Moments of You: Part 1
Annie Burnes believes in love, family, and happily-ever-after. For someone whose mother disappeared when she was a child, sheâs determined to fulfill this dream. Too bad the man she married didnât feel the same way. At thirty-two, the husband is gone, there are no children, and Annieâs soulmate is a four-legged rescue dog. Definitely not the life sheâd imagined.
Gallery owner Ian Debenidos grew up in a household with an authoritative father who did not tolerate weakness. No doubt this is why Ian refuses to let down his guard with anyone.
But thereâs something about Annie Burnes that makes him think about taking a riskâĶ
When Annie agrees to help Ian teach art classes to âkids in need,â they appear to have nothing in common. She says whatever lands in her brain, detests formal exercise, and doesnât care if her clothes arenât the latest style. He chooses his words with precision, runs five miles a day, and has a personal tailor. But the more time they spend together, the more they realize that opposites really do attractâĶ
Can Annie and Ian open their hearts and risk getting hurt for a chance at forever?
Moments of You: Part 2
How could a mother walk away from her family?
This is the question many readers asked after finishing Pieces of You, Book One of The Betrayed Trilogy. They wanted to know the real story behind the disappearance of Evie Burnes. This story offers an intimate glimpse into Evieâs life before her disappearanceâand after.
Included in this e-book is the first chapter of Strangers Like Us, a small town contemporary romance.
Mary Campisi is the bestselling author of 50 emotion-packed, romantic womenâs 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, youâll feel like you want to live in these towns, meet the residents for coffee or share a meal.
Maryâs 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 manâs 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 sheâs created an equally compelling one with the Reunion Gap series.
Mary should have known sheâd 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 sheâs not working on her craft or following the lives of five adult children, Maryâs 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.
