Forever us : a zatima story
Fatima is the owner of a law firm and part owner of a club . Zac is a lawyer by day and exotic dancer by night. As lust rekindles and old wounds bleed into the present, Fatima's dark, possessive nature tightens its grip. But when secrets threaten to surface-ones that could shatter lives and change everything-Fatima must decide whether she's willing to risk her power, her heart... and the truth.
Sincerely, The Taylors
The fourth installment in the Taylor series will introduce new relationships, rekindle old, and even end a few on this journey with the Taylor crew.
Heart Harmony
In the city that never sleeps, two strangers are about to gamble everything on love. Fatima Ann Wilson, a celebrated Harlem interior designer, has built a life filled with beauty-except in her own love story. After years of heartbreak, she's ready to try something bold: Heart Harmony, the elite matchmaking service where you don't meet your soulmate until you're standing at the altar. Zachary Luther Taylor, a star football player from Brooklyn, is done with fame-fueled relationships and the tabloid lies that come with them. On a whim, he signs up for Heart Harmony, hoping they'll find someone who sees the man beneath the headlines. When Fatima and Zac's worlds collide at the end of the aisle, sparks fly, but marriage to a stranger is only the beginning. Between clashing worlds, meddling exes, family drama, and the glare of the spotlight, they'll have to decide if fate really knows best... or if love is something you choose every day. Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, laugh-out-loud banter, and heartfelt drama, Heart Harmony is a rom-com with a New York edge and a love story worth the leap.

Still Us
Fatima Wilson has built a life rooted in responsibility, not passion. A dedicated Nurse Practitioner, a devoted mother to her three-year-old daughter Faith, and a woman trying to hold together a relationship that's been emotionally dead for years-she's doing what she believes is right, not what feels right. Zachary Taylor has returned home a successful business owner, disciplined, focused, and carrying the weight of a relationship that no longer fits the man he's become. His life looks solid on paper-but behind closed doors, it's draining him. When a chance encounter at a mall brings them face-to-face for the first time in fifteen years, everything shifts. Because before the broken relationships... Before the responsibilities... Before the distance... There was them. Best friends. First loves that never got the chance to be. And now? Old feelings don't just come back... They linger. But timing is complicated. Healing is messy. And love the second time around? It demands honesty. STILL US is a slow-burn, emotionally layered story about rediscovering love, choosing yourself, and realizing that sometimes... the right person was never lost-just delayed.
