Title: Her secret thug affair
Description: Lusha Mae Thomas is a single mother trying to make ends meet by any means necessary; even if that means giving something away that should be very precious to her, her daughter Landi. Honor student and innocent in every way, Landi is forced to be a woman way before her time when she is introduced to Reginald by her mother. Although he is a wealthy hard working man, he has other plans for Landi like taking care of home in every way. Being the timid teenager she is, Landi obeys. When she doesn't, she reaps the wrath. It isn't until the night of Landi's twenty-first birthday that her life will forever be changed. This is when she has the pleasure of meeting Lance Carter, a thug on the streets and a business man in his office. Lance is the exact opposite of Reginald. He knows how to value a woman and treat her like Queen. He shows Landi all about love and she welcomes it. This gives Landi the courage she needs to leave her abusive husband Reginald, but he is not so willing to let her go, especially after he finds out about "Her Secret Thug Affair."
