The story before the story¿

What happened before A Family Affair began? Bestselling author Mary Campisi answers this question in her new Park Bench series. These short stories make the perfect park-bench read, and are named after her signature park bench covers.

In A Family Affair Shorts: Love, Book Three, Charles is determined to let duty prevail over desire and breaks off his relationship with Miriam. But he soon realizes his real life is with Miriam, even if it is only four days a month. When he confesses this truth, she shares a truth of her own; she's pregnant. Together, they will form a new family, one that while not conforming to society's standards, is nonetheless filled with love and commitment.

Note: These stories are intended for those who've read A Family Affair, Book One in the Truth in Lies series, and provide an in-depth look into the lives of the characters readers love to love-even a few they love to hate. Don't miss these compelling collections!
