Book Description
Heartache. Betrayal. Forgiveness. Redemption... Real families aren’t always the ones you know about… A Family Affair Boxed Set 4, Books 10-12, 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. This boxed set includes A Family Affair: The Gift, A Family Affair: The Weddings, and A Family Affair: The Cabin. A FAMILY AFFAIR: THE GIFT Only one thing is missing from Tess and Daniel “Cash” Casherdon’s perfect life—a child. Oh, how they long for one to make their life complete. But what is it people say about being careful what you wish for…? Their wish will come true, but not in the way they think. Daniel Casherdon’s past is about to catch up with him. It’s bad enough when a woman arrives in Magdalena with a nine-year-old boy she claims is his, but confessing to a terminal illness and asking Tess and Cash to raise the boy when she’s gone? Well, that’s going to require a big leap of faith that won’t be easy or without repercussions. How can anyone refuse a dying mother such a heartbreaking request? Tess is torn between doing right by the child and acknowledging that another woman has given the man she loves something she may never be able to—a child. As the woman pulls Cash closer into her emotional circle, it is Tess who becomes the outsider, and soon she wonders if the woman has secrets she’s not telling. More than one resident is suspicious of anyone who drives a wedge between one of Magdalena’s favorite couples. The newcomer may look and act like the girl next door, but something isn’t right, and Pop Benito is going to gather ammunition and find out what that something is. But he’d better do it fast, before it’s too late. A FAMILY AFFAIR: THE WEDDINGS What’s more charming than a Christmas wedding? How about two Christmas weddings? Join us as we head back to Magdalena in this holiday novella and witness two couples head down the road of happily-ever-after. But don’t expect that road to be nice and smooth. Is anything worthwhile ever easy? Still, I’m betting on this town to help these couples through the rough patches and a good amount of snow to get to their happily-ever-after. So, are you wondering who these couples might be? There are quite a few possibilities, but I’ve decided to give you the true gift of a good surprise! A FAMILY AFFAIR: THE CABIN He’s lost his fortune… She’s nursing a broken heart…When fate steps in, will love prevail? Pete Finnegan had it all—money, power, status, a future wife, until he lost it all in one huge financial “gamble.” Now he’s back in his hometown of Magdalena, trying to figure out what to do with his life. When Nate Desantro offers him a job fixing up a cabin one hundred miles away, he jumps at the opportunity. Peace and solitude in the woods away from busybodies and do-gooders is exactly what he needs to contemplate his future. But Pete doesn’t expect to find a beautiful woman staying at the cabin. Elissa Cerdi has escaped to the Blacksworth cabin to heal her broken heart. As Gloria Blacksworth’s former caregiver, she’s agreed to honor the dead woman’s last request by mailing letters to select residents of Magdalena. When Elissa meets Pete, she doesn’t know he has ties to Magdalena, and she certainly doesn’t know the final letter she plans to mail is about his father. Pete and Elissa are both in need of healing and maybe that’s why they agree to shut down the outside world and pretend nothing exists but what’s inside the cabin. Could that also be why they’re able to open up to one another, talk about disappointments, hurts, betrayals, and hopes? Because it’s all pretend? Is that why passion consumes them, burns them with a need they’ve never felt before? Is it so powerful because it isn’t real? Except it is. When Pete uncovers the truth about Elissa’s part in Gloria Blacksworth’s cruel scheme for vengeance, he feels betrayed and questions everything that happened in the cabin. As weeks pass and the couple forge separate lives, Pete must decide if he can open his heart once again to forgiveness and love.

Book Description
I love reading bonus scenes or watching bonus clips on television. If someone told me I could read about or watch Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet get married, I would be beyond excited. Imagination is great, but there are times when I don’t want to imagine or guess—I want to know! I even want to know when storylines change and what might have been... That’s why I’m providing bonus scenes and extras from several of the A Family Affair books. I loved writing these scenes and now I want to share them with you. Enjoy! Nate & Christine’s Wedding - A Family Affair Wouldn't you like to know what Nate Desantro was thinking right before he married Christine? For a man of few words, there was a lot going on in his head. And how about discovering Harry Blacksworth’s thoughts as he prepares to give Christine away? That’s definitely one you won’t want to miss. Lily is still one of my favorites and she’ll warm your heart with her innocent and yet spot-on observations about the wedding, life, and love in Magdalena. Always a Heartbeat Away - A Family Affair: Summer I started A Family Affair: Summer several times as I tried to get a feel for Tess and her backstory. I knew it would involve heartache, just as I knew that deep down, she still loved Cash. But the rest? I wanted to find a way to take her as far from the life she thought she’d have as possible. Initially, that involved a calm, quiet man and a dog named Henry. That storyline changed and I decided not to use it, but it's a great bonus scene to let you see the possibilities, maybe even wonder how the story might have been different. Who is Sasha Rishkov? - A Family Affair: The Secret What if Angie Sorrento’s father turns up in Magdalena to visit his daughter and risks running into the only woman he’s ever loved, Angie’s mother, the one she thought died years ago? He’ll come so close to discovering the truth... The Future Godfather - A Family Affair: The Wish This is a conversation you won’t want to miss! Pop tells Harry that when the time comes, Harry will be the new Godfather of Magdalena, and he’ll make a darn good one. Of course, Harry doesn’t agree... When Harry meets Stephanie - A Family Affair: The Gift Harry Blacksworth is nobody’s fool and while he might once have been the playboy-good-for-nothing younger brother of Charles, he's come into his own as a well-respected and generous member of Magdalena’s community. When Cash and Tess hit a roadblock named Stephanie Richmond, Harry's not going to let anything jeopardize their happiness. Don't miss When Harry Meets Stephanie and read firsthand how he deals with the woman who thinks she can leverage a child to gain security. The Real Stephanie Richmond - A Family Affair: The Gift And because first drafts and ideas change, I'm including a scene I once considered using for the storyline. In this version, Stephanie isn’t as soft and guileless as she appears in the final version of the book, but straightforward and intent on letting Cash know exactly what she wants. While I like the final outcome, this is still an interesting read and portrays Stephanie Richmond’s true personality. Who’s in the Cabin? - A Family Affair: The Cabin Nate and Christine Desantro head to the cabin one last time before they sell it and discover an uninvited guest! Elissa Cerdi has snuck away to the Blacksworths’ cabin for quiet and a chance to consider her future with or without a controlling ex-boyfriend. Her innocent and trusting ways prevent her from seeing that she’s put herself in danger by choosing a secluded cabin. Of course, Nate and Christine aren’t about to risk her safety, even if she was Gloria Blacksworth’s friend and confidante!

Book Description
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?

Book Description
He’s not who he says he is…but neither is she Neal Alexander has a reputation as a heartbreaker and a troublemaker who uses his trust fund, good looks, and come-closer glances to get what he wants. Except that’s not who he is—not anymore. He’s found success and purpose in the business world but prefers to let everyone, including his family, believe he’s still the reckless, self-absorbed playboy he used to be. Why share the truth and open himself up to judgment, criticism, and “never good enough”? Life is easier and less complicated this way, but living a lie has its own brand of torment. That torment comes straight at him when Rachel Reese, a regretful high school memory he wishes he could forget, lands in the same city. Rachel just wants to make her own choices and follow her passion for interior design. She’s not giving up on her career dream, even if she’s made a few missteps along the way. Wrong friends, lousy boyfriends, dead-end jobs. But this time, in this city, it’s going to be different, and if she has to fabricate a bit for a career opportunity, well, is that so horrible? Nothing is going to derail her, especially not a smooth-talking disaster from her past like Neal Alexander. It’s going to be difficult to keep the lies straight, the truth hidden, and the emotions from flaring, especially when the attraction between Neal and Rachel is so unwelcome. Can they trust each other enough to open up and share their true selves for a chance at real happiness? BONUS: Included in this e-book is an Excerpt from Pulling Home, That Second Chance series, Book Two. They promised to love one another forever, but tragedy tore them apart. Now, destiny may just bring them back together.
