Two girls brought together by the thing that changed them the most. Abuse. Years, after the horrors that changed both Ziya and Denim's life they are closer than ever but have two completely different outlooks on love. For Ziya, using a man for his money is something she would never do. You could barely get her to talk to a man better yet use one. Soon, she meets Mecca a man in a league all of his own. Despite, her fears Ziya gives him a chance and she enters a world she never expected. Denim on the other hand, would love for a rich man to fall into her lap and sweep her completely off her feet. Denim wished for the life where she didn't work behind a desk at a call center. But instead she wanted the life of the chicks on Instagram, where every other picture was a new pair of shoes or bags. Although she has the looks Denim can't seem to find the one. Cue the hot headed, possibly insane Blaze. A man looking for everything but love. After a one nightstand between the two, Denim gets more than she ever bargained for.

I'm not that great at summarizing stories, but don't let that stop you from reading. WARNING...WARNING...WARNING... There's a lot of sexual scenes (very detailed) and cursing, so PARENTAL DISCRETION is strongly recommended throughout the entire story. Life on the streets is always survivor of the fittest. So when 22 year old Lyric starts to get involved with Billy, the biggest drug lord on the east coast, she thinks she has the perfect life. But being with Billy, Lyric learns that more enemies than either of them can keep count of is also part of the package. Will Lyric be willing to go to hell and back just to prove that hood love does exist? Or will thugs and hood love be defeated again? Stay tuned, but let the record be known that there's never a happily-ever-after in the hood, and not in this story either. There's only the constant thought of survival...
