Star Anderson's juggling a lot-she's a law student, a young mom, and got her own side hustles going in the vibrant state of Peachtree. Just when she thinks she's got everything under control, Trey Matthews, an NFL star and her old college flame, pops back into her life. They shared a wild weekend last year that still has Star wondering if there's more to him than just his laid-back, cool exterior.

Trey's been hard to read, keeping his feelings locked up tight, while Star's been left guessing if she was just a momentary distraction or something real. As he preps for another season under the bright lights, Star's got to figure out if she's willing to dive into his world of fame and drama, or if she should keep hustling on her own path.

"Crossing Paths" is a story about navigating life's twists and turns in the South, where every decision comes with a bit of drama and a lot of heart. It's about chasing dreams, facing fears, and finding love in unexpected places, all while keeping it real in the face of uncertainty.

But as they work together, he discovers there's more to her than meets the eye-her passion for life, fierce independence, and determination to break free from expectations even when her adoptive parents are morbidly controlling and mentally abusive. Over time, their unlikely bond blossoms into an undeniable romance, and with her by his side, he finds the strength to confront the challenges of balancing two worlds, all while striving to fulfill his basketball dreams.

"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. * * * BLACKBiiRDS is the rewritten, reworked 2.0 version of its former draft: Souled Out.
