by Mary Campisi


  Jenny squeezed Grace’s hand. “I’ll be back,” she whispered and followed the doctor out of the room. She’d heard that unconscious people could sometimes still hear talking and if that were true, she wanted Grace to know she was coming back.

  Dr. Shaffer led her to the waiting room, and she took a seat in the same caramel-colored chair she’d sat in earlier. He removed his black glasses, rubbed a hand over his face, then put them back on. “I have some bad news.”

  “About Grace?”

  “No, this isn’t about your sister. Well, not directly.”

  “Meaning?”

  “I wish there were an easier way to tell you, but,” he paused, his expression gentle. “Your sister’s husband was in the car at the time of the accident.”

  Jenny sat up straight, clutched the arms of the vinyl chair. “Grant? Where is he? Is he hurt?” She’d assumed Grace was alone when the accident happened.

  Dr. Shaffer shook his head. “We couldn’t control the bleeding. It was all internal.” Another pause. “I’m very sorry.”

  “He’s...dead?”

  “He was in the cubicle next to your sister.”

  Grant was the one they’d been trying to resuscitate. Big, strong Grant. Dead. The room started spinning and Jenny tried to breathe, but she couldn’t get air into her lungs. The only man Grace had ever loved was dead. If the accident didn’t kill Grace, a broken heart would. And what about Danielle and Natalie? Who would tell them their mother was in a coma and their father was dead? She couldn’t tell them. She just couldn’t do it. When the dark side of consciousness sunk its claws into her, she welcomed it, tumbling head first into a black sleep.

  About the Author

  Mary Campisi writes emotion-packed books about second chances. Whether contemporary romances, women’s fiction, or Regency historicals, her books all center on belief in the beauty of that second chance. Her small-town romances center around family life, friendship, and forgiveness as they explore the issues of today’s contemporary women.

  Mary should have known she'd become a writer when at age thirteen she began changing the ending to all 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 she's not working on her craft or following the lives of five adult children, Mary's digging in the dirt with her flowers and herbs, cooking, reading, walking her rescue lab mix, Cooper, or, on the perfect day, riding off into the sunset with her very own hero/husband on his Harley Ultra Limited.
