Her Thickness Was His Weakness

When he smiles and shows off his pearly thirty-twos, every woman’s panties wet from pure desire. Monty is single, tall, dark and handsome, and he holds his own as CEO in the boardroom. In the streets, he is known as the boss in the snapback, but in the bedroom, he is nothing but a freak. When Monty’s first bid forces him to give up his one true love, he swears he will never risk his heart or love again. Now, he goes through life making his bedroom game as ruthless as his CEO game. Monty's good friend, Tee, is all woman; thick in all the right places, with brain and income to match, as she embraces her career managing a domestic shelter for her best friend. On the outside, she has it all together, but at night behind closed doors is when her demons take over. She wants what all women want - the perfect man- but she will not tolerate any man that doesn’t measure up to HER standards. When Monty is injured in a near death experience, as his friend, Tee makes a decision to give up her life to nurse him back to health. Three months of twenty-four/seven togetherness is rocked when they blur the lines of friendship. As Monty tries to keep his status quo as a ladies' man, he is thrown into the midst of Tee's "love me or leave me" drama. Then Monty’s world is rocked in more ways than one when a secret from his past threatens to destroy him personally and financially. What happens when Tee and Monty, these two likeminded, love hardened hearts, collide? Can Monty let go of his past hurt and let Tee help him in more ways than just the bedroom?
