Fair Trade

As a professional football player, Jrue should be living a life of luxury when he's not on the field. Yet, he finds himself with the odds stacked against him. If it's not his money hungry and resentful family members trying to dip in his pockets, it's women coming at him from all angles. Tired and frustrated, Jrue finds himself being traded to Atlanta, his hometown, and he can only hope for some peace. Yet, his cup is looking half-empty instead of half-full. Fleeing one problem, only for several more to be waiting for him causes Jrue to experience a mental spiral.

Jream has never been the center of anyone's universe. Not her mother's—who's suffering from early onset Alzheimer's and other mental issues, not the man she can't seem to escape—who think it's his right to treat her like trash, and not the world who refuses to value Black women. A little bit of light between the stormy clouds is all Jream wants, but it feels so out of reach.

Jrue and Jream are two broken, and tortured souls. Entering one another's orbit could be dangerous, causing everyone to be sucked into a black hole, or they may just have the luck of a shooting star on their side.
