Would You Ride for Me? — Jasmine Williams

Often times people speak on what they will or won't do in a certain situation. But never say what you won't do because you might find yourself doing exactly what you said you never would. Arayah found that out the hard way when she found herself repeating the same cycle that she watched her mother become victim to. At the young age of ten, Arayah watched her mother get shot at the hands of her abusive, alcoholic father. She promised that she would never put herself in the same situation her mother had, but when she met every woman's dream, Darius, she quickly learned that he was her worst nightmare. She also learned to never say never because she endured the same abuse that she despised watching her mother go through. When Arayah barely escapes Darius with her life intact, she left him alone for good. In the process, she meets a man named Leo, who helps her get back on her feet. Leo is an ex-king pin who stepped into the music business to go all the way legit. He decided to leave the game alone for good when the love of his life, Latrice, was found murdered. While Leo is pursuing a broken Arayah and trying his best to mend her broken spirit, he finds out that once you are a part of the underworld, you can never really escape it. Many obstacles come their way, but will they be able to prove to each other that they will have each other's back through the sun and the rain? Will secrets that surface from the past bring them closer together or pull them apart? Is Arayah too broken to ever truly let someone love her or allow herself to love? Or is Leo all the man that she needs to melt the ice around her heart? Find out as you sit back and enjoy the ride that Leo and Arayah are about to take you on.
