Renz was only supposed to show Lauryn his dad's Impala…but that garage got hot FAST. 😮‍💨🔥

We’re bringing the stories of Delicious Escape Publications off the page and into cinematic vertical microdramas - starting with The Delicious Escape by Marlon S. Hayes.

For this scene, we wanted the visuals to feel the way Prince’s “Insatiable” sounds: sensual, luxurious, slow-burning, and steamy without being explicit. Using the manuscript as our foundation, we developed the characters, locations, storyboard, and video through AI filmmaking tools - then brought the chemistry to life.

The Delicious Escape Saga is coming soon to Reels, Shorts, and TikTok - along with more bold romances and provocative short stories from our small collective of authors.

Would you have followed Renz into that garage? 👀🤣

📚 MEET LAURYN

By day, she’s shaping young minds in a Chicago classroom.

Patient, driven, and fiercely independent, Lauryn Carter has spent years building a life rooted in purpose, faith, and hard work. She loves her family, values her peace, and believes the right things are worth waiting for.

She’s not searching for romance.

She’s focused on her students, her future, and becoming the best version of herself.

But sometimes life has other plans.

Sometimes the person meant for you shows up when you’re least expecting it.

And sometimes a chance encounter changes everything.

Teacher.
Daughter.
Friend.
Woman of faith.

And maybe the woman who finally catches Renz’s attention.

Meet Renz.

The type of man who notices the details.

The type who opens doors, listens more than he talks, and never feels the need to be the loudest person in the room.

At thirty-two, Renz has built a life most people would envy. He’s successful, respected, and comfortable in his own skin. But after years of putting work first, he’s beginning to wonder if there’s more to life than checking off accomplishments.

He isn’t looking for drama.
He isn’t chasing attention.
He’s looking for something real.

A genuine connection.
A meaningful conversation.
A woman who sees the man behind the success.

Strong without being arrogant.
Confident without being cocky.
Thoughtful without losing his edge.

And when fate places the right woman in his path, Renz discovers that sometimes the greatest adventures begin when you least expect them.

💙 Introducing Renz from The Delicious Escape.

Would you swipe right on him? 👀

Meet Jean & Mike

Every family has that one sibling who keeps it real…

And every sibling needs that one friend who never leaves their side.

Meet Jean and Mike.

Jean is Renz’s younger sister. Smart. Funny. Independent. The type of woman who says exactly what’s on her mind and refuses to let her brother get away with anything.

Mike has been Renz’s best friend for years. Loyal. Dependable. Always ready with advice, a joke, or a reality check when it’s needed most.

Together, they become two of the most important voices in Renz’s life as he tries to figure out what he really wants—and what he’s willing to risk to get it.

Sometimes family tells you what you need to hear.

Sometimes your best friend does too.

And sometimes they’re both right.
