When Victor's wife is thrown in jail Dalenna happily agrees to help Victor sighting her loyalty as the reason and not confessing to her secret crush on him.

Forgetting that one-day his wife will be home.

About the author

Carey Anderson was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she currently resides. Carey comes from a large family, which is often reflected in the world she created with multiple multi-dimensional characters. Her current passion is African American Romantic Fiction; one day she will add romantic suspense, and children’s books to her resume.
Carey began the Wallace Family Saga as a doodle on her cell phone. Within five years that doodle turned into a complete sixteen book series (most of which can be read as standalone books). The series spans over fifty years into the lives of the Wallace and Latour family story that came to a climatic end when the finale was released in February 2018.
During this time Carey also managed to write a couple of true standalones to provide new readers with a sample of her writing style. Especially for the reader who doesn’t have the time to invest in her saga right away.
Carey would like to thank you for taking the time to get to know her better. Hopefully you’ve found a character within Carey’s world that resonates with you so much that you may actually feel she somehow wrote about you or someone you know.

I love Victor

Ok, so I can admit Dalenna was determined from the time she laid eyes on Victor she was in love with him. Victor TRIED to stay away, but sometimes even the young girls know how to get older men. This story was a lesson in love. Love assumed, love misguided, love lost and true love gained. AMAZING Carey.
