If Not For Love

2014

Ivy Jones is the baddest female in Detroit—or at least that's what she thinks. High maintenance and all about a come up, Ivy cares about no one but herself. Only messing with ballers and guys willing to do whatever for her, Ivy is a high class gold digger and figures she can pull any guy she wants...until she meets the infamous Hakeem Miller. A New York native with a swag to die for, Hakeem is a hustler to the core who stands firmly by the motto M.O.B. The women love him and the men fear him. But all Ivy wants is a little bit of his time...and income, of course. However, what she gains instead may be more than what she bargained for. Playing with fire, someone is bound to get burned. Will love and loyalty prevail in the end? Or will a set of hidden agendas cause heartache and turmoil?

If Not For Love

2015

Falling in love with the hottest, most hated kingpin in the drug game had changed Ivy’s life for the worse. Hakeem was a force to be reckoned with and Ivy had definitely met her match. Still, after all their drama the love remained. However, the two could no longer be an item. After falling victim to a crime committed by a close friend, Keem shows his undying love and loyalty by seeking revenge. Hakeem Miller had relocated from New York, to the grimy streets of Detroit where he quickly rose to the top. But as they say – ‘you can only stay on top for so long’. Flooding the streets with drugs, hood fame, and bringing in serious dough did nothing but fill larceny and greed in the hearts of soldiers he thought he could trust. The hustle he’d grown to love had done nothing but cause turmoil and bloodshed. Love had caused him to slip-up. Could that slip-up have cost him his life? Were the two really over? Will Ivy ever heal from the pain and heartache caused by Hakeem?
