Fatima Wilson doesn't do distractions. At 25, she's built a life on control, success, and never letting anyone get close enough to shake her focus. She's sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and impossible to read-unless you know her well enough to see the softness she hides behind the attitude. Zachary Taylor is the exact opposite of everything she tries to avoid. Confident, effortlessly charming, and used to getting exactly what he wants, Zac has never met a woman he couldn't win over-until her. Fatima doesn't fall for the smile, the status, or the reputation. She doesn't even make it easy for him to stay in the same room without arguing. And somehow... that only makes him want her more. What starts as a chance meeting in a crowded club turns into something neither of them can escape when business forces them back into each other's world. Every interaction becomes a battle of wills-sharp words, stolen glances, and tension that refuses to stay buried. She calls him Zachary when she's annoyed. He calls her Angel like it belongs to her. She says she can't stand him. He says she'll get used to him. But beneath the arguments and eye rolls, something dangerous begins to form-something neither of them planned for, and neither of them knows how to stop. Because the real problem isn't that they don't like each other. It's that they do.

"You want me to gamble my heart on a spin?" he asked, a dry little laugh slipping under his breath. "No," she murmured, sliding off the stool and stepping closer to him. "I want you to stop pretending love could ever survive in a place you have to lie to keep it."

Finding love when you least expect it.

Enjoy 🤗

While getting over heartbreak Fatima starts a new Journey in Atlanta and Zac starts a new career! Will they fall in love? Will it be hard work or heart work?

Sometimes you have to lose what was never meant to stay to find the love that adds everything you were missing.

In a world where trust is fragile and alliances shift like sand, they'll have to decide how far they're willing to go to protect their family...and if love alone is enough to hold them together.
