𝙨𝙖𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙚 𝙭 𝙘𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙣. ❦ | 𝐔𝐑𝐁𝐀𝐍 𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 . ᶜʰʳⁱᵃᵐᵒⁿᵗᵉ ʳᵉᵃˡ ᵍʰᵉᵗᵗᵒ 𝐌𝐘 𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐒𝐈𝐍 is a haunting, slow burn descent into the kind of love that feels more like a loaded gun than a safe place to land. Set in the shadows of Los Angeles, where palm trees line the blocks but can't cover up the sirens, body bags & trauma, it follows the twisted, all consuming bond between two souls, two victims of life's circumstances, too damaged to love right, but too addicted to let go. This ain't ALL fiction. It's the unfiltered truth of what happens when love turns toxic, when passion is laced with pain, & when walking away could save your life, but staying feels like the only way to breathe. It's about being hooked on someone who breaks you in pieces, slowly, until you don't even recognize your own reflection. What makes it worse for them? The violence didn't just live outside their door. Both were born into a family war where colors, street names, & grudges were damn near inherited. Their love was always a risk, always a target. They tried to escape it, to build something that didn't echo their past with one other, but still, the pain followed. Loss piled up. Friends, family, pieces of themselves, until even love felt like another battlefield. The streets never really let go of their past. Not when last names are triggers. Not when loyalty is life or death. In this story, heartbreak isn't some poetic lifetime script, it's violent & real. Mental peace is a luxury, & the heart's pull feels more like a curse than a blessing. 𝐌𝐘 𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐒𝐈𝐍 is for the ones who loved past the red flags, stayed through the damage, & bled for a connection that was never safe to begin with. It's violent. Tender. Fucked up. But it's honest.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ The TV series "Strippers Need Love Too" follows Ecstasy Haynes, a vivacious Bajan bombshell in Atlanta's most notorious strip scene, determined to turn her stage persona into a real future. At just 23, she wants it all: money, status, and true love. But when a shocking massacre brings chaos to the club and forces its sudden closure, her fast-track to financial freedom is cut short, leaving her scrambling for a new plan in a world that sees her as disposable. Torn between two fascinating men--Diondre Walker, a talented, charismatic entrepreneur with a messy past, and Zeus Garza, a high-profile, Trinidadian male model whose allure is as dangerous as it is irresistible--Ecstasy finds herself walking a thin line between desire and destruction. Both men want her, and neither of them will back down. The deeper she falls, the more her ambition threatens to drown in a sea of fixation, betrayal, and bloodshed. This is more than just your average love triangle; this is survival, where every dollar, every dance, and every decision could cost her everything. In a universe where strippers are underestimated and men play dirty, Ecstasy's greatest weapon isn't her beauty; it's her ability to outsmart the game. @GLOSSNEILES ON THE COVER ART.
