Habibti- (Arabic)- Darling. Arya Malik always felt suffocated around her controlling mother and incompetent father. Sure they were not 'that' narrow minded for a brown family, but, you get the gist right? So at the age of eighteen she left her family and her timid old self behind, only wanting to succeed in her life, her studies and her career, nothing else mattered, not love, not partying, not being popular, just focus and determination. However her resolve comes crashing down when at the age of twenty-one the wedding bomb is dropped on her. She knew it was coming, but this soon? Apparently her father thinks it's time. Now she will do anything in her power, which is not much, to avoid this as much as she can, even if it means going against everything she stands for. Enter Mikael. He is intense, mysterious and mesmerizing, not to mention arrogant and a jerk. Unfortunately for Arya, he's the most flawless Arabian man she's met and she isn't THAT immune from the male syndrome. Especially when he makes her swoon as he calls her, "Habibti." Follow Arya on her journey of love, passion, possession, ambition, and everything in between. "I think I loved him more than he would ever love me."
