Urban Fiction Rom-Com novel loosely based on Zatima 🙂 I was bored and said Why not

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.

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.

Zatima having a perfect life with no drama.

Can fatima give Zac a try?
