Flight of the Blackbird Part I

ThenMike Dutton, AKA, The Man of Steel, former star player of the Houston Rockets, has loved his childhood sweetheart, Tonya, his entire life. The plan was always to marry her. But after college he went to the pros, and she had an encounter with Jesus that changed her life. What Tonya wants most in the world is to live happily ever after with the man of her dreams. All he has to do is grant her one tiny request. Answer the call of God. Mike will do anything in the world for Tonya. Except that. So, what's a girl to do when she believes God has called her to marry a minister and her knight in shining armor isn't trying to be that? Break things off for good and pull a disappearing act. NowFresh on the heels of a breakup with a mega preacher, Tonya returns to Houston for a new job at an elite private school. All she wants to do now is, lick her wounds, stack her coins, and get the heck out of Houston before Michael Dutton or anyone connected with Him learns of her return. But the baby that Bella returned with after Hurricane Katrina, is now a five-year-old spitfire named Serenity Keys. She's got a temper that rivals her father, Bad Boy Joshua Keys, and - unbeknownst to Tonya, the job she taken is at Serenity's school. When Serenity gets sent to the office after a fight, Uncle Mike comes to pick her up. He wants a word with the new child development specialist. Now, pulling a disappearing act this time around won't be as simple as Tonya thought. The Flight of the Blackbird Part I ends on a cliffhanger and is a love story told in two parts.
