Damascus

Damascus
is the epitome of a wild boy. Parties, alcohol, and sex with whoever he wants,
whenever he wants. As the son of a preacher whose flock is the second largest
in the country, Damascus splurges on as many luxuries as his heart desires
behind closed doors. Until his parents threaten to cut him off when one of his
many conquests shows up pregnant with his child.

Afraid
of losing his inheritance, he does his best to clean up his act. The First Lady
gives him one final ultimatum: marry his little plaything or be cut off
entirely. Her family HAS to appear wholesome in the eyes of the church at all
costs. Damascus decides he’ll settle down and keep his cool… until he lays eyes
on the sister of his permanent entanglement. 

Currently
enrolled at an HBCU in the same city as her sister, Badu is a free spirit and
the opposite of her twin sister, Bailee. Her sister loved the party life, while
she was perfectly content with a few palo santo sticks for clarity and crystals
for balance. When her opportunistic sister forces her to come to dinner to meet
the man who fathered her child and open bank account, Badu relents to supports
her good sis.  

Laying
eyes on Badu, Damascus is smitten. While Bailee was cute, her sister was the
yin to his yang, the beginning to his end, the…exact opposite of everything his
family believed in. To them, Badu was nothing more than a tree hugging, crystal
worshipping heathen whom they wanted no parts of. While her sister was no
better, she was the better choice to sit next to the First Lady on the front
pew every Sunday.

Contrary
to his parents’ wishes, Damascus still finds himself falling in love more and
more with Badu’s spirit every day. But if he loses control, he could
potentially lose it all. In the end, will he choose between his shallow baby
mama or the woman he loves?
