Real families arenโt always the ones you know aboutโฆ
A Family Affair Boxed Set 3, Books 7-9, is about so much more than a secret family. Set in the small town of Magdalena, New York, the people have big hearts and good intentionsโฆat least most of them do! Magdalena is a place of family, forgiveness, redemption, and second chances. And hope. Lots of hope. This town, and the people in it are about helping others get through the tough times and broken dreams, and doing it with the help of family, friends, sometimes even strangers.ย
A Family Affair: The Promise
Grant Richot sprinted through life, a boy wonder with talent, intelligence, confidence, and charm. He never doubted the world awaited him, just as he never doubted the right woman would come into his lifeโbut only when he was ready for her. Anyone before that was simply preparation for the one. How wrong he was.
Years and a tragedy later, Grant arrives in Maggie Finneganโs hometown of Magdalena, New Yorkโbroken, uncertain, and searching for that second chance with the woman he cast aside. But Maggieโs no longer naรฏve and impressionable; sheโs a confident, competent widow with a child, who has more at risk than another broken heart. Can Grant convince her to take another chance on him and the future they could share?
A Family Affair: The Secret
Roman Ventori isnโt looking for a wife. Heโs had one of those and it ended badly. Heโs come back to Magdalena out of duty, not love for the town that drove him away with rumors and judgments.ย
Angie Sorrento is in Magdalena to do a job, not find a husband. She almost had one of those, until he dumped her three days before the wedding.ย
Romanโs father has health problems and his last wish is to see his son settled with a wife, a child, and a second chance at happiness that doesnโt include city life and flashy women. It wonโt be easy or even possible without the help of his old friend, Angelo โPopโ Benito. Dubbed the Godfather of Magdalena, Popโs the wiliest matchmaker in the Catskills, and heโll need all of his talents to help Roman and Angie realize theyโre worth the risk for a happily-ever-after.
A Family Affair: The Wish
Bree Kinkaid is finally going to get a chance at happily-ever-after, but it's not going to be quick or easy. You won't want to miss the fireworks as one of Magdalena's favorites meets Mr. West Coast. Should I mention he's handsome, intelligent, wealthy, and an all-around good guy? (Oh, but he has a broken heart...forgot about that.) Guess that makes him a wounded hero in need of a second chance, and we all know Magdalena's just the place for second chances.
And I know many of you have no time or patience for the โbad girlโ of Magdalena, Natalie Servetti. Sheโs done her share of wrong and worse than wrong, but sheโs trying to right her past misdeeds. When she meets a man who might just give her the love and life sheโs always wanted, will her past destroy that chance or will love indeed conquer all?
Mary Campisi is the bestselling author of 50 emotion-packed, romantic womenโs fiction novels that center around hope, redemption, and second chances. Set in small towns, these books take readers through the lives of the characters as they encounter, misfortune, disappointment, and challenges to find hope, friendship and, in some cases, love. Growing up in a small town gives Mary a real sense of how people pull together to help others find their true destiny. Her stories will make you laugh and cry, but in the end, youโll feel like you want to live in these towns, meet the residents for coffee or share a meal.
Maryโs Truth in Lies series, also known as the A Family Affair books, takes place in the Catskill Mountains and centers around the discovery of a manโs secret family that prompts the question, Which family is the real one? The continued success of this series is driven by readers wanting more and sheโs created an equally compelling one with the Reunion Gap series.
Mary should have known sheโd become a writer when at age thirteen she began changing the ending to all of the books she read. It took several years and a number of jobs, including registered nurse, receptionist in a swanky hair salon, accounts payable clerk, and practice manager in an OB/GYN office, for her to rediscover writing. Enter a mouse-less computer, a floppy disk, and a dream large enough to fill a zip drive. The rest of the story lives on in every book she writes.
When sheโs not working on her craft or following the lives of five adult children, Maryโs digging in the dirt with her flowers and herbs, cooking, reading, walking her rescue lab, Henry, or, on the perfect day, riding off into the sunset with her very own hero/husband on his Ultra Limited aka Harley.
