Not Now Habibi

By Zara Howard

Not Now, Habibi
When hearts clash in heat of the the desert, no one plays it cool

What's a girl to do when her dream job comes with designer heels and two dangerously charming brothers?
Not Now, Habibi is a romance dramedy set in the glittering skyline of Dubai - Think Emily in Paris but with corporate stakes higher than the Burj Khalifa, fewer baguettes and much more arabic coffee and pistachio cream kunafa.

Fresh-faced, sharp-tongued Arab-American strategist Leila Karim lands what should be her career-making role at Deira Properties, the Middle East's crown jewel of property development. But her professional triumph quickly spirals into a glorious train wreck when she becomes the unexpected vertex in a love triangle with- Rami Deira, her untouchable boss with perfect cufflinks and a god complex - and Mo Deira, his artist, activist and rebellious younger brother with paint on his hands and absolutely no respect for boundaries.
Leila finds herself caught in the crossfire of an epic family feud and an upcoming event that could change the future of the company-and her career-Leila must decide: protect the path she's built, or risk it all for a feeling she swore she could live without.

Full of bite, witty banter, and just enough bad decisions to keep readers hooked, Not Now, Habibi is perfect for fans of Love from A to Z, The Hating Game, and anyone who's ever tried to keep their personal and professional lives separate-and failed spectacularly.

A forbidden love. A glittering city. A choice that could change everything.
