About The Book

Pat Tucker introduces Lachez in this short story prequel to Daddy by Default—and reveals why she scams to make ends meet.

Things aren’t looking good for Lachez, a cash-strapped mother who doesn’t know how to survive without a man and his money. She decides to make some extra cash by joining a ring of thieves who return stolen clothes to high-end stores for cash. Lachez is on top of the world until they slap the handcuffs on her wrists.

In this hilarious teaser and prequel to Daddy by Default, readers learn why Lachez resorted to paternity/child support fraud to make ends meet.
