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.

Zac Taylor is former thug, alcoholic and felon trying to get back on his feet after breaking up with his toxic ex girlfriend Karen Mott.

Zac is ashamed of his past and thinks he is not good enough for her. But through his trials, Fatima stays by his side.

Fatima, now an advocate for foster care and criminal justice in NYC, returns to her small hometown nearly 15 years after her parents' tragic deaths, still seeking the closure that has eluded her since her early adulthood. As she revisits old memories, fragments of that fateful night begin to resurface-she was the sole witness to their murder, but at the time, she couldn't recall any details. Now, the truth slowly comes to light. Just as she and her fiancé are preparing for their upcoming wedding, her ex-high school sweetheart reappears, complicating her life further. As Fatima uncovers who killed her parents and why, she realizes the killer is someone she never would have suspected. And the motive behind it is even more shocking.
