One Life, One Shot

Uptown streets don't offer second chances. CJ knows this all too well. Raised in a world of hustling and survival, his older brother Marcus taught him the rules of the game before losing his life to it. Now, CJ's trying to stay one step ahead in a city where every move could be his last.

As the streets heat up, CJ finds himself caught between loyalty to his crew and the dangerous out-of-towners who are closing in fast. Friends become enemies, and betrayal lurks around every corner. With his sister Keisha depending on him, CJ struggles to balance the pull of the streets and the desire for a life beyond the hustle.

But the streets don't let go easy. CJ faces hard choices—whether to stay in the game or break free before the same streets that took Marcus take him too. With threats mounting, can CJ find a way out, or will he be forced to make the ultimate sacrifice?

One Life, One Shot is a gripping urban fiction novel about love, loss, and survival. It's a raw and real journey through the highs and lows of street life, filled with loyalty, betrayal, and the fight for redemption. For CJ, there's only one shot, and this time, it's all or nothing.
