Prologue
Set in the South during the mid 1800s, Thandi’s Love explores the life of cotton plantation owner Tom Lexington. After a particularly generous yield, he asks his Aunt Lacey to send additional servants to help with the harvest. Tom is delighted that his good friends, Thandi and Isaac — the sibling servants he grew up with as a child — will be coming to stay. He welcomes them with open arms and has them stay in the mansions guestrooms.
However, his frightfully horrific wife Anna soon puts a stop to that, saying she will not have slaves staying in the house, which marks the beginning of her callous ways. Following a terrible row between Tom and Anna, Thandi and Tom find themselves alone in the beautifully kept gardens. Soon, tender moments lead to passionate lovemaking.
With suspicions mounting, Daniel Stafford, Anna’s father, instructs Tom to stay away from Thandi, or else. He also reminds Tom of the past deals struck between them, and that all the plantation’s slaves rightfully belong to him. Stafford takes Anna home for a break, and, in their absence, he sends his associate, Victor — who instantly takes a keen liking to Thandi — to keep an eye on affairs.
With news that his beloved Aunt is dying, Tom pays her a visit and learns a shocking piece of news. Slowly, the facts are revealed. Not only facts of the here and now, but also deep, dark secrets from the past...
Step back in time and take a journey through undeniable love, forever friendships, selfless sacrifices, and unforgettable breathtaking moments that will leave you yearning for more...
