Second Intermission: Second Chance Romances, #4.5

By Lois Breedlove

Who Can Tell Her Story?

Deborah Blessing is a German Baptist who has chosen to play a devout Muslim woman in the play Afghanistan. She's in awe of the playwright, a Marine veteran named Jake Abbott, and hero worships the professor for the play's production, Gail Tremont. They're two of the reasons she's standing up to pressure from her community to not act in the play.

But mostly, it's the character herself. A devout woman of faith who risked her life for some strangers deserved to be played by a woman of faith. Who else could give her voice?

This novella continues the story of Gail Tremont and Jake Abbott, following after book 2, The Show Goes On. While the novella isn't necessary to the plot of the trilogy, it offers some steamier romance between the two — and a side-journey into Deborah's story.

The romantic suspense series, Second Chance Romances, features four women friends (and a few others), each with their own trilogy, braided together. They've got each other's backs. And really? There's little you can't do if you've got friends like that. You might even take another chance at love.
