She refuses to be controlled.
He refuses to lose.
When a high-stakes deal forces them into each other's orbit, rivalry sparks instantly. He is calculated, powerful, and accustomed to setting the rules. She is defiant, sharp, and unwilling to play by anyone else's terms.
What begins as a battle of wills slowly turns into something far more dangerous. Every encounter is charged. Every glance is a challenge. Desire simmers beneath pride, and temptation grows strongest where control is tested.
But power always comes with a price, and wanting each other may be the most dangerous risk of all.
Terms and Temptation is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance steeped in tension, rivalry, and seduction, where every choice carries a price, and every temptation demands something in return.
P.S; this book has two main leads. First and second.

Before you go
"Listen to me Qurratul Ayn, before you go, I want to know; did I ever offend you? Is my love for you too little?" I can feel his hand hovering over mine. He wants to hold it, but he knows better than to do that. "Please, I don't want to do this now. My flight is in thirty minutes." I can feel the tears wetting my Niqab. "No! I want to know. Where did I go wrong? Was it money? I didn't feed you well? I didn't clothe you? My love wasn't enough for you? I need to know, all those years! You're seriously willing to throw them away like they were nothing?" A sob breaks out but I manage to hide it behind a cough. I take a silent deep breath and turn, my Niqab swaying and making a whip sound. "It's not like, they really were nothing! Look, I don't have it in me to explain myself. You said you'd give me whatever I want? Then leave me be. I never loved you okay! I never did, it was all a sham, a facade!" His hand that was looming over mine falls limp beside him and he staggers back. "You're lying." He laughs. It's as if he's trying to convince himself. I scoff. "You think so? Well take a look at this." His eyes fill with tears and he takes one of his hands and place it on his mouth. He can't believe that it's actually true. "Okay, Fa'iza." My heart breaks. He never calls me that, ever. "I know something is wrong, and wallahi I'm going to find it out and bring you back to my house in six months. I promise." I feel my heart squeeze knowing his promise can never come to pass, ever. Death is nearing me so nothing can be done. Absolutely nothing. * Ten years of loving, doting over each other and marriage, Fa'iza upped and suddenly said she wanted out of the marriage.

Basma likes Fendi
If you like books about players then this is just perfect for you. Two manipulative people in a world of lies and deception. Who'll play the other when both are players? BTW this isn't a sequel. I don't know what to call it. A spin-off maybe. I think it's more of a spin off though, because it centers on just Basma, Bashir, Bilal and his wife but again, it has a few other characters from Aaliyah to the World.
