Project Angelo chronicles the remarkable journey of Angelo Rivas, a talented basketball player whose life unfolds through triumphs and tribulations both on and off the court. From his humble beginnings to becoming a superstar in the NBA, Angelo navigates the complexities of fame, family dynamics, and personal growth.

Starting with his early days in Puerto Rico, where basketball became his escape, Angelo's determination and raw talent catch the eye of scouts, leading to a scholarship at Villanova University. The narrative follows his college career, where he learns valuable lessons about teamwork, resilience, and personal responsibility.

As Angelo enters the NBA draft and joins the Charlotte Hornets, the story delves into his rapid rise to stardom. Alongside his achievements on the court-multiple championships, MVP awards, and record-breaking performances-Angelo grapples with personal challenges. These include reconciling with his absentee father, supporting his family, and guiding his son Trevon through the pitfalls of fame.

The novel captures the highs of Angelo's career, such as championship victories and All-Star accolades, juxtaposed with the lows of family crises and personal sacrifices. Throughout, Angelo's character evolves, shaped by his experiences and the relationships he forms with teammates, mentors, and loved ones.

Project Angelo is not just a sports biography but a story of resilience, redemption, and the pursuit of greatness against all odds. It explores themes of identity, legacy, and the impact of one's choices on those closest to them. Ultimately, Angelo Rivas's journey serves as an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity and finding purpose both on and off the court.All Rights Reserved

Every Saint Needs a Sinner by _merrittking_

Jourdan Mathews has a secret, and she knows she needs to take this one to the grave. * * * Her life was never complicated: a college student with a close family, good friends, and a plan for her future as a doctor. Had that night had never happened, she might even have been called ordinary. But we're not made by ordinary moments. Now in her senior year, Jourdan is in freefall after a catalyzing summer that turned everything upside-down. Her friends know she's in trouble, and her parents hope they've done enough to save her, but Jourdan doesn't feel anything anymore. They say moving on happens slowly, but something needs to change fast before life moves on without her. Ryder Harris considers his life to be the farthest thing from "ordinary." He isn't just the kind-of-good basketball player that made him popular in high school. He is the kind-of-great that comes along once in a generation, a fact that has propelled him on a course which only attempts to reach for the stars. If you ask him, this isn't luck or special talent. No, Ryder Harris makes a point to focus himself, to remain undistracted. He's got priorities, and at the very top of his list is being drafted into the NBA. That dream is very close to becoming a reality his senior year, so close he can almost taste it. But the universe has a nasty habit of giving us what we need, not what we want. * * * part I - Jourdan & Ryder * * * Every Saint Needs a Sinner. Copyright. © May 2022. All Rights Reserved.
