They Dreamed Of Love

Jerome never planned this life.

What started as dreams of basketball and something bigger turned into fast money, street ties, and a toxic relationship he couldn’t seem to escape. After years in foster care, broken homes, and survival mode, Jerome learned one thing—love don’t come easy, and sometimes it ain’t even real.

Then he meets Julissa.

Beautiful, driven, and determined to build a life on her own terms, Julissa isn’t like the other women Jerome’s used to. She’s focused, independent, and done with being played. After walking away from a long-term relationship filled with betrayal, she’s not looking for love—just peace.

But when their paths cross, everything changes.

What starts as attraction quickly turns into something deeper… something neither of them expected.

But the past doesn’t let go easy.

Jerome is still tied to a dangerous lifestyle—and a woman who refuses to let him go. Julissa is still healing from heartbreak and fighting to protect her future. And when love gets mixed with jealousy, obsession, and the streets, things can turn deadly fast.

This isn’t a fairytale.

This is love in its rawest form—messy, passionate, toxic, and real.

• Love vs. survival
