Love, After Everything

Zara Ali has spent her entire life surviving.

After escaping an abusive marriage that reopened wounds she'd carried since childhood, she makes one promise to herself: never again. Never again will she trust a man. Never again will she dream of marriage or children. Instead, she pours every ounce of herself into the bakery she's determined to make succeed.

Then Ehan walks in.

The frustratingly confident man who shows up so often he acts like the place belongs to him. Zara can't stand him—or the way he always seems to know exactly how to get under her skin. But when her bakery is pushed to the brink, the registered investment advisor becomes the last person she expects to rely on.

As they work side by side, something begins to change.

For the first time in years, life feels lighter. The constant weight she's carried starts to ease, her faith finds quiet room to breathe again, and the walls around her heart begin to crumble. But with every stolen glance and every almost-too-long moment together, resisting what grows between them becomes a test of its own.

Just when Zara wonders if this could be Allah's gentle way of showing her that life can hold more than pain... she discovers Ehan was once friends with the man who shattered her.

To Zara, that's all the proof she needs. People become like the company they keep.

As her family urges her to hear him out and her heart begs her to see beyond her fears, Zara must decide whether the past deserves the final word—or whether healing sometimes arrives in the most unexpected hands.

Some loves ask you to risk your heart.

This one asks Zara to believe she's worthy of it.
