She had visions of having a family and becoming very successful one day. Most of her dreams came true and she had a beautiful beginning; marriage to her childhood sweetheart Billy Matthews, and soon after, started a family. Lynnette's fairytale life came crashing down and left her feeling adrift and lonely. Lynnette reconnects with a friend from her childhood at one of the loneliest points in her life. Steven Montgomery had gone from the school nerd to a hot, sexy lawyer whom Lynnette could hardly recognize. Their friendship blossomed into much more. Her beauty overpowered him; his sensuality made her tingle with desire. Both of them feared the blazes of desire that flared so hotly between them. Will two old friends allow their chance at happiness to slip away? Not if they reach out to each other, give in to their desires, and let love bind their hearts and join their souls. Their lives could be changed forever.. BY A THING CALLED LOVE. [close]

Lynnette Thomas is a young, ambitious woman who must choose between her first love turned abusive and an old friendship that develops into a passionate romance.
Lynnette is a beautiful and passionate young woman from Atlanta who has firm plans for her life. She dreamed about marrying her childhood sweetheart, Billy Matthews, launching a career in business administration and raising a family. Lynnette’s plans start out well as she and Billy get married and move to Charleston, S.C., to begin their life together. They are the perfect couple for a while, until Billy becomes extremely possessive and demanding of Lynnette. He starts using drugs, alienates her from her friends and ambitions and emotionally and physically abuses her.
Billy ends up abandoning Lynnette while she is pregnant, leaving her feeling ashamed, hurt and alone. At her lowest point a long-lost childhood friend, Steve Montgomery, re-enters her life. Steve was a nerd in high school who loved Lynnette from afar, but is now a dashing, successful lawyer and sweeps Lynnette off her feet in a dazzling romance. Though both Steve and Lynnette are a little frightened by the new, unfamiliar feelings between them, they join together in a happy marriage. Their new life together flourishes until Billy resurfaces after a 10 year absence looking for a fresh start with Lynnette. Lynnette must decide whether to continue her life with Steve or give her first love a second chance.
Anyone who has ever felt the heartbreak and trials that love can bring, especially those who have experienced abusive or controlling relationships, will relate to Lynnette’s journey to find true love within herself. It also gives readers hope that they can bring their lives around from the brink of devastation and despair if they have the desire to help themselves.
When I wrote this book, it was a way for me to share some of my past experiences with others who or being abused or have been abused. Writing this book was my way of reaching out to them and hopefully encourage them to want better for themselves. I want to get it out there to the readers and/or abuse victims and try to reassure them that they are worthy of being helped and loved. This help can come from family and friends or professionally if the need be. I am speaking from experience as being a former abuse victim; I am a SURVIVOR. My strong faith in God and my family helped me to find my way back from that dark and lonely place. I am thankful and truly blessed. My past experience has taught me that, “LOVE SHOULDN’T HURT”.
