Will they work it out?

sometimes love doesn't come when you expect it - it comes right on time.

Fatima Wilson has spent her life rebuilding from the ashes - from foster care to law school, from heartbreak to healing. On the surface, she's strong and steady, but her past still lingers in quiet corners she refuses to face. When she agrees to fill in for a Chain Breakers session inside a local jail, she doesn't expect to meet Zachary "Zac" Taylor - a man whose silence speaks louder than words and whose eyes mirror a pain she knows all too well. What begins as an unexpected connection behind prison walls turns into a bond neither of them can deny. As their lives intertwine, Fatima and Zac must choose between the safety of who they've been and the risk of who they could become - together.

She's supposed to keep him out of prison. He's determined to keep her in his orbit. And somewhere between courtrooms and gunshots, Fatima has to decide which will ruin her first: the case... or the man.

Fatima Wilson, a driven investment banker in Manhattan, meticulously orchestrates her life with an unwavering focus on her career. Balancing her demanding job with a relationship with Dr. Marcus Scott, a committed general surgeon, proves challenging as their hectic schedules often collide. One fateful evening, while waiting for Marcus at an upscale restaurant, Fatima's plans falter when he fails to arrive. Instead, she crosses paths with Zac Taylor, a charismatic restaurateur whose charm and intriguing stories offer her a refreshing escape from her routine. This chance meeting sparks a series of events that compel Fatima to reevaluate her priorities, leading her on a journey that challenges her professional ambitions and opens her heart to unexpected possibilities.
