CHOCOLATE DOVE
RELEASE APRIL 2012
What started as a simple way to make a few dollars turned into an extravagant lifestyle of affluent patrons that paid top dollar just for a few hours of her company. Many girls worked with had paid their dues from stripping, to street walking before ever joining Choice, an elite escort agency in Manhattan, but not Dove, the Somalian-born beauty. After one month, she was hooked. She didn’t make top dollar like some of the girls due to her “no sex” policy, but being one of the only black women at the very private, elite agency, landed her many dates, trips, and gifts. One-thousand dollars an hour was more than she was making at photo-shoots.
In six months, she’d saved up over forty thousand, bought her parents a beautiful home back in Somalia and went back to school to get her masters. She still worked for Choice, but she was no longer the “top chocolate” as she was often referred to. More importantly, Dove found love with an abstract artist named Grayson Charles, known for his assemblage work. He only had a few collectors, but when Dove convinced some of her clients to become fans of his work, word got out and soon Grayson was in galleries throughout Manhattan. Dove kept her secret, the two began dating and a year later the couple became engaged. Dove tried to retire from the business but her connection to this world was far deeper than money, and though she’d moved away, it came looking for her. She fell back into the escort game, and tried to balance life as the wife of one man, and the fantasy of many.

After a few years on the road, Henna James, nationally known singer, takes a sabbatical and visits an old friend. Tired and frustrated with her career, she looks to Monica for rejuvenation, but while visiting she meets Craig, Monica’s brother. Though they refuse to admit it, immediately there are sparks. However, once they each discover a similar love for blues and soul music, the flame ignites and they have a torrid love affair. All is good, until Nia, Craig’s long time, long-distance girlfriend to the city, giving him a commitment ultimatum. He doesn’t want to hurt Nia, even though he is developing feelings for Henna. However, prideful Henna assures Craig that their affair is over and her interest in him was strictly sexual. Refusing to deal with a cheating man, she ignores his continuing advances, begins dating another man and pushes Craig far away as possible. Henna knows this is best, until she discovers she is pregnant with Craig’s child. Ultimately, she has to deal with the truth. Each carrying a heap of pride, they play games with intent to break the other down. Craig wants to be with Henna, but is it too late? If he chooses to leave Nia and pursue her, will Henna ever be able to trust her instincts and confess he is the man she’s been looking for?
