We thought forcing ourselves to forget and a few state lines could make us regret what we were. We lied, called it life and just let it run its course. But death doesn't care about boundaries and the heart will always yearn for exactly what it wants.

Fatima's first day at a new high school introduces her to Zac, a kind-hearted young man still grieving the loss of his mother. What starts as teenage romance quickly becomes something much bigger when an unexpected pregnancy changes the course of their lives. As they navigate love, parenthood, heartbreak, and the challenges of growing up, Zac and Fatima discover that building a future together takes more than love-it takes faith, resilience, sacrifice, and the courage to keep choosing each other. *Becoming Us* is a heartfelt coming-of-age love story about first love, unexpected turns and two young people growing into the family they never imagined.

A love worth building.

Every choice demands a sacrifice. When Detective Zachary Taylor's investigation collides with Fatima Wilson's dangerous past, a ruthless criminal empire force two strangers into the same deadly war. In a world where loyalty is bought with blood, they'll soon discover that love may be the greatest sacrifice of all.

Fatima thinks just because she moved on from the past it shouldn't matter.! The hurt she caused people in her younger days are coming for her ass. Especially since she's sleeping with the very man she cause harm to Zac to be pacific. But Zac doesn't know that he's sleeping with the enemy, the one who made him start all the way over and leave Atlanta for almost five years. How would he handle getting played or did he get played.? Never in a relationship just good sex between the two so could Zac be mad when he has a whole other life in DC which Fatima knows nothing about. Could the past cost them both harm.? How would they move forward or is the pain to great too.?

love at first sight.. that type of love is the love Fatima and Zac share when they meet. Fatima hasn't dated anyone since her ex Ian, the father of her child, Amoriana. Enjoy this short story.

Fatima Wilson has spent her life rebuilding from the ashes - from foster care to law school, from heartbreak to healing. On the surface, she's strong and steady, but her past still lingers in quiet corners she refuses to face. When she agrees to fill in for a Chain Breakers session inside a local jail, she doesn't expect to meet Zachary "Zac" Taylor - a man whose silence speaks louder than words and whose eyes mirror a pain she knows all too well. What begins as an unexpected connection behind prison walls turns into a bond neither of them can deny. As their lives intertwine, Fatima and Zac must choose between the safety of who they've been and the risk of who they could become - together.
