Book Description
Romance and women’s fiction author, Mary Campisi, brings readers Love and Betrayal, Regency Style in An Unlikely Husband Boxed Set, Books 1-4. This regency historical romance includes: Book One: A Taste of Seduction (Francie & Alexander’s story) Book Two: A Touch of Seduction: a novella (Ariana & Jason’s story) Book Three: A Scent of Seduction (Julia & Jon’s story) Book Four: A Breath of Seduction (Sophie & Holt’s story) BONUS: Included with this e-book is an excerpt from A Dash of Seduction, Book 5 in this series. A Taste of Seduction A young woman of noble blood, raised as a peasant girl… An orphaned stable boy, now grown and the surrogate son of a powerful earl—the same earl who just so happens to be the young woman’s father… Francie Jordan and Alexander Bishop have nothing in common—she runs barefoot and talks to animals. He won’t loosen his cravat unless the bedroom door is firmly closed. She believes in love, second chances, and happily ever after. He believes in keeping a safe distance from anything that resembles an emotion. Indeed, they have nothing in common but an undeniable desire for one another they can’t ignore, and an ailing “father” who will employ any means to bring them together. Unfortunately, not everyone wishes to see a union between Francie and Alexander, and they will stop at nothing to keep this couple apart. A Touch of Seduction Jason Langford fell in love with Ariana Kendrick the first time he saw her. It didn’t matter that she was but a vicar’s daughter and he was the second son of an earl. Nothing mattered but their love and the future they planned as husband and wife. But those dreams were torn apart one fall afternoon—swiftly, painfully, tragically. Nine years later, Jason and Ariana will meet again. They’ll be caught in a tangle of lies, deceit, and intrigue. Where has she been all these years, when Jason thought her dead? Why is she using a name other than her own? Is she truly a widow? When she and her son are rescued walking along a road, why does she have no traveling cases? No carriage? Not even a coat? And the boy she insists is not his son? Is that yet another lie? It will take great effort to untangle the truth from the lies, but Jason is determined to learn what really happened to the woman he loved, the one he could never forget…and never stopped loving… A Scent of Seduction English noblewoman, Julia Langford wants nothing more than to escape the constraints of a society that demands she turn in her breeches and secure a husband. She cares nothing about men or love until she encounters daring sea captain, Jon Remmington, a man who steals her heart and her innocence with searing kisses and bold touches. Jon Remmington sails the sea avoiding anything that resembles commitment—until he meets the golden-haired temptress with a will to match his own. One night of passion binds them together, but a debt of honor forces Jon to abandon his bride. When he discovers Julia is caught in a dangerous game of intrigue, Jon devises a secret plan to return to her side where he will risk his life to protect her and earn the chance to rekindle the greatest love either has ever known. A Breath of Seduction Readers who have followed the An Unlikely Husband series have only seen Holt Langford and his wife, Sophie, as the model couple: married, in love, sharing their hearts and dreams. However, there was a time when they didn’t share much of anything...and certainly not plans for a life together. You won’t want to miss this tale of scandal and seduction as the Earl of Westover falls for the daughter of his family’s sworn enemy. It's going to be a hard fall, fraught with denial, hurt, and revenge, yet the ultimate gift will be love, hope, and enough dreams to fill an earldom. A Breath of Seduction was previously published as The Seduction of Sophie Seacrest. When Holt Langford, the new Earl of Westover, returns to England after twelve years at sea, he resembles more pirate than nobleman, a far cry from the scrawny youth whose father shipped off to become a man. No one recognizes him, and he’ll use this anonymity to enter a game of subterfuge in order to expose the scoundrel who has vowed to destroy Holt’s family business. Unfortunately, that scoundrel has a devoted daughter, Sophie Seacrest. Sophie can’t deny her attraction to the unorthodox stranger who stirs her blood and makes her think things no proper lady should. Holt and Sophie are drawn into a seductive tangle and just when he’s about to reveal his true identity and his honorable intentions, she discovers the truth and must choose between love and family duty.

Wealthy, privileged, the product of too much money and too little responsibility, Ash Lancaster routinely pretends he's someone else so he'll be valued for more than his bank accounts.

Fate forces Ash to perform the first selfless act of his life to protect Arianna from being blackmailed about her past. The price? He must walk away and forget about her. Two years later, the threat is gone and Ash returns, determined to win back the woman he's never forgotten and even more determined to get her to admit what she's been hiding.

Book Description
Unlikely couples, matchmakers, and moral dilemmas are the heart of the Best Intention series, a collection of novellas set in a business environment where negotiations and deals turn personal… The Sweetest Deal is Book One in this series. Ian Woodford is about to close the most important business transaction of his life and realize his father’s dream—all he has to do is agree to one request: give the man who’s controlling the deal a grandchild. The proposition is every level of wrong, but an arrangement like this would honor his father’s memory, and while Ian can never replace the child he lost, it would give him an opportunity for another child, this time without the encumbrance of a wife. But the more time he spends with C.C., the more he realizes he wants her for more than a way to get a deal and a child… C.C. aka Catherine Crowell gave up on dreams of a family after Mr. Worse-Than-Wrong broke her heart. Hiding behind spreadsheets, and oversized suits, she’s determined to show her business-mogul father she’s capable of taking over his company and won’t be fooled by smooth talking liars again. Her work has become her life, and while she’d love a child, that’s not going to happen. When Ian Woodford, the company’s newest business partner, shows interest in her, C.C.’s more than a little suspicious, and determined to find out if his intentions are real, and what she plans to do about it if they are…or aren’t. It’s going to get messy and once the truth come out, as it always does, it’s going to take more than one matchmaker to get the sweetest deal. BONUS: Included with this ebook is the first chapter of Strangers Like Us, Book 1 of the Reunion Gap series.

Book Description
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... Reunion Gap series: Book One: Strangers Like Us Book Two: Liars Like Us Book Three: Lovers Like Us Book Four: Couples Like Us Book Five: Guilty Like Us Book Six: Pretenders Like Us BONUS: Included in this e-book is the first chapter of A Family Affair, a small town family saga… When Christine Blacksworth’s larger-than-life father is killed on an icy road in Magdalena, New York, a hundred miles from the “getaway” cabin he visited every month, she discovers a secret that threatens everything she’s always held to be true. Her father has another family that includes a mistress and a daughter.

A common theme: belief in the beauty of that second chance. Not Your Everyday Housewife is Book Five of That Second Chance Series. A wise and humorous tale of living large after 40 as women finally make peace with themselves—wrinkles, blubber, neuroses, exes, and all. Three women embark on a month-long “discovery” journey and uncover quite a few tidbits along the way…one bottle of Clairol Midnight will not cover a full head of red hair, and never talk to men wearing polyester pants hiked up with a tan belt.

The center of controversy is a Maid-for-You mixer, which symbolizes a boring, routine suburban life with no second chances—then along comes insight in the form of Tula Rae, a sixty-something salsa-dancing, Dalai Lama-quoting, four-time widow in Spandex and a gray braid who gives them a different perspective on life, love, do-overs, and the real reason a man buys his woman a Maid-for-You mixer, which she says is all about S-E-X.
