LOVE BOUQUET 💐
Love Bouquet is a gentle story about love that arrives unexpectedly, one moment, one decision, one flower at a time. Zaynahra never planned to fall in love. Carefree, outspoken, and content with her quiet independence, marriage was never on her list of urgencies, until a misunderstanding turns her life in a direction she never imagined. Bound by a three-month agreement with a man she barely knows, she steps into a space between certainty and curiosity, fear and faith. Khairan is calm where she is loud, deliberate where she is impulsive. What begins as convenience slowly becomes companionship, and what feels temporary starts to take root in ways neither of them anticipated. Through family expectations, private doubts, tender gestures, and unspoken prayers. This is not a story of perfect romance. It is a story of becoming. Of trust. Of tawakkul. Of learning that love is not found all at once, but carefully placed in the heart, one flower at a time.Complete
THE HEALER'S SCAR
Two marriages. Two betrayals. One woman who has had enough. At twenty, Dr. Balaraba Adams was a rising star in her clinicals, brilliant and full of hope. At thirty-two, she is a world-class trauma surgeon who can fix a shattered heart on the operating table-but cannot mend her own. Her first husband, Faisal, was a fellow doctor whose professional jealousy turned their home into a cage. Her second, Ibrahim, traded her for the "perfect" second-wife life and stole her twins in a bitter divorce. Now, Balaraba is a warrior in a white coat, fighting "career wahala," family drama, and a desperate courtroom battle for custody. She has sworn off men forever. But Rayyan Saif has been waiting in the shadows for twelve years. He saw her as a student and lost his chance. He saw her pregnant and walked away to respect her vows. Now, he finds her broken but defiant in a courtroom-and he isn't letting go again. Rayyan doesn't just want her heart; he wants to help her burn down the world that tried to break her. But can a woman who has been failed by every man she's ever loved trust the one who has been silently loving her from afar? A long, emotional slow-burn about resilience, high-stakes medical drama, and the man who finally stayed.
