Extract Central!

I've been doing some editing today, so I decided it was time for another extract. This is from a scene where the main character's adopted uncle gets married. The relationships between everyone are a little confusing when you haven't read the whole book, but hopefully you'll enjoy this little excerpt anyway!

The flashing of bulbs began, and then there was no stopping them: the bride and groom; a group shot with the bridesmaids and the best man; all the kids together; the newly-weds with the kids; parents of the bride and groom; all the family together, in what was essentially a family portrait. Millie and William were central, all the children in front of them. Ella, Mary-Ann and Sara stood to one side, Aaron and Naseem to the other. Everyone in the portrait had the surname Kingsley – one of the only characteristics you could apply to all ten of them!

And, here is the blurb I've written, to give you a general idea of the book!

Two very different families are about to collide, and no-one knows what the consequences are going to be. Mary-Ann Mendora has a past shrouded in mystery, and she couldn’t be less suited to the sweet, squeaky-clean Ella Kingsley and her family if she tried. As she tries to make the best of her new life, will her past return to haunt her, and ruin the life she’s beginning to build? And will discover that the Kingsleys aren’t all quite as squeaky-clean as they appear? One thing’s for sure – the Mendoras’ and Kingsleys’ lives will never be quite the same again…
