Two top neurosurgeons.
One hospital that can never know the truth.
Dr. Zain Shahbaz Khan is brilliant, unflinching, and infamously grumpy. At Al-Shifa Hospital he's the unshakeable attending everyone respects-and fears. He doesn't bend, doesn't crack, and never lets anyone in. Except her.
Dr. Maha Ibrahim Khan is a PGY-3 neurosurgery resident with a razor-sharp mind and a storm of self-doubt she can't silence. She's brilliant but always pushing to prove she's enough-even if it means challenging the one man who knows her best.
Their marriage is no secret at home. Their families know. Their families celebrate it. But at Al-Shifa? One whisper could set off rumors, jealous rivals, and career-ending politics they can't risk.
They've learned to save lives under pressure, to hold beating hearts and fragile skulls steady in their hands. But can they keep their own secret safe?
He must learn to lower his walls and show the love he guards too well.
She must see that his "tough love" is love-and always has been.
Because in the end, the hardest operation isn't on the brain. It's on the heart.

Almost Professional
Serii Joshi never backs down. Reyansh Shah never bends the rules. She's the bold young doctor chasing her dream. He's the ruthless professor who built the trauma unit from the ashes. Working together is dangerous. Wanting each other is worse. Serii Joshi 25. Fresh out of her NEET-PG exam and waiting for the acceptance letter that could change her life - a trauma surgery residency at her dream hospital. She's sharp, intelligent, beautiful, and fearless. Feminine yet messy, stubborn yet soft in ways she rarely shows. At 5'4", she may look unassuming, but Serii Joshi refuses to be underestimated. Reyansh Shah 35. Professor of Trauma Surgery and Head of the Department. The man who rebuilt the hospital's trauma unit from the ruins and turned it into one of the best. Cold, disciplined, and brutally strict with his department - because lives depend on it. But beneath the controlled exterior is a man far more complex than anyone realizes. ~ He pulls her flush against his chest and lifts her onto his desk. "You're playing with fire, little one." She smiles slowly, feigning innocence "I'm being professional professor.... Almost, hmm?"~ Ps- long slow burn :) Disclaimer: I have tried to write this as medically accurate as possible, but there might be some mistakes. Also, this is my first time writing, so please be patient with me.

Their families, deeply rooted in tradition, decide that they should marry-something neither of them wants. Forced into a Nikkah they never asked for, Aisha struggles to accept Zayan as her husband, believing he is nothing more than an arrogant flirt. On the other hand, Zayan, who secretly admired Aisha for years, finds himself heartbroken by her coldness. As misunderstandings, hidden emotions, and societal expectations test their relationship, will Aisha realize that love sometimes blooms in unexpected places? And will Zayan prove to her that he's more than just a childhood rival-he's her soulmate? [Translation available]Complete
