After calling it quits with her controlling boyfriend Rodney, whom she was with for two years, Kemistry is now focused on her dream. Even though she has the voice of an angel with the looks to match, dancing is her heart. Her dream is to open her own dance studio, giving hope to young dancers with her same passion. She begins to work at a local bar as a waitress/ singer, saving up money to move out of her foster mother's house into her own spot. She puts love on the backburner while she focuses on her goals. That is until she meets Syn, one of the hottest rappers in the game, and a deadly savage in the streets of VA.
Syn is the hottest rapper on the charts, but also the most powerful gangster in the city of Richmond. He is known in the streets for not giving a fuck. He has his hands in every drug dealer's pot and has the charts lit with his grimy, street lyrics. Syn and his brothers are untouchable and are known not be crossed. Syn doesn't have a main woman in his life and he doesn't care if he ever does. A fateful performance changes his mind and heart when he begins to vibe with the one and only Kemistry Grey. Kemistry is like a breath of fresh of air to his suffocated heart. Syn tries to fight the urges by keeping it professional, but when the savage meets his Queen it is nothing that can break the connection.
Zoey, Kemistry's foster sister and best friend, is the closest person to Kemistry other than her foster mother. Growing up in the same foster home together, she is the only person who knows Kemistry's deepest secrets. Zoey has a deep secret of her own. She is the total opposite of Kemistry. She's wild, out spoken and a gold digger. She is looking for her King, who must be a baller who can provide her every need. She refuses to be with a guy that is making anything close to minimum wage.
This book is full of lies, toxic love, jealousy and romance. Syn and Kemistry go through a lot of ups and downs in their sudden love exspade.
"I call this one pain. And this lil one right here under his wing is suffering."
"No offense, but...who the hell would wanna be reminded of pain and Suffering? If I was going to get something etched into my skin forever, I'd want something that would bring me joy."
His grin bemused her. As if he expected her to contradict his moral logic.
"True that, shorty. And I agree, no doubt. But who's to say my birds don't bring me joy?"
Dumbfounded, Jett lifted her eyes from the silhouetted birds up to meet his tender gaze, stumped on how to answer his question. She shrugged with one arm, "Do they?"

Jett Jaletta has enough of her own problems. Unreliable family members that depend on her for everything, too many bills with not enough income. And a federal probation sentence that's held her hostage for the past three years. The last thing she needs is the drama that comes along with a handsome face, drama that could jeopardize everything she's working for - a liberating dance career.
But Roman Carter isn't liable for the damage caused by his blessed good genes. As a matter of fact, his alluring appearance and its effect on the opposite sex is the furthest on his list of priorities. The recent murder of his only brother has left him unfocused, indignant, and irrevocably heartbroken. Well, he is focused on one thing...retribution.
BlackBiirds is the intertwining story of two characters-who's deepest pains and struggles happen to be caused by the other person. Ironically, surrounding situations, dangerous rivals, and even their own family members cause these two to become tangled in ways they can't escape from.
