Publisher Description
She was the last person he wanted to fall for, but now she’s the only one he wants.
People called Meredith Alexander a high-society do-gooder with a penchant for trusting the wrong people—especially men. Some said the failing had to do with her tyrant father who valued money and power over love and kindness toward his only daughter. Meredith spent years searching for the elusive “something” that would give her life meaning, but all she found were dead-end jobs, false starts, empty relationships, and wrong choices. When she decides to ditch her designer lifestyle and settle in Chicago, a routine trip to the grocery store prompts the creation of a company for struggling entrepreneurs—and gives her life meaning.
Eight months later, Meredith once again experiences a random life-changing encounter when former Reunion Gap resident Daniel Reese walks into a café. What are the odds that two people from the same small town would both land in Chicago at the same café? Or that he’d be a woodworker looking for a big break and she’d own a company that helped entrepreneurs? He seems more interested in her than her support, and there’s no denying the white-hot attraction that has him calling their meeting destiny.
Except it isn’t. It’s all been orchestrated in Daniel’s attempt to save his father from the blackmail scheme he’s been caught up in by the most ruthless man in Reunion Gap—Meredith’s father. Daniel will have to pretend he’s a wannabe woodworker low on cash and not the anonymous artist behind the famous woodturning company that’s gained national recognition. And he’ll have to find a way to lure Meredith back to Reunion Gap for a “meeting” with her father. Then he can come clean and hope she forgives him.
But it’s not going to be that easy... Once Meredith learns about the real Daniel Reese and how he’s played her, only forgiveness, true love, and destiny will bring them back together...

Guilty Like Us
Guilty Like Us is another winner from Mary Campisi, who her fans know is a master at creating complex stories filled with family drama. This addition to her Reunion Gap series revolves around Harrison Alexander’s desire to have his estranged daughter, Meredith, return home...even if it takes blackmail to accomplish the goal. Daniel’s father is the blackmail victim, so of course he accepts the mission. Meredith turns out to be nothing like the trust fund princess he expected and his attraction to her is real, even if his cover story isn’t. Hiding his true identity becomes more difficult, but imperative the closer he comes to mission fulfillment. Will Daniel actually convince Meredith to go back to visit Reunion Gap and if she does what will that do to a relationship that is becoming important to both of them? Buckle up and prepare to keep reading... the road is about to become bumpy. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book. Highly recommend.
