QAID-E-DIL

For twenty years, the Balochs and Qureshis have been enemies bound by blood, betrayal, and unfinished wars. When an unexpected marriage proposal forces their worlds to collide, Inaya Qureshi finds herself tied to the one man she was raised to hate-Uzair Baloch. But some stories begin long before two people meet, and some hearts remember what minds have long forgotten.

A tale of loyalty, secrets, family, and a love that waited in silence for fifteen years.

"How long, Uzair?"

"Long enough to forget what my life looked like before you."

"And if I had never chosen you?"

"Then I would've spent the rest of my life protecting a woman who was never mine... because loving you was never a choice, Inaya. It was simply the longest thing I've ever done."
