About this eBook

Unlock the secrets in Reunion Gap

When the son of the man who lost everything falls in love with the daughter of the man who stole it all, there can only be heartache ahead. 

Readers who loved Mary Campisi’s bestselling Truth in Lies series, also known as the “A Family Affair” books, won’t want to miss Strangers Like Us, Book One in Mary’s new Reunion Gap series. It’s a tale of deception, secrets, forgiveness and redemption set in a small town.

Rogan Donovan gave up the glamour of big city life and returned home to help his family rebuild their lives after a smooth-talking stranger swindled his parents out of their life savings. But some things—like reputation and trust—can’t be rebuilt, and small towns never forget past offenses. 

When Elizabeth Hayes arrives in Reunion Gap, bent on helping the people her father cheated, Rogan opens his heart to her, unaware she’s the daughter of the man who destroyed his father’s life. Despite her good intentions, Elizabeth’s secret will be exposed creating heartache, resentment, and bitterness. 

Will forgiveness and redemption follow?

Ratings and reviews

Strangers Like Us is the 1st book in Mary Campisi’s new Reunion Gap series. This book takes place in Reunion Gap, a small town in the state of Pennsylvania, not unlike where Mary and her siblings grew up. If you like Mary Campisi’s Truth in Lies series, then you will love Reunion Gap! Some of the characters in Strangers Like Us intertwine with characters in Mary’s Truth in Lies series which makes for an even richer reading experience. The characters in Strangers Like Us feel like friends, someone you would sit down with and have a long conversation. Mary has a wonderful way of developing the characters as if they are sitting right next to you, telling you their story. Strangers Like Us is a love story at its core, continuing in the theme of love and forgiveness of Mary’s Truth in Lies series. Reunion Gap – Strangers Like Us features Elizabeth Hayes and Rogan Donovan, characters that are filled with a rich backstory that comes to light in the present. This town does not trust easily and due to past hurts are weary of strangers in their midst. Elizabeth is new in town with a secret agenda and Rogan catches her eye even though this was not part of her plan. Add in a generations old feud between the two most prominent families in Reunion Gap, the Alexanders and the Donovans and watch the sparks fly. The question is, will Elizabeth’s true intentions come to light? And if they do, who will be hurt in the process? You must read to find out!!! If you enjoy Strangers Like Us, book two Liars Like Us and book three Lovers Like Us in the Reunion Gap series are in process to continue the story of those you met in Strangers Like Us. Check out Mary’s Truth in Lies and That Second Chance series as well for more great reading and wonderful characters. Strangers Like Us ends with a real cliff hanger and I cannot wait to see what is revealed in the second book. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

Very interesting story. A woman’s father had swindled the people of a town. The swindler’s daughter is Elizabeth and she wants to right the wrong and she comes to the town. There she meets Rogan. The story progresses from there about the relationship between Elizabeth and Rogan. The story is not just a romance between the main characters. How it moves on weaving the lives of most of the people in the town was enjoyable. The story dealt with various other themes like love, understanding and forgiveness. Overall, a very satisfying a read.

Absolutely terrible book. A girl that can count the petals on a rose and you can fight aging with moisturizer and movement. SO DUMB

About the author

Mary Campisi writes emotion-packed books about second chances. Whether contemporary romances, women's fiction, or Regency historicals, her books all center on belief in the beauty of that second chance. Her small town romances center around family life, friendship, and forgiveness as they explore the issues of today’s contemporary women.

Mary should have known she'd become a writer when at age thirteen she began changing the ending to all 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 mix, Cooper, or, on the perfect day, riding off into the sunset with her very own hero/husband on his Harley Ultra Limited.
