About the author

Mary B. Morrison, New York Times best-selling author is the up and coming artist with a multiple book-to-film deal. Mary has seventeen published novels including her newest release, If I Can’t Have You.

She writes for Kensington Publishing Corporation as Mary B. Morrison and Grand Central Publishing as HoneyB. In her novels Mary addresses social and sexual issues while empowering her female characters.

“Women Rule,” that’s the way I see it. “Beside every great man there is a powerful woman. The same does not hold true for every successful woman. A lot of us are single because men want to wear the pants, even if they didn’t buy them.”

Jeff Clanagan, CEO of Codeblack Entertainment and filmmaker, Leslie Small, optioned the film rights to Mary B. Morrison’s popular Soulmates Dissipate series (which includes seven novels). Her first book, Soulmates Dissipate, is being developed for feature film in 2013.

Mary is an Executive Producer on her film deal and she was Executive Producer and playwright for her stage play Single Husbands (based on her novel under her pen name HoneyB).

On June 3, 2000, Mary withdrew her retirement to self-publish her debut novel, Soulmates Dissipate. Mary has also sponsored an anthology publishing 33 students entitled Diverse Stories: From the Imaginations of Sixth Graders.

Lift Every Voice and Write is Mary’s non-profit. The organization is established to help increase literacy and support students interested in pursuing writing as a career.

Born in Aurora, Illinois, and reared in New Orleans, Louisiana, Mary is the middle child of seven. She’s a graduate of McDonogh #35 High School in New Orleans and Berkeley Community College in Berkeley, California.

Her wonderful son, Jesse Byrd, Jr. is a 2010 graduate of U.C. Santa Barbara and producer on Mary’s film deal. Jesse has recently completed his first novel and owns a clothing business, OiseauChateau.com.

Mary currently resides in Oakland, California.

(FROM JACKET) "Money can't buy happiness." Fancy's heard that one before. And she still doesn't buy it-no matter how many times it's been proven in her own life. Take, for instance, her doomed relationship with wealthy Byron, or Harry, or Adam...and they're just for starters. But with Darius, things are going to be different. This time Fancy's going to get to know the man before she gets too intimate with him...then she'll get her share. Too bad she doesn't know Darius is no longer on top-financially, anyway.
As far as relationships go, Darius has a past of his own. Currently, he's praying that he isn't the father of estranged wife Ciara's expected baby-or anyone else's. Even if he were interested in fatherhood, he can't afford it. His wealthy parents have taken control of his business. With his bank accounts dwindling, Darius is forced to make some big changes....

This book was pretty good and filled with lots of surprises and the ending left me hanging on the edge of my seat and now I can't wait to start reading the next book, When Somebody Loves You Back. It seems that Darius and Fancy's relationship grew really fast, but I'm happy that they found each other. I was a little shocked by how Wellington treated Jada in this book and was totally not expecting for their relationship to get to the point that it did, but overall I was satisfied with this book and am ready to start the next one to find out what happens next.

its amazing how both Fancy and Darius met a psychic woman that told them about their future and what would happen. They both develop strong everlasting feelings for one another and is going to get married. Everything is going well for Fancy and Darius now that Darius is a professional NBA basketball player and got his company back from his stepfather. But Darius gets a disturbing call from his ex girlfriend that their baby died from HIV complications.

This book was good. I Liked the ending where they were chasing the criminal. It was very suspenseful and it was sad what happened to Noah. It felt like he was my best friend. I Still didn't like Nicole. She was too nosey and always worrying. I wish Justine had never died in teh first one. He was still obviously in love with Justine and no one could ever take her place.
