The Longing Club (TLC) #1: Malang

Book 1

Malang describes a person who is so wildly, freely, and deeply in love that they lose all care for the world and surrender completely to their partner.

He has power, influence, and everything a man could possibly want.

Except her.

Zaina Saqib is a brilliant surgeon who has spent years building a life of her own-a life shaped by discipline, sacrifice, and choices she refuses to regret. And she knows exactly what loving him would cost her.

So she rejects him.

Once. Twice. Every time he comes back to her.

Jihan Aziz is a man accustomed to getting what he wants. He could make her stay. He could use his power to fight every obstacle standing between them.

But he doesn't.

Because he doesn't want a woman who stayed because she had no choice.

He wants her to choose him.

So he waits.

Through every rejection. Every distance. Every reason she gives him to walk away.

And for the first time in his life, he discovers that wanting someone is easy.

Waiting for them to choose you is the hardest thing of all.
