"Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale," said the books she lived on. Kaureen Mahmoud, is a nerd who encompasses a plethora of surprises within herself; left unveiled and unaddressed as per the ritual. An avid believer of love and a greater preacher of pragmatism, what will happen when this fantasizer rams into the reality of love, lust, expectations and pain. When monumental sins become way too appealing, what will be the breath that will save her from drowning?
P.S. This is not your standard love story where bad boy falls for a pious girl and regains deep seated conscience; or two perfect Muslims fall in love and get married after battling with insecurities, adversaries and drama. I've delved into something different and it would be the greatest honor if you find it worth your time.

A Love In Trust
What if love is waiting for you-just beyond the reach of time? Amira has always been in search of something more, though faith has never quite been her anchor. When she meets Khalid in a fleeting moment of serendipity, her world shifts, and for the first time, her heart is ignited by something as powerful as it is pure. In that moment, she realizes this connection is more than a chance encounter-it is a call to become more than she ever thought possible. Khalid, too, feels the spark. But instead of giving in to desire, he makes an unexpected proposal: they will leave their love in Allah's hands. If their paths are meant to intertwine, they will meet again in five years' time, stronger in faith and ready for the life they both dream of. They exchange only names and nationalities and part ways, each setting out on a journey of faith, purpose, and self-discovery. In the years that follow, Amira and Khalid face life's tests and blessings, each holding onto the quiet hope that their love may be waiting for them on the other side of their spiritual journey. With every prayer, every challenge, and every small victory, they grow closer to Allah-and, perhaps, closer to the future they have placed in His trust. A Love in Trust is a poignant story of patience, faith, and the kind of love that only strengthens with time. In a world that values immediacy, Amira and Khalid's journey is a testament to the beauty of waiting-and the power of surrendering to a higher plan.

Fix me (COMPLETED) #Wattys2016
Highest ranking, #1 in spiritual ( 10/7/2016 ) until ( 5/ 9/ 2016 ). How can you fix something that's already been broken, several times? I am damaged, used and repulsive... I am nothing, just simply unfixable. Or at least that's what people told me. I've kept to myself for a long time now until I met someone who is just as unfixable as me. I am Layla and this is my story. * Layla Joseph and Adam Hayek cross paths at the most unexpected time. They make a deal, they decide to get married for their own selfish reasons. Put two strangers in one house and see what happens... one of them is a first class bipolar asshole who has no faith left, while the other one is a sweet, fragile girl with baggage in the form of a little angel, who happens to be strengthening her faith. Both are broken... unfixable they say and both have a past that haunts them. A marriage of convenience is what they had in mind... But will there be more or will they let their pasts get in the middle and drive them away from each other, leaving them yet again unfixable? ******* Romance/Spiritual Warning! This book will most probably contain mature language at some point. This book is not meant to be preaching about islam, rather its a book about characters who happen to be muslims struggling with their faith and life. It's a FICTIONAL book, my imagination did the work for me. Anything else could be a coincidence. I DONT OWN ANY OF THE PHOTOS USED IN THIS BOOK. I'm not a perfect Muslimah and this book isn't a perfect Islamic book either. Please have an open mind when you read this book. Thank you.Complete
