FLAWS
NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK! This story follows the lives of two prestigious Northern families-one that earned its place, and one that can't afford to lose it. Salma Babajo-skillfully veiled, conflicted, and fiercely proud-has always idolized her father. But he lives by one rule: if you burn the midnight oil to secure something, you hold onto it by hook or by crook. Salma wears her last name like a badge, oblivious to the cracks beneath; until the secrets start to surface. Kabir Yabo is everything Salma is not-reserved, steady, and willing to bend to societal expectations. He tiptoes through life, careful not to step out of line. They have nothing in common... except for a fate neither of them sees coming. But what happens when the perfect son collides with the girl who plays by her own rules? And when what's expected threatens to overpower what's real? Will they fight to protect the illusion they were raised to uphold-or risk everything for a love that was never part of the plan?Complete
My beloved
Mareena never planned on falling for a man like Khalil - a man carved from danger, desire, and trouble. He wasn't the type you loved... he was the type you survived. But the moment their eyes met, something reckless sparked between them. Something forbidden. Something neither of them could control. Khalil was fire - unpredictable, consuming, impossible to forget. Mareena was the one woman he should've stayed away from... yet the only one he couldn't let go. Their connection wasn't gentle. It was intense, messy, addictive the kind of love that tasted like sin and felt like drowning in something you'd die to feel again. Every touch pulled them deeper. Every secret threatened to break them. And every moment together pushed them closer to a line they were never meant to cross. In a world where desire is dangerous and love comes with consequences, Mareena and Khalil must choose between giving in to the pull that's destroying them... or walking away from the only person who ever truly saw them. A story of passion, obsession, betrayal and a love too wild to be holy.
UNFURLING HATE.
There is a thin line between love and hate. A delicate balance, a twist of fate. A tender glance, a fiery gaze. A gentle touch, a heated shove. Yet in the balance we are known to reside, where love and hate collide in our hearts. So as we walk the line and we embrace the fire, with the love that soothes and the hate that tires.. along the line, we realize that something so strong, can only ever be compared to something even stronger. Such is the case for Khayrah Ammal and Muhammad Adnaan. Where in the pursuit of disdain, lines get crossed and what we thought was so clearly hate, turns out to be something softer, something with a promise. Though, with all love stories, there can never be a promise of a happily ever after. Something so close might sometimes be farther than we think.

Dear Paris,
neither of them were supposed to fall. but one accidental encounter was all it took to crack the calm, and marked out the world khalid had built for himself. zainab was meant to be a fleeting distraction; loud where he was quiet, reckless where he was deliberate, a walking contradiction to every rule his precise-and-tradition-bound-life obeyed. the thing about fire? once it kisses your skin, control becomes nothing but smoke.
