MachLogic
Muawwiz Camellia doesn't believe in accidents. A daughter of Sarawak and the Philippines, she has built her life on a foundation of cold, hard logic. As a top-tier analyst, she can solve any equation, except the one involving Rafiq Ar Bello.
Rafiq is the storm she never saw coming. Half-Italian fire and half-Arab steel, he is a man who lives for the clouds and the free-roaming predators on his private island. When a family betrayal forces them into a "Strategic Marriage," Muawwiz prepares for a business arrangement. She expects contracts, boardrooms, and boundaries.
She doesn't expect the way Rafiq looks at her when they are 50,000 feet in the air. She doesn't expect the tenderness of a man who keeps a gorilla named Gundulo as a guardian but holds her as if she's the most fragile thing in the world.
From the searing heat of the Dubai dunes to the shimmering Northern Lights of Sweden, Muawwiz and Rafiq must navigate a flight path riddled with sabotage and secrets. To save their legacy, they must break every rule they've ever lived by.
Because in the end, the most important variable isn't the speed of the jet or the strength of the company. It's the realization that some hearts aren't meant to be organized-they're meant to be free.
