At eighteen, Maryam is a firecracker. She has a sharp mouth and an even sharper wit, though her family loves her for her honesty. Her life revolves around her obsession with culinary arts she doesn't just want to cook, she wants to revolutionize the food industry and own a world-class restaurant.
Maryam was a skeptic of romance until she met Alamin. She gave him her heart completely, only to have it shattered when she caught him in the arms of her best friend. That betrayal turned her heart to stone.
She made a vow: Love is a distraction I can no longer afford.
As Maryam tries to bury her pain in her recipes, her world starts to crumble. Family secrets begin to leak out financial struggles, hidden pasts, and rivalries create a storm of drama at home, making her dream of opening a restaurant feel further away than ever.
Enter Fareed, a 26-year-old architectural prodigy. As the eldest son of a powerful family, he is used to being in control. He is cold, commands every room he enters, and possesses a tongue just as sharp as Maryam's.
When their paths cross, it's instant friction. Fareed finds her stubborn....Maryam finds him arrogant. However, Fareed sees a spark in her that he can't ignore. For the second time in his life, the man who is a no-nonsense falls hard.
Together, they face many challenges on their journey.

STRAIGHTENED AFFECTION (PREVIEW)✅
The link on my bio to grab the complete book! Sabira Idris Turaki never imagined that after everything she and her husband endured, the years of struggle, pride, misunderstandings, and silent sacrifices, she would lose him just when love finally began to feel steady. It was love. But it came too late. Umar Faruq Bello's death was ruled an unfortunate encounter. A sealed report. A carefully arranged narrative crafted by those who understand that power protects power. Grief has barely settled when two men enter her life. Abubakar Sadiq Bello is the twin who was sent away as a boy for refusing to bend to Dada's authority. The son who learned early that defiance comes with exile. The brother who built himself into something formidable, strategic, and untouchable. If Faruq was warmth, Sadiq is fire. If Faruq was softness, Sadiq is the rock.

It was far from over. A marriage of convenience brings Sabira together with Sadiq. What begins as strategy slowly becomes something far more dangerous. Proximity awakens emotions neither of them expected. Their journey unfolds in stages. Attraction, attachment, trust, love, worship. A return to faith. A rediscovery of themselves.

Between vengeance and vulnerability, political silence and family loyalty, dominance and surrender, they begin to change. Together, they learn how to lead and raise their family with intention, care, and love.

Opposites Attract.
Copyright © 2024. A not-so-straightforward love story. The saying "opposites attract" is used to say that people who are very different from each other, in terms of personality or interests are often drawn to each other. The said saying describes two hearts; Khalil Ahmad Sambo and Ameera Bukar Babangida. Khalil Ahmad Sambo, a civil engineer full of optimism, an outgoing individual with a benign aura. He is the man who wears his heart on his sleeve, and his smile is the most visible part. Yet, his standards and values are unwavering when necessary. Ameera Babangida, a reserved, ambivalent, and determined young adult with a pretty normal life, surrounded by loving family and friends and working at a well-known company as an architect, her life is simple. One could say that she rarely, or never even pays attention to anything outside her career and family. Until a trip to Kaduna changed everything in her own little bubble for her. But what if that saying goes beyond the two? Started: 6|10|24 Completed:
