Whispers of Najma

Najma never wanted an arranged marriage. Fresh out of university with dreams of becoming a fashion designer, she wanted freedom-not a husband chosen for her.

But her world changes when she is paired with Zaid Maitama, a calm, wealthy businessman preparing to return to Canada. To everyone else, he is the perfect match. To Najma, he is a stranger standing in the way of her future.

Determined to escape the marriage, she tries to push him away at every turn. But Zaid is patient, respectful... and dangerously hard to hate. Slowly, what begins as resistance turns into comfort, then confusion, and something she refuses to name.

Just as Najma starts to believe maybe this forced marriage can work, she discovers the truth-

Zaid's heart never truly left his past.

The woman he once loved is still part of his life... and his choices.

Now Najma is caught between a marriage built on expectation, a husband torn between two worlds, and a love she never planned to feel.

Because sometimes, the hardest part of being chosen... is not knowing if you are the only one.
