Three's A Crowd

By J. Maurice

Iesha thought she was building a life-raising her daughters, holding her family together, surviving Chicago the best way she knew how. What she didn't realize was that survival has a price... and sometimes it comes with blood on it.

Pulled between Chris, the man who offered stability but drifted into betrayal, and Sleepy, a feared street chief whose protection blurred into possession, Iesha finds herself living a double life she never intended to choose. What begins as temptation spirals into manipulation, violence, and irreversible loss as the streets tighten their grip around everyone she loves.

As secrets surface-tampered DNA tests, betrayals disguised as loyalty, and deadly power plays between rival gangs-Iesha is forced to confront the consequences of loving two men in a world that allows only one. Fires are set, bodies fall, and truth comes too late to save everyone.

At the center of it all is a woman fighting to protect her children while unraveling the lies that shaped her past. With faith, grief, and resilience as her anchors, Iesha must decide whether she will remain trapped in cycles of survival... or finally choose peace.

This is a story about love turned dangerous, loyalty twisted into control, and a woman who learns-too late-that the streets don't forgive hesitation.
