A Family Affair: The Risk (Truth In Lies #25)
Mary Campisi
If Katie knew Ian Finnegan would break her heart, she’d like to think she would have ignored that blue gaze and slow smile, blocked out the deep voice, the pull of attraction that warned be careful. But would she have done it? She was nineteen and had been careful her whole life. For one long hot summer she allowed herself to believe in destiny.
Ian Finnegan might be a rich kid in designer clothes whose visit to Magdalena started out as a “punishment”, but he’s never met anyone like Katie Layton. She’s not impressed with his looks, his style, or his money. Katie fascinates him and the more time he’s around her, the more he realizes there is no one else like her. Ian is arrogant and naïve enough to believe nobody can stop them from being together. And then he finds out how wrong he is…

Katie’s vision of creating specialty soups has become a reality. Katie’s Soups was born from her love of cooking alongside her mother, and it’s how she honors her memory. When she lands a national contract that requires company expansion, a silent investor steps in to fund the project. However, months after completion, she’s still struggling to fulfill orders, and that’s when the silent investor insists on sending an engineer to conduct an efficiency audit.
Ian Finnegan certainly doesn’t look like an engineer or a successful businessman with his long hair, tattoos, T-shirts, and faded jeans. That’s what he’s counting on when he returns to Magdalena to convince Katie to let him help make her company more efficient without divulging that he's the engineer she’s expecting and he’s the silent investor. He'll have to tell her eventually, but not until he explains what happened all those years ago. It's going to be a big risk, but it’s one he’s willing to take for a chance at forever with the only woman he’s ever loved.
