Zac knows what it means to be broken. Love burned him once, and he swore he'd never let it happen again. Hardened by betrayal and a past he doesn't talk about, Zac keeps his heart locked away-safe, untouched.
Fatima thought she had love all figured out-until it shattered in her face. Now, she moves with caution, focused on her career, her peace, and never letting another man play her for a fool.
Neither of them are looking for love. But when their worlds collide, sparks fly and walls start to crumble. What begins as a slow connection quickly turns into something deeper-something neither of them expected.
But old wounds leave scars, and falling for someone new means facing the pain of the past. In a world full of trust issues, broken hearts, and second chances-can Zac and Fatima risk it all to find something real?

Cruising to Love
When New York contractor Zac Taylor finally takes a break to celebrate the launch of his construction company, a guys' cruise to the Bahamas seems like the perfect reset-no deadlines, no stress, no strings. Atlanta attorney Fatima Wilson is on the same ship, toasting her hard-won bar exam victory with her girls and vowing to keep her heart off-limits. One late-night club, one unforgettable dance, and two sparks that burn hotter than the ocean sun-and then they part without exchanging numbers. A year later, fate spins the block. Zac relocates to Atlanta to expand his business and runs straight into the woman he couldn't forget. Fatima is thriving in the courtroom but still searching for a peace she's never had in love. Their chemistry is instant, but real life is louder than rooftop vibes: ex-situationships resurface, family expectations close in, and career ambitions threaten to pull them in opposite directions. Can two people who have mastered survival learn to trust a love that feels like home-slow, steady, and undeniably real? Cruising to Love is a slow-burn, grown-folk romance about building foundations that last, choosing peace over chaos, and discovering that sometimes the softest love hits the hardest.
