A Family Affair: The Secret — Mary Campisi

Heartache. Betrayal. Forgiveness. Redemption... It's time to head back to Magdalena, New York, and spend a little time with the people we love to love and even a few we love to hate. Roman Ventori isn't looking for a wife. He's had one of those and it ended badly. He's come back to Magdalena out of duty, not love for the town that drove him away with rumors and judgments. Angie Sorrento is in Magdalena to do a job, not find a husband. She almost had one of those, until he dumped her three days before the wedding. Roman's father has health problems and his last wish is to see his son settled with a wife, a child, a second chance at a life that doesn't include city life and flashy women. There's only one person in town who can make the impossible happen. Angelo “Pop” Benito, the Godfather of Magdalena, is the wiliest matchmaker in the Catskills and if he sets his mind to it, an old man might see his wish come true. Oh, and remember Gloria Blacksworth's notebook, the one filled with enough destruction to bring down Magdalena? Well, it's causing trouble again, and this time the target is Miriam Desantro… Pop's going to try to intervene, but he might be too late… Truth In Lies Series:Book One: A Family AffairBook Two: A Family Affair: SpringBook Three: A Family Affair: SummerBook Four: A Family Affair: FallBook Five: A Family Affair: Christmas, a novellaBook Six: A Family Affair: WinterBook Seven: A Family Affair: The PromiseBook Eight: A Family Affair: The Secret Book Nine: A Family Affair: The WishBook Ten: A Family Affair: The GiftBook Eleven: A Family Affair: The Weddings, a novellaBook Twelve: A Family Affair: The Cabin, a novellaBook Thirteen: A Family Affair: The ReturnBook Fourteen: A Family Affair: The ChoiceBook Fifteen: A Family Affair: The ProposalMeals From Magdalena, A Family Affair CookbookIf you love to read about second chances, don't miss:That Second Chance Series:Book One: Pulling Home �" (Also prequel to A Family Affair: The Promise) Book Two: The Way They Were �" (Also prequel to A Family Affair: The Secret)Book Three: Simple Riches �" (Also prequel to A Family Affair: Winter) Book Four: Paradise Found - (Also prequel to A Family Affair: The Wish)Book Five: Not Your Everyday Housewife - (Also prequel to A Family Affair: The Gift)Book Six: The Butterfly Garden - (Also prequel to A Family Affair: The Return)
