A Family Affair: The Journey
About this ebook
face the truth...
Fourteen years is a long time to pretend someone doesn’t exist,
especially if that person is responsible for crushing your heart. But
pretending in a small town where everyone knows your backstory
—or thinks they do? Impossible.
Beckett Durrell isn’t the same lovestruck fool he’d been all
those years ago when he’d believed in destiny and ever-after. At
thirty-five, he’s not interested in meant-to-be or long-term, though
he almost made it to the altar eleven months ago. But he couldn’t
spit out the “I do” and refuses to think it’s because of her, the
woman he’s never forgotten.
Katrina Carlisle knew she married the wrong man long before
she discovered his first affair. She’d been too heartbroken after the
breakup with Beck Durrell to notice the new man’s slick words, or
the fact that his mother seemed more interested in her than he was.
After a disastrous marriage, she’s now divorced with two small
children, working a low-paying job, living in a tiny rental, and
wondering how her life had gone so wrong.
When destiny orchestrates a plan for Beck and Katrina to cross paths, there’s no pretending the attraction isn’t there. But the
distrust? The fear of getting hurt again? That’s definitely there, too,
and it’s going to take a lot more than simple attraction to get
past it.
Can Beck and Katrina trust each other enough to open their
hearts for a second chance at happily-ever-after?

About the author
Mary Campisi is the bestselling author of over 40 emotion-packed, romantic women’s 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, you’ll feel like you want to live in these towns, meet the residents for coffee or share a meal.
Mary’s 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 man’s 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 she’s created an equally compelling one with the Reunion Gap series.
Mary should have known she’d 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 she’s not working on her craft or following the lives of five adult children, Mary’s 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.
