"I wasn't just born unwanted. I was born wrong." Pulled from her third year of medical school and dropped into the home of Nigeria's most powerful family, Amani Danbatta becomes the unwilling bride in a marriage designed to fix a scandal.
But Amani isn't ordinary. She's a product of a sin so deep, her existence alone haunts everyone who remembers.
Now forced to marry a man who hides secrets darker than his eyes, Amani must survive in a house where loyalty is a mask, and love might be the deadliest lie of all.
Because in this world, blood is never just blood-and some truths were meant to stay buried.

𝓐𝓼𝓶𝓪 𝓜𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓭 is the model daughter of Abdulrahman and Alma Murad. She's elegant, composed and carefully shaped to meet her parent's expectations. Every decision - her career, her friends, even her fiancé has been curated to preserve the perfect image. Asma lives to please and has never failed to do so. 𝓐𝓶𝓲𝓻 𝓜𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓭 is the exact opposite - reckless, inconsistent and a constant headache to the family. Scandals seem to follow him, and his charm rarely covers the mess he leaves behind. To Asma, he embodies everything she was trained not to be. When the family announces their engagement, she feels sentenced and he feels trapped. Their first reaction is denial; there's no way they could ever fit together. Yet the more they clash, the more they expose the cracks in each other's carefully guarded masks. Is this the story of two people destined to break one another, or of enemies triggering a love neither saw coming?
