Crystal Elizabeth has spent her whole life dealing with Zane Maddox...her brother's best friend and her personal headache. He's been in her house, at her table, on her couch, and...ALWAYS in her business. They've fought for years...loudly, sarcastically, and with a kind of energy that makes most people pause and ask, "Are you two...?" No. They're not. They just can't stand each other.
Probably.
Zane is tall, tattooed, and way too good-looking for his own good. Crystal's immune to all of it. Mostly. Maybe. And Zane? He plays it cool, like she's just his best friend's little sister...but she's also the only person who doesn't fall for his charm, which makes ignoring her impossible.
But when a few too-honest moments start slipping through the cracks...awkward silences, surprising acts of kindness, almost-kisses...it gets harder to tell where the line is between enemies and something else. Something... uncomfortably real.

BLACKBiiRDS
"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.Complete

The Ashes Where We Touched
Cameron has always been "the little sister" in everyone's eyes especially to Chase, her brother's ridiculously good-looking best friend who practically grew up in their house. He used to tease her, ruffle her hair, and treat her like she was ten years old, even when she was seventeen. But years later, Cameron returns to her hometown for a fresh start after a rough breakup, and Chase Bennett isn't just her brother's friend anymore - he's now the co-owner of the town's most popular bar, confident, annoyingly protective, and way too good at remembering the little things about her. A temporary arrangement puts Cameron working at the bar to get back on her feet... meaning she's seeing Chase almost every day. There's tension in the way they trade barbs, an electricity when their hands brush while pouring drinks, and a look in his eyes that says he's noticing she's not so little anymore. The problem? Her brother is fiercely protective and is currently going through issues with his own work, meaning he's travelling more then usual - making Chase promise to "watch out for Cameron" while he's out of town. That promise doesn't exactly cover the nights they close the bar together, the quiet talks in the stockroom, or the slow, torturous moments where neither can seem to step away. When her brother returns earlier than planned and catches wind of something, Cameron and Chase have to face the fallout-and decide whether they're willing to risk the friendship that started it all for a love that might be worth every broken rule.
