A Zatima story based on one of my favorite books 🥳

For seven years, Officers Fatima Wilson and Zachary Taylor have been inseparable. Partners on the force and best friends off the clock. They've weathered each other's heartbreaks, shared countless late-night stakeouts, and built a bond stronger than any backup call. But when Zac suddenly becomes overprotective, Fatima is left confused and frustrated by his shift in behavior. After Zac is injured in the line of duty, Fatima is unexpectedly pulled into a high-stakes undercover operation. With her life on the line, Zac refuses to sit idly by, throwing himself into her case despite orders to rest. His constant interference drives Fatima crazy until she realizes that the line between friendship and something deeper has been blurring for a long time. As their undercover personas pull them deeper into a dangerous world, the feelings they've buried for years start to surface. Now, with their lives and hearts on the line, Fatima and Zac must face the truth: the greatest risk they've ever taken might be falling for each other.

Zachary Taylor is a Navy veteran married to Shelley, a traveling and well-renowned hairstylist. All Zac ever wanted was what his parents have but can't seem to find it in his current spouse. Fatima Wilson is a 1st grade teacher, who is married to Marco, a consistent unemployed abuser who wants nothing more than to keep her isolated for his own sick and twisted pleasure. Zac meets Fatima by chance and develops a relationship through a series of traumatic events. In doing so, they quickly discover that even if it's "written on the wall" they should be together. They have to find peace within themselves and heal from their past trauma, in order for them to have the relationship that they TRULY desire. Will Zac and Fatima be able to heal in order to find true love and happiness or will they forever be....CONTAGIOUS.

Celine Washington is a strong independent black woman who doesn't take shit from anybody. She makes her own money working at a prestigious law firm, hard-working, self-assured, and in full control of her life. She trained herself to be that way with all that life has thrown at her. Chris Anthony is the Wide Receiver of the New York Giants. He is known as one of the best at his position, just recently coming off the high of winning a Super Bowl. As cocky, self-centered, and occasionally immature he was, women flocked to him like flies and he was perfectly fine with it. The media dubbing him as a ladies man and trouble maker. He wasn't looking to settle down and he definitely didn't want kids. His lifestyle did not permit it and neither was he ready for it. Celine, on the other hand, has recently began to crave for those things after seeing her younger sister, Nadia, get engaged and have a kid of her own. After turning down Chris' advances on multiple occasions, Celine finally agrees on an offer to spend one night with him. After that she'd hope to never see him again. That is until Celine and Chris find themselves in quite the predicament. 🥀 Mature Audiences Only ----------------------------------- {Until I Found You Spin-Off} I'd strongly recommend you read Until I Found You first to get a better grasp of this story, but you don't have to. ------------------------------------ © 2018 Summerdreamin / N.A.

Random Updates!! Janine Teagues just wants to teach her kids, drink her oat milk, and survive another day at Abbott. Unfortunately, Ava Coleman-the principal with a God complex and a ring light-is committed to making that impossible. Ava swears Janine is her work nemesis. Janine's not even sure what she did. But between the loudspeaker drags, hallway side-eyes, and suspiciously personal insults, she's starting to think Ava might be... obsessed? Still, things get complicated when zipping up a costume starts feeling intimate, when the step team can't function without them both, and when Ava starts catching feelings she'd rather burn than name. Enemies? Maybe. Coworkers? Barely. A slow descent into gay panic and emotional repression? Absolutely. (I wanted to write an Avanine Abbott Elementary fic cause it's so rare on here 😭) (Also, it includes some canon based scenes)

Sometimes you have to lose to find the one who truly adds to your life. Book one of a two-part Zatima series 🤍

In the city that never sleeps, two strangers are about to gamble everything on love. Fatima Ann Wilson, a celebrated Harlem interior designer, has built a life filled with beauty-except in her own love story. After years of heartbreak, she's ready to try something bold: Heart Harmony, the elite matchmaking service where you don't meet your soulmate until you're standing at the altar. Zachary Luther Taylor, a star football player from Brooklyn, is done with fame-fueled relationships and the tabloid lies that come with them. On a whim, he signs up for Heart Harmony, hoping they'll find someone who sees the man beneath the headlines. When Fatima and Zac's worlds collide at the end of the aisle, sparks fly, but marriage to a stranger is only the beginning. Between clashing worlds, meddling exes, family drama, and the glare of the spotlight, they'll have to decide if fate really knows best... or if love is something you choose every day. Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, laugh-out-loud banter, and heartfelt drama, Heart Harmony is a rom-com with a New York edge and a love story worth the leap. Inspired the Arranged Heart series on KU iykyk
