Something Like Gravity

She wasn't looking for him. He wasn't looking for anyone.
Demitra Kalogeras has her life exactly where she wants it - good job, close family, an apartment she actually likes coming home to. The last thing she needs is a man who notices too much, talks too little, and somehow keeps showing up in her neighborhood.
Ziad Romano is Egyptian-Italian, quietly Muslim, and an engineer who fixes things for a living - including, eventually, the walls she didn't know she was still building. He's calm in a way that should be boring but isn't. He's patient in a way that should feel passive but doesn't. And he has a little brother back in Cairo who is about to change both of their lives.
This is not a perfect love story. They fight. They misread each other. He goes silent when he should speak. She pushes when she should wait. There are hard nights and harder goodbyes and at least one phone call that breaks everything open.
But here's what's also true: he never once walks away when it matters. He shows up for her family like they're already his. And when the world gets heavy - and it does get heavy - he doesn't ask her to carry it alone.
Enemies to lovers. Slow burn. A Muslim male lead who never asks her to change. A Greek-Canadian girl who doesn't. Edmonton winters, Cairo summers, and everything in between.
