For years, Zachary Lewis Taylor has been stuck in Terminal One-not an airport, but the space between his past and future, between heartbreak and the possibility of love. He's spent too long waiting, afraid to board the next chapter of his life.
Then he meets Fatima Latrice Wilson, a woman who knows all too well what it means to be caught between arrivals and departures. With her own wounds and unspoken regrets, Fatima becomes an unexpected companion in Zac's limbo. Together, they navigate the turbulence of love, loss, and second chances.
But love is a departure gate-you either take the leap or stay behind. And as Zac and Fatima stand at the crossroads of their own hearts, they must decide whether to keep waiting or finally take flight.
A poignant and heartfelt love story, Terminal One is about the moments that keep us grounded, the fears that hold us back, and the courage it takes to finally move forward.

The Exception.
Fatima Wilson is a high-powered CEO with a voice-activated penthouse, a spotless reputation, and an even icier wall around her heart. She built her empire brick by brick-and there's no room for distractions. Not love. Not vulnerability. Not anyone who dares to scratch beneath her surface. Zachary Taylor is a successful entrepreneur, devoted father to a two-year-old son, and too charming for his own good. When business puts him face-to-face with Atlanta's most infamous "ice queen," he's intrigued, then drawn in, and eventually-completely captivated. They're bound by business. But tension simmers in every stolen glance, every off-the-clock encounter, and every moment where the line between professional and personal starts to blur. She doesn't do emotions. He doesn't back down. And neither of them expected this. Between late-night texts, elevator malfunctions, quiet aquarium dates, and smoky confessions, Fatima and Zac are forced to confront the truth: some connections can't be ignored... even if they're inconvenient, intense, and feel like everything you swore you'd never need. But love? Love isn't supposed to be the exception. Unless it is.Complete
