Leila Azad never planned to get married - at least not like this. But when her family arranges a match she can't accept, an old friend of hers steps in with an unexpected offer. What begins as a solution quickly grows more complicated as shared routines, quiet moments, and buried feelings blur the lines between convenience and something more.
Set between Manchester and the coast, Between Never and Forever is a slow-burn story about love that builds in the spaces between fear and freedom, tradition and choice.
