Layla Alami has always known how her story is supposed to end.
A good daughter.
A good student.
A good Muslim girl who follows the path her family has planned for her.
Then she meets Theo Smith.
Quiet, awkward, and painfully easy to talk to, Theo is the kind of boy Layla should never fall for, especially when he doesn't believe in the same things she does. But somewhere between shared study sessions, lingering glances, and conversations that feel too honest, Layla finds herself wanting someone she can never truly have.
Theo doesn't try to change her.
He listens. He understands. He cares.
And that only makes it harder.
Because the deeper Layla falls, the more impossible everything becomes. Her parents already expect a future chosen for her-one built on faith, tradition, and obedience. A future that has no place for Theo Smith.
But love doesn't disappear just because it's inconvenient.
And for the first time in her life, Layla begins to wonder what happens when the heart wants something the world refuses to allow.
Some people fall in love freely.
Layla and Theo fall in love, knowing it could break them both.
