Take Her Man 

New York City ‘It Girl’ Troy Smith thought she’d have her ring by spring. But there’s been a change in plans. . .


Troy is a beautiful, successful black woman who’s convinced her boyfriend, Dr. Julian James, is the man of her dreams–until he says he wants a break. Brokenhearted and confused, Troy knows there’s only one thing to do: get her girls to throw her an official 3T Break Up Party! Established during their days at Hampton University, the break up party was how Troy, Tamia, and Tasha–‘The 3Ts’–survived the drama of relationship bust-ups. Now it’s Troy’s turn to step out and party again. There’s just one problem: Julian’s stepping out too. . .with a new sister on his arm. So it’s time to get down and dirty and put the 3T Take-Her-Man plan into action. No matter how long it takes, she is going to win back her man.


A devilishly entertaining novel,
Take Her Man also includes rules, regulations, and recipes for becoming a real life ‘It Girl’. . .
