Crossing Lanes

Simone Grant is focused, driven, and determined to change the trajectory of her family's future. As a standout Track & Field athlete on a full college scholarship, she's spent her entire life staying disciplined, protecting her heart, and refusing to let distractions pull her away from her goals. Outgoing and confident with a sharp tongue and even sharper ambition, Simone has no plans of getting caught up in relationships, especially not the kind that could challenge everything she's worked so hard to build.

Justin Shaw is brilliant, grounded, and effortlessly charming, Justin is the kind of man who turns heads without trying. Known for his intelligence as much as his quiet confidence, he balances the pressure of excelling academically while helping support the mother who sacrificed everything for him. Though he's always approached life with logic and control, meeting Simone awakens emotions he never expected to wrestle with.

What begins as an unexpected friendship quickly turns into something far deeper-something intense, undeniable, and impossible to ignore. Their chemistry is magnetic. But as feelings grow stronger, so do the questions.
