Book Summary: U & I Fatima, a devoted single mother to four-year-old Chloe and proud owner of a charming local bakery, finds herself drawn to the ruggedly handsome construction worker she sees every morning across the street. His name is Zac-a quiet, seemingly distant man focused on his work, unaware of the gentle glances sent his way. Or so Fatima believes. What she doesn't know is that Zac has noticed her too. A single father to five-year-old Zayden, Zac has been quietly admiring the warm, determined woman who always seems to start her day with flour-dusted hands and a smile. Fate brings them together one afternoon at the park, where their children form an instant bond-and so do they. As friendship blossoms into something deeper, Fatima and Zac navigate the challenges of single parenthood, personal fears, and the scars of past heartbreak. You and I is a heartfelt story of second chances, the quiet power of connection, and the kind of love that grows slowly but roots deeply-between two people, and the families they bring with them.

"I can't keep doing this to myself Zac, I want something more." "You knew what you were getting yourself into from the beginning Fatima."
