After The Flames: Burning Again✨

Two years after burying her father and walking away from the marriage that broke her, twenty-six-year-old Fathia has rebuilt her life on her own terms. A successful lawyer, she spends her days fighting for justice and her nights caring for her mother and raising Hammad-her late sister Khadijah's son, the little boy who became her entire world. Living in her father's spacious duplex, Fathia has convinced herself that love is a chapter she'll never reopen.

No matter how many eligible men her mother introduces, her answer is always the same.

No.

Thirty-nine-year-old Captain Aliyu Haider Ardo has his own reasons for staying away from love. Wealthy, respected, and one of the country's most accomplished pilots, he has spent years burying himself in work after losing the woman he planned to marry in a tragic train crash. Since then, he's kept his heart locked away, believing some losses are too deep to recover from.

But one reluctant visit to his mother's cousin changes everything.

The woman who opens the door isn't soft-spoken or eager to impress. She's sharp, stubborn, fiercely protective, and completely uninterested in him.

For the first time in years, something sparks.

As two guarded hearts begin to collide, old wounds, family expectations, painful memories, and a love they never saw coming threaten to pull them apart. Can two people who have sworn off love find the courage to choose it again, or will the ghosts of their pasts keep them from the future they deserve?

Sometimes, the brightest flames are the ones born from ashes.
