Tried and True

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?
