When your second time's lucky, who needs a third?
With the help of her best friend, fifty-something widow Grace (no last name!!) begins to overcome her grief at losing her husband of thirty years. Going through with a pre-planned vacation to Fiji is just what friend Laurell insists she needs, but even Laurell didn't know how right she was. Finding love again so soon after her loss is the last thing on Grace's mind, until handsome fellow vacationer and widower Cole Spencer strides into her life on Fiji's golden beaches. 'Click' is a mild word for the connection these two second-chancers immediately feel for each other; just when you think the sun is setting, fate offers a new horizon.
This is a short story that delivers exactly what the title promises - love a second time around. Readers should thoroughly relate to Grace; the tragic and sudden loss of a life partner is a difficult thing, often leaving a person not only grieving but also rudderless and confused. So it is with Grace, believing that she could never feel that kind of love again and not even wanting to look for it; ironically, that' s exactly when she finds it. A breath of fresh air, Second Time Love presents a no-nonsense, tried and true storyline, with just enough detail, exactly the right amount of characters and a straight-ahead path to the HEA we all crave. What could be luckier than that?
