"This was suppose to be easy, nobody was suppose to get hurt". Twenty year old Ivory Santana was what most people would call friendly and caring. She'd be the person you'd least expect to have a father running one of the biggest drug trafficking industry's in America. Ivory has went through great measures keeping that part of her life private while attending college at NYU, that is until she's taken. Twenty two year old Jade and his older brother Ohaji are 2 completely different types of people that you wouldn't expect to even associate with each other if they weren't related.

Sounds simple enough right? WRONG. What happens when Ivory teams up with the brothers and this turns into a cat and mouse game between bonds and blood?

I'm just a black girl living in a hardcore world.

A depressed teenage girl finally wants to change and finds assistance along the way. This will be a story of love, courage, and personal discovery.

Her name was Oasis Kai Evans, and she was sick of being the oddball in life. She was that black girl who was always stuck in between. Oasis is always underappreciated and taken for granted. At school in the morning, nobody would want to talk to her. When it came to conversations, she'd always have to start them. When it came to music tastes, no one ever heard of the artists she was talking about. Worst of all, Oasis couldn't confide in anybody about anything, not even her own mother and father. So, she decided to go about finding what she wanted in her own way. Somehow it worked out in her favor... She found exactly what she was looking for in the most unexpected person.

Katherine is extremely modest and humble towards herself and her body. She's really shy for the most part but when her boss gives her a modeling job and puts her in a magazine, everything changes. Including her feelings for her boss, August.

Have you ever felt so used and abused that you wanted to end it all? I did about a month ago when I got raped. I tried to tell everyone even the police but they thought that I was lying and making stuff up. I feel so used and people keep spreading likes about me being a hoe when they don't even know the full story. What makes it even worse is that I got betrayed by someone who was really close to me and that I thought would never leave my side. My bestfriend.
