Love Not Required - Paperback

Safiyyah's dream of launching her bioengineering career as a biracial Muslim woman is finally within reach, but her parents' move to London threatens to derail her plans. Determined to stay, she proposes a marriage of convenience to Aayan, her childhood friend and now a medical resident immersed in the demands of his career. Aayan, with his own work obstacles and past crush rekindling, agrees. After all, it's just a practical arrangement...Right?

But as they navigate their new reality, lines begin to blur. What started as a straightforward plan becomes a messy, emotional journey. With personal and professional pressures mounting, Safiyyah and Aayan must confront their deepest fears: is it safer to cling to self-reliance, or is love worth the risk?

In this heartfelt Muslim romance, two friends must decide whether to protect their hearts or take a leap of faith for a love that could change everything.
