Book Description
Love at first sight is all very well, but sometimes it takes a second chance...Three stories featuring second chance romances, with happy–ever–after endings guaranteed! Second Time Sweeter – Ros Baxter Ten years ago, Genevieve Jenkins let the love of her life ride out of town while she settled for the safe bet. Turns out Mr Safe Bet wasn't so safe after all. The last thing she needs is for Mr Love of her Life to ride back into town, successful, smart, devastatingly sexy, and all the things that she can no longer be. Brodie Brown is back in town on a mission of mercy, but he's keeping his guard up. He can't let this town – or the girl who broke his heart ten years before – get under his skin. But he loved this town and he loves the people, so when Sweet Pocket calls, he answers. But it's only temporary and it's only business. When the town's future is secure, he'll ride away again – back to his life and his future, and away from the girl who could make both worthwhile. I've Got You – Louise Forster She's at risk of drowning in more ways than one – and he's the last person she expects to pull her out of the water. Belle Fabrini is sailing through the Whitsunday Islands to see her grandfather, when she's caught in a freakish storm. Luckily, Kabe Hunter finds her and hoists her on board his yacht just before a huge wave threatens to end her life. Belle hasn't seen Kabe since high school, a time she spent crushing on Kabe in a big way. Now he's sitting across from her in a tiny cabin wearing nothing but a towel. But Kabe has a reputation for loving and leaving gorgeous tourists, and Belle doesn't need any more complications in her life. But Kabe has no intention of losing Belle, now that he's finally found her again. Ravenous – Eden Summers She's a small–town caterer, he's a big–city chef, but they don't need a kitchen to make things sizzle... Erin McDonald likes her simple life in her small town: no drama, no fuss, no uncertainty...until Jesse Hackett breezes back into town. Erin never quite got over how he left for the bright lights of the big city, and took her heart with him. Jesse never regretted his decision to leave small–town life behind and chase his big–city dreams, but he's always regretted leaving Erin behind. No woman has ever compared, and once he convinces Erin to let him touch her again, he's never going to let her go.

Book Description
Billionaire. Playboy. Arrogant. Austin Harris heard these words to describe himself all the time in New York and the media. Hell, he happily owned them and ran the town, enjoying life to the hilt. He didn’t need North Reed, where he was from; not anymore. He’d avoided it for years until his parents begged him for just one visit home for a small-town holiday. Fine, he’d go but he’d bring his assistant so that he could work at the same time. Money didn’t get made if a man wasn’t working and that was the name of the game for Austin now. It was a compromise that everyone would have to be happy with. Coming back was harder than he could ever expect. It brought back feelings for the small town and for his first love, that he’d left behind after graduation. When things got serious, he knew that he’d have to make a choice about how to live his life from that moment on.

A Culture of Second Chances
Author: David M. Newman
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1498553990
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
This book examines the iconic presence of second chances in everyday life. David Newman explores its various iterations in popular culture, commercial marketplaces, religion, intimate relationships, education, criminal justice, and human bodies. He analyzes how this concept—as a cultural aspiration, driver of policy, and lived personal experience—has become part and parcel of our individual sense of self and our collective national identity. While the rhetoric of redemption is familiar and ubiquitous, Newman uncovers the costs and constraints of second chances, paying particular attention to the factors that affect judgments of deservedness. Informed by an array of data sources including personal interviews, mission statements of nonprofit recovery agencies, images in popular culture, stories from the news, plot summaries of novels, and scriptural texts, Newman frames the second chance experience as the quintessential cultural paradox: a concept that simultaneously represents the pinnacle of our shared hopes for renewal and our deepest suspicions about the intransigence of human nature.
