Asa never planned on falling in love with someone like Amir Malik Sani. Composed, calculating, and far too certain for someone who made her question everything she thought she knew about love, faith, and herself. What started as quiet understanding slowly turned into something neither of them could walk away from. But love, as they both learn, isn't just tenderness and timing, it's choices, patience, and a war between what feels right and what is right. Between faith, family, and the fragile space where their worlds collide, Asa and Amir must learn what it really means to love without losing themselves and to trust that some stories aren't written by accident and everything happens for a reason that sometimes is not known by us. When their worlds collide, it's anything but easy. Between cultural expectations, family pressure, and religious lines that can't be crossed lightly, they're either each other's downfall-or their only shot at something real.

First, however, she must find the strength to tell Charles what happened to her... But as Emery and Charles find their way home together, someone is following their every step, even in the desolate town of Ipswich.
