The Marriage We Never Wanted

Alia Hassan never imagined that the man she would be forced to marry would be the same man she once humiliated in front of the entire royal court.

Zaid Kareem is the Crown Prince of Zaraya cold, proud, and impossible to read. Years ago, Alia slapped him across the face after witnessing him lose his temper with a servant. He never forgot it.

So when an old royal promise forces Alia into marriage with Zaid, he sees the perfect opportunity for revenge.

But Alia has a secret of her own.

Trapped in a marriage neither of them wanted, Alia and Zaid become enemies beneath the same roof. They fight, hurt each other, and swear they will never fall in love.

As hatred slowly turns into care, and care turns into something neither of them expected, jealousy begins to awaken in the palace.

Amar wants Alia back.

Nadira wants her son on the throne.

And secrets buried within the royal family are about to destroy everything.

Because sometimes the person you were forced to marry becomes the person you cannot imagine living without.

A story of arranged marriage, enemies-to-lovers, forbidden feelings, royal secrets, betrayal, jealousy, and a love neither of them ever wanted.
