Description: Camellia longs for more than what is possible for her at home. As a child born in the United Arab Emirates, her future is clearly defined, even if her dreams are not. With her family's blessing and her uncle as her companion, she is able to study abroad in Australia to pursue her education. She is certainly not looking for love on the auspicious day she sees Saif, a man who is full of contradictions. Utterly enigmatic, yet begging to be deciphered, he confounds the young student. Flustered, she runs away before they can even exchange a word. She will not allow a brief fascination to derail her plans or her promise to her parents to live as a virtuous woman and superior student while abroad. But fate clearly has other plans for her. Camellia knows that to pursue her interest in this mesmerizing man, she risks sacrificing more than just her heart. In her society, a relationship with a stranger to whom she is not formally engaged endangers her reputation. Despite the risks, the pull she feels toward Saif is utterly irresistible. Now she must decide between what is expected of her and what she truly desires. In her exploration of love, hope, and friendship, Camellia's journey becomes a mind-blowing experience, one that will change her forever. Can she find a way to honor her promises, her culture, and her heart?
