Hollow: A Hood Love Story

“Love is giving someone the power to destroy you, while hoping they never will.”



Lololi—known as Love—is far from the stereotypical dope boy’s girlfriend. Raised with privilege, discipline, and ambition, she had every advantage in life. Determined to secure her own future, Love leaves her family behind and moves to South Florida to finish school and build a career. But distance changes everything. Her longtime boyfriend, Rowe, quickly rises to power on the streets of Florida, and with fast money comes temptation. Though he showers Love with luxury, he withholds the one thing she craves most—faithfulness—forcing her into a painful cycle of love, betrayal, and self-doubt.



Hakeem, better known as Hollow, is confident, ruthless, and emotionally untouchable. Thrust into a dangerous game at a young age, Hollow mastered survival through money and power—until the woman he loved walked away with their child. Her abandonment froze his heart, leaving him to see every woman as the same. The only person untouched by his emotional armor is his sister, Adore.



To Hollow, love was a weakness—until he met Love. What begins as indifference quickly turns into something neither of them expected. Love’s presence challenges Hollow’s hardened heart, while Hollow forces Love to confront what she truly deserves. Together, they face the risks of opening up in a world where vulnerability can be deadly.



Love can be intoxicating… and poisonous if mishandled. The question is, will Hollow and Love overcome their scars and fear of betrayal, or will their guarded hearts destroy the very thing they both desire most—love?
