When Stella Renee Johnson’s roommate invites her to a sex-club party but bails at the last minute, Stella decides to use the opportunity to finally lose her V-card. Just as things heat up between Stella and a sexy stranger, they realize they don’t have protection, and Stella, taking it as a sign that it wasn’t meant to be, flees.
Frustrated in more ways than one, Stella is shocked to learn that the digital media website where she works is partnering with an AI company. She’s even more shocked when the alluring man from the previous night walks in: Max Williams, the CEO’s brother and the creator of the AI program that now threatens her job.
Despite the conflict of interest, Stella and Max can’t resist their magnetic attraction and agree to keep their personal lives separate from work. But the more similarities they discover at home — both Black, book-smart, and bisexual — the more they butt heads at work. Stella and Max must decide whether to think with their heads and walk away from their budding relationship or follow their hearts and take a chance on love, no matter the cost.
A late bloomer thought a visit to a sex-club might jump-start her love life, but instead makes an instant connection that turns her whole world upside down. Sparks Fly is the adult debut from Zakiya N. Jamal.
