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.

The Taylor Addition
Sometimes you have to lose what was never meant to stay to find the love that adds everything you were missing.
Truth Is
They loved each other before they understood fear. Fatima dreamed of more. Zac just wanted to be something. When distance, insecurity, and betrayal intervened, their love ended in silence and regret. Seven years later, they meet again-changed, carrying children, loss, and lives that don't quite fit anymore. But some connections don't fade. They wait. This is a story about unfinished love, chosen family, and whether healing means letting go-or finally staying.Complete
