Between the Heartbeat

Fatima Hayat Hashim has spent years building a future she refuses to compromise on. Calm, ambitious, and fiercely independent, she knows exactly where she is headed. As she works toward becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon, love is nowhere on her list.

Muhammad Ayman Al-Hussein lives above the clouds. A successful pilot and businessman with a confident exterior and a complicated past, he has never been the kind of man who allows anyone to disrupt his carefully controlled life. He's built his life around discipline, confidence, and knowing exactly where he's going.

Two guarded hearts. One unavoidable collision.

What begins with an unexpected encounter turns into something neither of them can ignore. The arguments become teasing. The irritation becomes fascination. The closer they try to push each other away, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them.

But love doesn't always come at the right time. With demanding careers, ambition, buried secrets, and a threat from the past, Fatima and Muhammad must learn that some connections can't be escaped-no matter how high you fly or how carefully you guard your heart.

Because sometimes, the heart knows long before you do. And sometimes love is found in the quiet space between the heartbeats.
