At fifteen, Noor Ghazi's world shattered-violence, silence, and scars she could never outrun.
She never felt attracted to anyone after that until the night she was kidnapped.
Her captor? Azlan Zaarim. Mafia consigliere. Too old. Ruthless. Silent.
...
This is the second book of Ishq in Ruins, First book is Wedded by War: Nafrat, Although this book is a standalone if you want to dive in it head-first. But if you want better experience and get snippets of Azlan and Noor, to get the whole story in check, Read the book one, first.
Dedication:
For the girls who laugh too loudly to hide the cracks in their hearts. For the girls who've survived the dark and still choose to shine. May you find your Azlan, A man of shadows who would burn the world just to protect your light.
Azlan Ali Zaarim

Azlan didn't need words to command a room—his silence was louder than any threat. Broad-shouldered, sharp grey-eyed, and wrapped in shadows that seemed to cling to him, he was the kind of man people crossed the street to avoid. A hunter in every sense, patient and merciless, with blood on his hands and secrets carved into his bones. To the world, he was a monster. To Noor, he was the storm she shouldn't have wanted but couldn't look away from.

Noor was chaos wrapped in sunlight—too loud, too curious, too stubborn for her own good. She laughed easily, tripped often, and carried storms in her chest that she disguised with smiles. The world had tried to break her once, left scars she hid behind baggy hoodies and warmth, and still burned bright like a candle in a dark room, refusing to go out. Where Azlan was silence, she was chatter, where he was shadow, she was light. And yet, her light always seemed to bend toward his darkness.
