Small town romantic womenā€™s fiction with love, hope, second chances, and a happy ending!

Note from Mary:

I love secondary characters: writing them, reading about them, even watching them on the big screen. Secondary characters support the ā€œstarsā€; make them more vibrant and compelling. But when the story ends, Iā€™m often left wondering what theyā€™d do if they were in the ā€œspotlightā€. Thatā€™s why Iā€™ve created special boxed sets that were part of That Second Chance series and the Truth in Lies series. These boxed sets let the reader follow the before and after of select characters as they first appear in That Second Chance series and later in the fictional town of my bestselling Truth in Lies series. Boxed Set 6 contains The Butterfly Garden and A Family Affair: Return. I invite you to follow their journey!
The Butterfly Garden
Sometimes love happens when you least expect itā€¦
Jenny Romano has never been a white-picket-fence, happily-ever-after girl. Despite a mother who rejected her free-spirited, unique ways as irresponsible and just plain wrong, Jenny has found happiness as a photographer, flitting around the country and snapping photos of other peopleā€™s lives. Her older sister, Grace, has a husband, children, and a carpool schedule. Sheā€™s the one their mother calls ā€œperfect.ā€ 
But when tragedy strikes her sisterā€™s carefully constructed life, Jenny must step in and offer support. Soon, she finds herself in the sort of small-town suburban life she swore to avoidā€¦
Psychologist Elliot Drake spends so much time healing other peopleā€™s pain and witnessing the backlash of caring too deeply that he prefers to keep his own relationships short and bittersweet. Heā€™s loved and lost once and with a young daughter to raise, heā€™s not willing to risk his heart again. But heā€™s never met anyone quite like Jenny. Outrageous and unpredictable, sheā€™s a force of natureā€”not at all like her well-controlled older sister. Suddenly, Elliot isnā€™t so sure that short-term is what he wantsā€¦
Taken by surprise and unsure of the next step, Elliot and Jenny are about to discover that real life happens whether you want it to or not. Will they let real love happen, too?
A Family Affair: The Return
Magdalena, New York. 
Home of memories long buried, steamy nights, and one regrettable summerā€¦
Grace Romano had been seventeen, impressionable, innocent to the power of attraction and desire. 
Max Ruhland taught her about both. He loved Grace and thought they had a future together, until she crushed his heart and told him he wasnā€™t part of her life plan.
Twenty-two years later, Grace Romano Clarke is a widow with two children and a pile of broken dreams. When her aunt dies, she must return to Magdalena, the town sheā€™d rather forget, to honor the womanā€™s last wishes: stay in her house for thirty days, and complete a list that, according to her aunt, will reveal a bit about life and maybe reveal something about herself, too. What Grace doesnā€™t know but will find out soon enough is that Max Ruhland must stay in the house with her and help complete the list!
Max Ruhland isnā€™t the same lovesick puppy from the wrong side of the tracks who had his heart broken all those years ago. Heā€™s a wealthy, successful businessman who owes his good fortune to Graceā€™s aunt, the woman who never gave up on him. Max can have any woman he wants, but heā€™s never forgotten Grace, or how she hurt him. Now heā€™ll have to spend the next thirty days with herā€”in close quartersā€”to honor her auntā€™s last wishes, and heā€™s not looking forward to it.
Itā€™s going to get very interesting as the town watches and wonders whatā€™s going on between those two. Of course, Pop Benito understands exactly whatā€™s happening in the house on Bayberry Street, even if Max and Grace donā€™t. Heā€™s the one who helped Graceā€™s aunt create the thirty-day list, which he insists will finally get this couple their happily-ever-after!
