Light Through the Walls

"This marriage is to fulfill my responsibility to my mother. Nothing more."

Sofia didn't interrupt. She just watched him.

"You will not lack anything," Malik continued, voice calm, controlled. "But I don't do emotional conversations. I prefer my space."

A pause.

Then, quieter

"Do not expect love from me."

When Sofia Bello returns to Nigeria to reconnect with her roots and take on a life-changing architecture contract, the last thing she expects is an arranged marriage to a man who has already decided she will never have his heart.

Lieutenant Colonel Malik Danjuma is disciplined, distant, and completely closed off until the woman he married out of duty begins to slip past every rule he set.

Because Sofia is not the kind of woman who stays at a distance.

And Malik is not prepared for what happens when the one person he tries to keep out... becomes the only one he can't stay away from.

A modern Arewa romance about duty, healing, family, and the kind of love that quietly breaks through even the strongest walls.
