"Cairo Sirens: The Affair" is an historical romance novel set in a glamorous, yet conservative, post-revolution 1950's Cairo. Cairo Sirens's heroes have to navigate societal constraints and expectations, family obligations, and their own beliefs about what they deserve to give in to their intense attraction to one another.

In 1950s Cairo, Samya is expected to marry quickly. A medical school dropout with a history of depression and institutionalization, she knows love is a luxury she cannot afford.

Jacques arrives in Egypt to bury his estranged father, only to inherit a trail of secrets and responsibilities he never wanted. A lifelong playboy, he is unprepared for the weight of the past closing in on him.

When Samya enters his life, desire ignites. In a world where holding hands is akin to a marriage proposal, their attraction is forbidden, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.

To claim each other, they must risk everything: their families, their reputations, and the fragile balance keeping them free.
