Sacred Trust: Truth or Tradition
Is a layered, thought-provoking tale set in contemporary Arewa society, where faith, family, and justice are not just ideals-but battlegrounds.
Nimrah Siddiqui thought she had left her past behind. Once trapped in an abusive marriage, she carries scars-some visible, many invisible-that remind her daily of everything she lost. Love was never supposed to be part of her journey again. Her only goal was survival, peace, and reclaiming herself.
Then came Umar Kangiwa. Gentle where others were harsh, steady where others wavered-yet bound to a family that has their own idea of perfection. He has never been married before, but when he looks at Nimrah, he doesn't see a "divorcee." He sees a woman of strength, resilience, and grace. He falls for her scars, not in spite of them.
But love is never that simple. Umar's family refuses to accept a woman with Nimrah's past, and the shadows of her broken marriage begin to stir again when her ex-husband returns-threatening not only her newfound happiness but her very safety.
Between a toxic past and a toxic family, Nimrah and Umar must fight for more than just love. They must fight for trust, dignity, and a future together.
A story of resilience, forbidden love, and second chances-Sacred Trust is coming this October.

Ayaat × Shahmeer ( Also can be read as a standalone novel) Top-1 in India . . . . . . . . . "Let me make this clear from the very beginning-" But she interrupted. Lifting her veil slowly, She faced him. Her tone was calm, but her soul trembled behind her words. "I don't have any expectations from this bond," she said steadily. "You've given me your name-that's enough. You'll always be my sister's husband. I'm not here to demand a place in your life. I know exactly where I stand." He watched her, caught off guard by her sudden fire yet nodded. "Good. That saves us both the trouble. And Stick to that. Because I won't tolerate promises you can't keep." He said sharply. Her scent lingered between them...a soft, familiar trace of coconut. He took a small step back, as if her presence had caught him off guard. As if it stirred something he wasn't ready to face-something unsettling, achingly familiar... and utterly forbidden. ★★★★★★★★★★★ When two broken souls, Ayaat and Shahmeer, are bound by an unwanted marriage, they treat each other as nothing more than a forbidden past.
