BlackBiirds in Bloomington, MN

Toni 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 three years. Undeterred by her juvenile delinquent status, Jett plans to move to the West Coast, take dance classes, and maybe even snag a music video.  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 budding dance career.
But Roman Carter isn't liable for the damage caused by his blessed good genes. The recent death of his brother has left him unfocused, indignant, and irrevocably heartbroken. Well, he is focused on one thing...retribution. Jett Jaletta becomes a roadblock on Roman's path to vengeance, forcing him to take a detour and amend his grief - and his heart. After discovering the true murderer of his brother, Roman must decide if pulling the trigger will be worth it after all.
An urban rendition of bildungsroman with a dash of slow-burn romance,
