What happens when your heart finds comfort in the one person tied to your pain? Still reeling from the loss of her sister and nephew, Oriana is just trying to survive-and her on again, off again boyfriend Tyrell isn't helping. When a tense encounter at the barbershop introduces her to Lamont. A quiet man haunted by his own tragedy, an unexpected bond begins to form. But Lamont is hiding more than his grief. The murder of his best friend Dante still casts a long shadow- especially since Tyrell might know more than he let on. As emotions deepen and secrets unravel, Oriana finds herself caught between two men and a history that refuses to die.

Works #1: Ahmad Hassan Sinclair, 25, was taught to always fight and work hard for what he wanted. In the life he was given nothing was ever handed to him. He grew up in the hoods of Houston, witnessing things no child should ever see in their life. His mom and pop worked hard just tryna make ends meet, to keep food on the table and clothes on their kids back. But it was far from easy .. Seeing his parents struggle the way they did for years, motivated him to work ten times harder. He made it a mission to not end up like his folks, he wanted more in life. He knew there was more to life than what he grew up seeing. But he also knew in order to be somebody in this world as a black man he had to fight and strive for it and also dodge the bullshit that came along with it. He set goals, he had dreams, he had a vision and nothing could stop him from achieving them. Now that he's at the top of his game, making money, living the live he always wanted, seeing the things he never seen and moving up the success path .. he figured life would eventually turn out to be great but sadly he still isn't happy or content with how things are.. there's this one missing piece in his life that will fully complete him. But let's see how determined Ahmad will be to find what that missing piece is or what he will do to get it.
