Celeste Morgan is a forty-year-old redhead with a knockout body. Separated from her husband for five years, she began a new job as a nursing supervisor at Kansas City General Hospital. And she was just the right target for Officer Dan Russell, a charming, tall black police officer posted at the hospital, infamous for his womanizing ways. As Officer Dan Russell consistently pursued Celeste, a love affair that would shock American society began to blossom. From endless sexual affairs to every night phone calls, Celeste was definitely on Dans hook. But where will this infidelity lead Celeste and Dan? What will happen to Celestes marriage? Find out what happens next as this amazing love affair that spans decades and defies deeply rooted racial prejudices unfolds.

Writing my last #jb letter of the month, then sending mail to @AmyG @CoffeeNBooks and @MaGoose

After that, I‘m all caught up - if you‘ve written me this month and haven‘t heard back, shoot me an email 📧

I managed to write everyone in my stack last week, so I am caught up on all #jb letters I‘m aware of!

This week, I received letters from @TheBookHippie and @IndoorDame - thanks, friends! Will write back soon!

@AmyG and @JoScho - I keep thinking I heard from you and can‘t find a letter outside of my “responded” drawer... let me know if I owe you a note 📝

If anyone else wrote and got no reply, can you email? daria.z@gmail.com Thanks!

❤️📝 📚

AmyG You do....but no rush. i have alot of letters to write. I, too need to catch up! 5y
dariazeoli @AmyG Thanks! Now where did that card go? 🤔 5y
JoScho You are good. I have been so busy it has been forever since I have written a jb letter. 5y
AmyG Daria....I will check. Maybe I DO owe you a reply? Ha! How about, since I have to write so many notes.....I just write you one and we take it from there! 5y
dariazeoli @AmyG Works for me 😁 5y

Thank you sincerely to each one of you for taking time out of your busy schedule to drop me a line! You each are special to me! ❤️❤️😘😘😍

Several notes going out today! So sorry for my lack of participation in the last few weeks! Right after i was added to the group, my boss resigned and things got intense at work. It‘s interfering with all of my bookish fun - which is not making me happy! I love getting mail, though, and am so happy to be part of this group! #jb #justbecause
