Tried and True — Will Their Relationship Survive Being Tested?

Anise Crystal is nobody’s fool. She’s been through the highs and heartbreaks of love, marriage, and motherhood—and she wears the emotional scars to prove it. So when Duke Jones, better known as DJ Duke, steps into her life with his easy charm and unwavering devotion, Anise finds herself torn. Duke isn’t like the others—he’s patient, steady, and ready for forever. But Anise has already lived that life, and she’s not sure she’s willing to do it all over again.

Duke knows Anise is worth the wait. He sees her strength, her fire, and the softness she keeps guarded. He wants it all—the house, the ring, the midnight baby feedings—with her. But love alone may not be enough.

Now, they must decide: Can they build a future in spite of the past? Or will fear and timing steal away the one thing they’ve both been searching for—a love that’s tried and true?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Where is my book?

Once you purchase a book from me, you will get an email from help@bookfunnel.com with a link to download the book. If you can’t find the email with your book download in your inbox, here are some tips:

  • Check your spam/junk box.  Sometimes overzealous spam filters get in the way and deliver the email there instead of your inbox.
  • If you paid with PayPal and your PayPal email address is different from the email you normally use, the book may be delivered to the email associated with your PayPal.
  • If you still don’t see it, email brenalbar@gmail.com I will help you get your download link! 

If I buy an ebook or audiobook, how do I read it? Or get it to my favorite device?

How does it help authors if I buy direct?

If you buy direct, we get paid within hours or days, rather than months — which helps us create more books.

We can also email you to tell you about other books you might enjoy.

While authors love the big stores and you can find our books there too, it's becoming pretty crowded on those sales pages! Our direct stores allow us to feature our products without having other products competing against them. 

I have a problem with my order. Do you offer returns?

It's important to me that you are happy with your order. If you have a problem or an issue, please contact me and I will get it sorted.

In what order should I read your books?

Most of my books are written so that they can be read as stand-alone stories, even if they are in a series. If you'd like to read in order, you can find a list here.
