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.

In a city that never slows down, love doesn't come easy-it comes with a price. Crystal thought moving to New York would be her fresh start. With nothing but her father's inheritance, raw talent, and a dream of becoming a designer, she's determined to build a life that's hers. No distractions. No detours. Just success. But New York has a way of rewriting plans. Devale is the life of every party-the man everyone knows, the one everyone watches. In Brooklyn, they call him *The Party King*. Nights blur into mornings, women come and go, and commitment? That's never been his style. He's built his name off the nightlife... and he has no intention of slowing down. Until Crystal. She's different-focused, unbothered, and completely unimpressed by his reputation. What starts as curiosity quickly turns into something neither of them expected. But when two worlds collide-one chasing dreams, the other running from reality-something is bound to break. Because Crystal isn't built for his chaos... and Devale isn't ready for her kind of love. In a city full of lights, temptation, and secrets, they'll have to decide- is this just another moment... or something worth risking everything for?

Enjoy🤗

Zac Taylor is known as Atlanta's infamous "City dick," never getting attached and leaving a trail of broken hearts behind. Fatima Wilson, a confident and career-driven paralegal at her friend Andi Barnes' law firm, has no time for men like him. When she first meets Zac, his bold charm doesn't impress her-especially with her friends, like Karen, warning her to steer clear of his toxic reputation. But after a series of unexpected run-ins and vulnerable late-night conversations, Fatima starts to fall for him. As her feelings deepen, she finds herself torn between her loyalty to her friends and her growing connection with the man who might just be bad for her... or exactly what she needs.

When Fatima Wilson returns to her small hometown trying to rebuild her life, the last thing she expects is to meet Zachary Taylor-a college football star working nights at his uncle's gas station. What begins as late-night conversations under neon lights slowly turns into something deeper. But as secrets from Fatima's past start to surface, Zach realizes the girl he's falling for may be connected to a dangerous world she's been trying to escape.

Book Summary: U & I Fatima, a devoted single mother to four-year-old Chloe and proud owner of a charming local bakery, finds herself drawn to the ruggedly handsome construction worker she sees every morning across the street. His name is Zac-a quiet, seemingly distant man focused on his work, unaware of the gentle glances sent his way. Or so Fatima believes. What she doesn't know is that Zac has noticed her too. A single father to five-year-old Zayden, Zac has been quietly admiring the warm, determined woman who always seems to start her day with flour-dusted hands and a smile. Fate brings them together one afternoon at the park, where their children form an instant bond-and so do they. As friendship blossoms into something deeper, Fatima and Zac navigate the challenges of single parenthood, personal fears, and the scars of past heartbreak. You and I is a heartfelt story of second chances, the quiet power of connection, and the kind of love that grows slowly but roots deeply-between two people, and the families they bring with them.
