If you think loving the plug is hard, try being a plug in love. The ups and downs of business are nothing compared to all the ups and downs of trying to have love, happiness, and all that other good stuff. The last thing Em-kay expected to do was come face to face with a missing, yet important piece of his past. Now searching harder than ever for answers that are a matter of life or death, timing couldn’t be worse as Breelynn is pulled into a mess of trouble that may prove harmful for both her and Em-kay. Will Em have the solution to their problems, or will he uncover the one thing that could lead to a life sentence? Try as he might, Sas can’t seem to shake the chaos that seems to keep him and Purple at odds. Just when things are on the up and up for them, they’re knocked two steps back, constantly fighting a losing battle. Motherhood has created a new Purple, but the old Purple is ready and waiting for the right person to cross her at the wrong time. Juggling business, divorce, drama, and intimacy is weighing Sas down. Can he rise above it all, or will Purple be forced to remind people that she’s still not to be messed with? Me Me is doing well by not interfering in Peanut’s personal affairs, but she’s fighting her own personal wars. Tired of playing mother to her siblings because of her mother’s addiction, Me Me is desperate for a change, but will her next move leave her trapped in the crosshairs of danger? Peanut will move heaven and earth to keep Ava from winning full custody of their son, but Ava has a master plan that’s sure to claim innocent victims. Will Peanut come out on top, or will life as he knows it come to an end? More secrets. Plenty of drama. Twists and turns you’ll never see coming. ALL relationships are put to the test in this explosive finale.

Being in love with the plug isn’t always easy, especially when that love is forbidden. Best friends, Purple and Breelynn, know that all too well. After secretly being in a relationship for the past two years with Em-kay, Purple’s brother, Breelynn has grown tired of only being able to claim him behind closed doors. She is ready to live their relationship out loud, mainly because she’s now carrying his seed. However, Em-kay isn’t ready to reveal their secret, and for good reason: he’s the reason their relationship is forbidden. Will Breelynn get her way, or will she remain Em-kay’s little secret? Purple has always followed Em-kay’s every rule, but turning 18 has her ready to break out of her shell and do grown woman things. With a little bit of liquid courage, she finds herself confessing her true feelings to Sas. Never seeing her as more than his annoying little sister, rude boy Sas quickly shuts her down. Loyalty is his middle name, and he just can’t see himself going against the code by going down that road with Purple and betraying his boy, Em-kay. There’s just one thing he’s not counting on: Purple isn’t the type to take no for an answer, and she’s not giving him up without a fight. Will Sas stick to his guns, or will Purple prove to be the kind of temptation he can’t resist? Secrets are only secrets if no one finds out about them. Will the crew be able to keep their secrets under wraps, or will emotions get the best of them, putting everyone’s truth on blast? In part one of this hood love tale, you’ll find out just how hard it is to love the plug.

Now that the secrets are out, the once tightly knit group of friends is at odds. Four months have passed with no word from Sas, which has Peanut ready to make Em-kay disappear right along with him. Things take a dark turn for the worse when the stash house is robbed, forcing the guys to set their differences aside and come together. Things get even more complicated when Peanut refuses to bury the hatchet so easily and get back to business. An eye for an eye is his motto and when guns are drawn, there’s just one question: will they make amends or dead their friendship for good? With the guys on the brink of an all-out war, Breelyn and Me Me are sticking closer to each other than ever before. With their sights locked and loaded on finding Purple—who is also missing—nothing else matters. Unfortunately, their search for Purple takes a sharp detour the girls never saw coming. Will the BFF threesome take a tragic turn and be forever known as a twosome? More secrets. More lies. More problems—that’s the life you live when you’re in love with the plug.
