile. She is there smiling but no one gets to know what scars are being hidden behind it. Read to know about them. Happy Reading. (This book is unedited) *Any of the pictures used in the book are not mine and they belong truthfully to their owner.*
