When New York contractor Zac Taylor finally takes a break to celebrate the launch of his construction company, a guys' cruise to the Bahamas seems like the perfect reset-no deadlines, no stress, no strings. Atlanta attorney Fatima Wilson is on the same ship, toasting her hard-won bar exam victory with her girls and vowing to keep her heart off-limits. One late-night club, one unforgettable dance, and two sparks that burn hotter than the ocean sun-and then they part without exchanging numbers. A year later, fate spins the block. Zac relocates to Atlanta to expand his business and runs straight into the woman he couldn't forget. Fatima is thriving in the courtroom but still searching for a peace she's never had in love. Their chemistry is instant, but real life is louder than rooftop vibes: ex-situationships resurface, family expectations close in, and career ambitions threaten to pull them in opposite directions. Can two people who have mastered survival learn to trust a love that feels like home-slow, steady, and undeniably real? Cruising to Love is a slow-burn, grown-folk romance about building foundations that last, choosing peace over chaos, and discovering that sometimes the softest love hits the hardest.

Zac & Fatima Fell In Love At First Sight.

Janet often finds herself immersed in enchanting yet disconcerting dreamscapes, where the air is filled with the scent of damp earth and wildflowers. One moment, she wanders through mist-shrouded forests, illuminated by silvery beams of light; the next, she's lost in shadowy city streets, alive with distant laughter and the hum of jazz. The constant in these vivid dreams is the sultry, velvety voice of a mysterious woman, wrapping around Janet like a silk scarf. Though the woman remains hidden, her alluring presence sparks a deep curiosity and longing, compelling Janet to uncover the identity of this captivating enigma.

Love may shift but it never disappears.

A year after their painful breakup, Zac and Fatima find themselves reunited on a breathtaking island for their mutual friends' wedding. Having promised to never cross paths again, they agree to keep things civil for the sake of the celebration. But as old feelings resurface under the island's dreamy sunsets and warm breezes, the spark between them proves hard to ignore. With love in the air, Zac and Fatima must decide if this unexpected reunion is their second chance - or just a beautiful reminder of what they lost.

Inspired by Laugh to Keep from Crying, but with my own twist on it.

A forbidden love, that once explored will cause chaos in both individuals lives. Such destruction that if exploded will it ever settle? Will forgiveness be given? Will understanding be received? Will apologies be delivered? But most importantly, will that forbidden love make it through the abyss?

Enjoy🤗
