He had always been a hit it and quit it type dude; however, the first time he laid eyes on Lou, something inside of him shifted a little. He didn't know if she was another man's wife or not. But then again, he didn't care. Men lie. Men cheat. Women lie. Women cheat. Today's world was a fashion show. And nearly everyone wanted to be in a relationship with someone that had money or looked like they had it. Two independent souls from two different worlds cross paths and their lives change forever. Author Theresa Reese takes you on a roller coaster ride in the first installation of her riveting new series, He's My Thug, I'm His Peace, where secrets unravel, loyalty is tested, and some lives may be lost.
