Who is Mayo?
Some say Irvin "Mayo" Mayo is just a cook at Peek-A-Boo's.
Others say he's touched money most men never see... and lost it twice as fast.
The truth? It's about to explode.
In Houston, love is a hustle.
Loyalty is rare.
And betrayal? It can come from your cousin, your closest friend... or the woman you thought would ride for you.
The players:
Mayo - Just trying to work, stack, and stay out of the way.
Vickie - The ex who bled him dry.
Angelica - The curvy bartender who might save him... or sink him.
June Bug - The cousin fighting to keep Mayo clean as the dirt piles up.
Amber - A past flame who reappears with secrets that burn.
The night it all goes wrong:
Lil Ron Ron's 21st birthday was supposed to be bottles, dancers, and nothing but good vibes.
Instead - expired tags, corrupt cops, guard dogs, and a trunk full of the wrong kind of heat.
The BMW's trunk is the key.
Two duffel bags.
A black hard drive worth killing for.
And a list of enemies longer than the freeway.
From hood romance to high-stakes street suspense, Why Don't You Love Me? will have you flipping pages like it's your favorite late-night Tubi binge.
