"In the space between two hearts, the Divine writes the most beautiful love stories."
✨ A Contemporary Islamic Romance ✨
Rachel Elaine is a restless soul wandering through the spiritual landscape of New York City, her childhood Christianity feeling both too small and too vast for the questions burning in her heart. In the hushed sanctuary of the public library, surrounded by mystics and philosophers, she's searching for a truth she can't name - a love that won't disappoint, a faith that won't diminish her.
Yusuf Kazmi carries his own quiet longing. A Pakistani-American graduate student caught between worlds, he's learned to navigate the mosque and the university, tradition and modernity, but his prayers feel like echoes and his heart yearns for something, someone, who will understand the depth of his seeking.
When a tower of books tumbles between them, it's not just an accident - it's qadar, divine destiny unfolding.
What begins as intellectual curiosity blossoms into something far more profound: a love that challenges everything they thought they knew about faith, identity, and the courage required to follow the heart toward its true home. As Rachel finds herself drawn not just to Yusuf but to Islam itself, they must navigate the beautiful complexity of interfaith attraction, family expectations, and the Islamic boundaries that protect their growing love.

"And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your hearts." - Qur'an 30:21
