Love Undefeated
*Book #2 of Love Undeserved. Will contain spoilers!** Maya Farooqi has seen more than her fair share of pain. Despite being the youngest of five sisters, she has been forced to grow up too quickly. Her focus in life is now solely her career, and the care of her mother. Daniyal Hakim is just as dedicated to his career. Being a criminal lawyer, he is faced with the worst scum. Facing hardships and through his career, he holds a pretty pessimistic view of life. Would a marriage that's not quite love, not quite arranged, help them see the brighter, more positive side of life? After all, it must be remembered that after every hardship, comes ease.
His Crimson Shadow
In the grand shadows of Khakwani Haveli, beauty blooms where love is forbidden. Born with a smile that could melt stone and a spirit too soft for the iron chains of tradition, Noorain Khakwani has always known her place - hidden beneath the weight of expectation, unseen in a world that only values power. But when whispers of an unseen savior begin to stir behind the carved walls of her ancestral haveli, her carefully drawn boundaries begin to blur. A daughter unloved. A brother adored. A secret that could unravel everything. Set against the haunting beauty of Bahawalpur's faded royalty, His Crimson Shadow is a tale of fragile hearts caught in the crossfire of power and silence. With slow-burn tension, searing emotions, and secrets buried in the dust of legacies, this is not just a love story - it's a story of awakening, defiance, and the battle between duty and desire. Sometimes, the most dangerous thing a girl can do... is dream.

Where Love Settles
Hasna and Aarhan have been married for four years. It wasn't love at first sight-it wasn't even love at all. An arranged marriage turned into a comfortable routine, with their two-year-old daughter Afrah filling their home with laughter. Aarhan Baig is everything Hasna expected him to be: calm, reserved, a man of few words but steady actions. He's a CEO in the world outside, but at home, he's just "Baba"-the man who gives bear hugs that swallow their daughter whole. Possessive, protective, quietly affectionate... he is hers in ways he never says out loud. Hasna, graceful and quiet to the world, hides a playful heart only Afrah ever sees. To everyone else, she is composed. To her husband, she is his niqabi wife-beautiful, the epitome of grace, and his alone. They are comfortable. They are content. But beneath that comfort lies the question they've both avoided-what does it mean to truly love each other? This is not a story of falling in love at first sight. It's the story of falling in love slowly... after the "happily ever after."Complete
