Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when destiny ignores the rules? Gina Servetti was raised to believe she wasn’t enough—not thin enough, not pretty enough, not clever enough. She’s more comfortable with a spreadsheet than a conversation and doesn’t trust easily, especially where men are concerned, most notably the good-looking, smooth-talking ones like Ben Reed. When city boy Ben Reed arrives in Magdalena, he’s not planning a long-term stay in a town filled with too many busybodies and too little excitement. He just needs things to settle down in Philly for a few months before he returns to his old life and his plan to win back his ex-wife. But once he gets to know the people in this town, he starts to care about them: one in particular—Gina Servetti. The longer he’s around her, the more he realizes she’s so much more than a woman with a scowl and a sharp tongue. She’s real and honest, and as afraid of trusting as he is. Can Ben and Gina open up and take a risk for a chance at real love? See you in Magdalena!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heartache. Betrayal. Forgiveness. Redemption. Real families aren’t always the ones you know about… A Family Affair Boxed Set 2, Books 4–6, 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 intentions…at 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. A Family Affair: Fall Heartache. Betrayal. Forgiveness. Redemption. It’s time to head back to Magdalena, New York, and spend a little time with the people we love to love and even a few we love to hate. Gina Servetti was raised to believe she wasn’t enough—not thin enough, not pretty enough, not clever enough. She’s more comfortable with a spreadsheet than a conversation and doesn’t trust easily, especially where men are concerned, most notably the good-looking, smooth-talking ones like Ben Reed. When city boy Ben Reed arrives in Magdalena, he’s not planning a long-term stay in a town filled with too many busybodies and too little excitement. He just needs things to settle down in Philly for a few months before he returns to his old life and his plan to win back his ex-wife. But once he gets to know the people in this town, he starts to care about them: one in particular—Gina Servetti. The longer he’s around her, the more he realizes she’s so much more than a woman with a scowl and a sharp tongue. She’s real and honest, and as afraid of trusting as he is. But can Ben and Gina open up and take a risk for a chance at real love? Well, if the rest of the town has anything to say about it, and they always do, this couple will take the big leap and end with an “I do”! A Family Affair: Christmas It’s time to head back to Magdalena in this holiday novella… The town is preparing to celebrate the holidays when a snowstorm hits and threatens to ruin the festivities. But that’s not the only threat blowing into town…Pop’s son is here from California to enjoy Christmas with his father, but when he leaves, he’s taking Pop with him…or is he? Will the town give up the Godfather of Magdalena, or will they show Pop’s son that when we open our hearts, anything is possible…even second chances? A Family Affair: Winter They should have been married and working on their “happily ever after” but fate intervened and stole their chance. Can the residents of Magdalena help them get it back and give them a second chance? On the day Michael Androvich stands at the altar before family, friends, and most of the town of Restalline, Pennsylvania, he’s prepared to pledge his life, love, and fidelity to the woman who owns his heart. There’s only one thing missing—the bride. Elise Pentani loves Michael Androvich truly and completely, but there’s a tiny piece of her that believes he’ll fall back into his “bad boy” ways. When a threat from his past visits her, Elise lets doubt rule and skips her own wedding. Nursing a broken heart and determined to forget the woman he can’t forget, Michael heads to Magdalena, New York to secure a business deal for his family’s lumber company. He’s not prepared for the endless questions and inquisitive nature of the residents who remind him an awful lot of his hometown. Just when Michael has gotten the town to accept the fact that he’s not talking about his past or the reason for his surly disposition, his ex-fiancée shows up with an apology he doesn’t want to hear and certainly doesn’t want to believe. But there’s no way the residents of Magdalena can ignore these two broken-hearted souls. Michael and Elise have “need help” and “belong together” stamped all over their sad faces. Add that to Pop Benito’s determined matchmaking skills and Lily Desantro’s clever curiosity, and this couple might just get that second chance… Truth in Lies Series Book One: A Family Affair Book Two: A Family Affair: Spring Book Three: A Family Affair: Summer Book Four: A Family Affair: Fall Book Five: A Family Affair: Christmas Book Six: A Family Affair: Winter Book Seven: A Family Affair: The Promise Book Eight: A Family Affair: The Secret Book Nine: A Family Affair: The Wish Book Ten: A Family Affair: The Gift Book Eleven: A Family Affair: The Weddings, a novella Book Twelve: A Family Affair: The Cabin, a novella Book Thirteen: A Family Affair: The Return Book Fourteen: A Family Affair: The Choice Book Fifteen: A Family Affair: The Proposal A Family Affair Boxed Set:Books 1-3 A Family Affair Boxed Set 2: Books 4-6 Meals From Magdalena: A Family Affair Cookbook NEW: Park Bench series: What happened before A Family Affairbegan?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was the last person he wanted to fall for, but now she’s the only one he wants. People called Meredith Alexander a high-society do-gooder with a penchant for trusting the wrong people—especially men. Some said the failing had to do with her tyrant father who valued money and power over love and kindness toward his only daughter. Meredith spent years searching for the elusive “something” that would give her life meaning, but all she found were dead-end jobs, false starts, empty relationships, and wrong choices. When she decides to ditch her designer lifestyle and settle in Chicago, a routine trip to the grocery store prompts the creation of a company for struggling entrepreneurs—and gives her life meaning. Eight months later, Meredith once again experiences a random life-changing encounter when former Reunion Gap resident Daniel Reese walks into a café. What are the odds that two people from the same small town would both land in Chicago at the same café? Or that he’d be a woodworker looking for a big break and she’d own a company that helped entrepreneurs? He seems more interested in her than her support, and there’s no denying the white-hot attraction that has him calling their meeting destiny. Except it isn’t. It’s all been orchestrated in Daniel’s attempt to save his father from the blackmail scheme he’s been caught up in by the most ruthless man in Reunion Gap—Meredith’s father. Daniel will have to pretend he’s a wannabe woodworker low on cash and not the anonymous artist behind the famous woodturning company that’s gained national recognition. And he’ll have to find a way to lure Meredith back to Reunion Gap for a “meeting” with her father. Then he can come clean and hope she forgives him. But it’s not going to be that easy... Once Meredith learns about the real Daniel Reese and how he’s played her, only forgiveness, true love, and destiny will bring them back together...

The war in Europe is over, and America’s fighting men are coming home. Lieutenant Pat Montague spent the war dreaming of a return to his beloved: society princess Helen Abbott. But when Uncle Sam finally lets him go, Pat finds that Helen has become Mrs. Huntley Cairns, and he has nothing to return to at all. He goes to see Helen at the Cairns mansion, only to stumble upon his rival’s murdered corpse. The jealous soldier is the obvious suspect, but Pat’s friends know he is innocent, and entreat Hildegarde Withers—elementary school teacher and talented sleuth—to clear his name. Huntley was rumored to be involved in the black market, and Miss Withers soon discovers his killer was far more sinister than a soldier with a grudge.

Download or read book A Family Affair The Invitation written by Mary Campisi and published by Mary Campisi Books, LLC. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leah Darlington believes in safe and practical. At forty-one, she doesn’t subscribe to taking risks—in life or in love. She did that once years ago and ended up a single mother. Not happening again, and that’s why she’s decided it’s better to be the friend, sister, daughter, and mother who cheers others on, lends a hand or shoulder, and encourages people to never give up. But the whole risk-avoidance strategy she’s employed for herself changes when a stranger ventures into Magdalena. Mitchell Stafford captivates her with his cultured voice, commonsense logic, and love of nature, cooking, and easy conversation. Leah doesn’t want to believe she’s found a kindred spirit, much less a soulmate in Mitch, but what else could it be? Mitch Stafford is in Magdalena to honor his friend’s dying wish, one that includes Leah Darlington. For a no-nonsense architect more comfortable with designs than emotion, he doesn’t expect the spark of attraction when he meets the beautiful, down-to-earth woman with the engaging smile. But it’s there and the longer he’s around her, the more difficult it is to ignore or deny. So how is he going to honor his best friend’s dying wish without betraying the woman who might just own his heart?
