Just a little something to fuel our obsession with this couple xx

Tahira Mahmoud never imagined her life would unravel into a public scandal, not when she was focused on her internship and building her future. Zayyad Ibrahim, a successful architect and divorcee, has spent years protecting his heart and his family with rigid control. But when duty, whispers, and tradition corner him, he finds himself married to Tahira... a girl he has only ever seen as a sister. What begins as an unwanted obligation soon shifts into something, neither of them expected: lingering glances that last too long, teasing that feels too familiar, and a protective tenderness that refuses to be ignored. Tahira begins to realize that love, in all its quiet beauty, can bloom even in the places she never thought to look. And Zayyad? He's starting to discover that the one marriage he never wanted may be the one thing he can't walk away from.

She hides behind her books and she hides behind her power. Neither ready for love, until... they find it living right across the hall. Between hidden identities and stolen glances, Karishma Singh and Haseena Malik are about to discover that sometimes the greatest love stories aren't the ones we write... but the ones we live. Troops→ • Age gap • Slow burn • Old school • Opposites attract • wlw This is not a dark romance. This book has everything I have never written before🥂

Aaliya never asked for love - only peace. Ibrahim never believed love was something you could force. Bound by a marriage neither chose, they learn that sometimes love doesn't arrive loudly - it grows in silence, patience, and presence. A Pakistani family drama filled with grief, warmth, and a slow-burn romance that unfolds gently over time.

Things I read and loved. Words I came across in books, reels, and corners of the internet.

Stanley heads to the library to try to pick up girls, but leaves with a silly little romance instead.

Under the unyielding gaze of two suns that know no night, the Kingdom of Corona & Espina has buried the laws of the Creator to fuel the machinery of progress-a land where faith has become a relic and ambition the only creed. Stability, as well as moral and divine peace, hangs by a thread held by two brothers who couldn't be further from salvation: Mateo, the legitimate heir who seeks in the underworld the life his lineage denies him; and Mordred, a prince cursed from birth by a mark the world scorns, who plots an escape to unearth the lie of his origin. Meanwhile, in the shadows of the Holy Republic of Valoria, the past returns to collect its debt. A nameless boy awakens in the darkness. He possesses no memories, only visions of a hell that claims his flesh; unaware of the cost, an enigmatic mentor offers him a path. At the same time, Clemens, a young noble who once dreamed of cities and adventures, will learn the hard way that "fantastic beasts" have real fangs, and that history is written by survivors, not dreamers. Four fates condemned to collide as the veneer of civilization begins to crack. In this land of perpetual light, clarity does not guide: it blinds. And when the machinery of man fails and faith is nothing but a symbol, they will remember that blood does not dictate destiny, but it does mark the price of betrayal.

Will e Andrew si conoscevano da sempre. Vivevano a Sheffield e non c'era giorno che non passavano insieme, nemmeno quando uno dei due stava male. Avevano condiviso insieme ogni cosa: i primi passi, i primi compleanni, i primi giorni di scuola, le prime cadute dalla bicicletta, le prime cotte. Sono sempre stati inseparabili fin quando, all'età di tredici anni, Will, fu costretto a seguire i suoi genitori a Roma. Per via di questo trasferimento, perciò, i due amici finirono per allontanarsi. All'inizio c'erano si degli scambi di messaggi e chiamate occasionali, ma questo contatto è andato via via scomparendo per via dei diversi problemi di entrambi i ragazzi. All'età di diciotto anni appena compiuti, un mese prima di ricominciare le lezioni al Liceo di Roma, un incidente costringe Will a ritornare a Sheffield, dove viene accolto a braccia aperte dalla nonna e dallo zio. Da quel momento, il ragazzo inizia a frequentare l'ultimo anno del college, dove incontra Andrew. Un Andrew del tutto nuovo, con piercing e tatuaggi e una passione spropositata per il pugilato. Tutto l'opposto del ragazzo dolce e timido che era stato fino a sei anni prima. Ormai però, era inutile negarlo, non ci sarebbe più stato il rapporto di prima, anche perché Andrew iniziò a evitare Will, parlandogli solo per prenderlo in giro e fare battutine per farlo incazzare. E se invece quella di Andrew sia solo una maschera che si è sollevato dopo la partenza del suo migliore amico? Sei anni possono cancellare una vita intera?
