Marrying a Man she never met was never in her plans. But for her Mom she will do anything.

Fatima Wilson is a high-powered CEO with a voice-activated penthouse, a spotless reputation, and an even icier wall around her heart. She built her empire brick by brick-and there's no room for distractions. Not love. Not vulnerability. Not anyone who dares to scratch beneath her surface. Zachary Taylor is a successful entrepreneur, devoted father to a two-year-old son, and too charming for his own good. When business puts him face-to-face with Atlanta's most infamous "ice queen," he's intrigued, then drawn in, and eventually-completely captivated. They're bound by business. But tension simmers in every stolen glance, every off-the-clock encounter, and every moment where the line between professional and personal starts to blur. She doesn't do emotions. He doesn't back down. And neither of them expected this. Between late-night texts, elevator malfunctions, quiet aquarium dates, and smoky confessions, Fatima and Zac are forced to confront the truth: some connections can't be ignored... even if they're inconvenient, intense, and feel like everything you swore you'd never need. But love? Love isn't supposed to be the exception. Unless it is.

Zac thought a romantic trip with his girlfriend Karen would be just what they needed. But he didn't know she had another plan-one that involved collecting on his life insurance policy. When the plan goes wrong and Zac disappears into the wilderness, presumed dead, Karen returns home to spin the story of a tragic accident. But Zac isn't dead. He's found-battered, bruised, and without a memory-by Fatima, a fiercely independent woman who stumbles across him during her morning run on a quiet trail near her home. With no ID, no family coming forward, and no one in the state recognizing him, Fatima makes a bold decision: he'll stay with her until he remembers who he is. As days turn into weeks, a quiet love begins to grow between them. But when Zac's past comes crashing back, they'll both be forced to face the truth: Was what they had real, or just borrowed time?

Everything took a turn but will it get back to the beginning
