For Camden “Cam” Davis, doing either task seemed almost impossible. Raised by his single mother, Cam’s disdain for his absentee father intensified as he grew older. Being his father’s only child, Cam was afforded many luxuries that other kids his age weren’t. His upbringing seemed normal to his adolescent mind until reality stepped in. After rejecting his family’s financial support, Cam made money the only way he knew how. With his girlfriend, Asha, by his side, Cam soon found out that getting money the easy way was harder than he thought. Jail or the grave were his only two ways out and he found that out the hard way. Asha’s love for money outweighed everything, including her love for Cam. When Cam decided that the street life was no longer one that he wanted to live, Asha had a hard time adjusting. Being broke wasn’t a good look, in Asha’s opinion, and she was unwilling to compromise for Cam’s sake. Nothing or no one was off limits when it came to her conquering the almighty dollar. She loved Cam with all her heart, but he had to either roll with her or get rolled over. Being the youngest attorney in her firm was an accomplishment that Demi was very proud of. She worked hard to make a name for herself and her career had finally taken a positive turn. Regrettably, the same couldn’t be said about her home life. Demi’s husband, Kamari, was a former dope boy who found it hard to leave the only life that he’d ever known. Being orphaned from birth, Kamari had been fending for himself since he was sixteen years old. Meeting and marrying Demi had changed his life in a good way, but their differences was beginning to drive a wedge through their once happy union. Kamari loved his wife more than anything, but his alter ego was having a hard time staying concealed. With a host of supporting characters, watch how the lives of Camden, Demi, Asha and Kamari intertwine in a way that none of them could ever imagine. With lies, secrets, betrayals and deception on the horizon, it’s almost impossible for everyone to walk away unscathed.

A habitual drunkard (Oxford English Dictionary)'Arms linked, just as we did when we were seventeen, we teeter our way to the club, pausing to tug Emma's stiletto out of a drain cover and sling our empty wine bottle into the bin. For the first time in a long while I feel truly happy. I want to be standing arm-in-arm with my best friend, both completely pole-axed, for the rest of my days.

    Just to give her cheating husband a dose of how it feels. She sought a one night stand; but instead, stumbled upon a serendipitous situation. Nothing should have come from it, but it changed the dynamics of her marriage. A bed unmade… Niecey had always piqued his senses; just as much then as she does now. Although she is considered off limits, it doesn’t stop Asad from seizing the opportunity once it presents itself. He could care less about boundaries. But as bad as he wants her, he knows he could never have her. Two things prevent him from wanting more of her: One, he is about to go away to prison for a few years; and two, he knows she doesn’t want anything more. He understands that he was only something she needed for that night. Those few years have passed; and through familiar circumstances, they have to face one another again. Asad is a young arrogant tatted up diabolical thug known for his churlish disposition. His mouth is reckless, his attitude sucks, and empathetic he is not. Niecey is an entrepreneur, beautiful, and well-off. She’s flawed, but has learned to love herself anyway. They’re not a likely pair, but those factors don’t matter much when they touch. The connection and unquestionable sexual chemistry between them turns their reunion into an ongoing carnal affair. However, things take a turn in a direction Niecey wasn’t intending. The bed has been made… Neither can contend the interdependence that exists between them. Succumbing to its power, they can no longer deny love’s right to live. But how deep will Niecey let their situation get before she can no longer keep the truth away, and from hurting everyone she cherishes, including Asad? Now they must lie in the bed they’ve made…

    Writers write, painters paint, musicians are in the studio. All artists are up at 3AM. Lovers are up as well; because 3AM is the hour at which all guards are let down; when we're at our purest. If you want to get to someone's soul, get them to talk at 3AM... Symphony Stewart is a beautiful girl with a far from beautiful past that she's trying to run away from, but you know what they say about running away from your past, 'it doesn't work because wherever you go, you take yourself with you'; and that's exactly what Symphony does. She takes her problems from Dallas with her to Houston, and without paying any attention, she collides into Kenyatta Kumar, a reckless talking, rude boy from Homestead with a horrid past all his own, a swag all his own, a cocky demeanor all his own; one that makes him see women for what they are, fuck buddies, that is until he meets the gray tornado eyed mean ass that is Symphony. It's their identical souls that push them together and pull them apart in this complicated love story. Is there such a thing as a happily-ever-after for people like them? Can they move past the pain of their pasts for a better future? Maybe. Ask them at 3:AM.
