    About this series

    Jason Michaels knows second chances are very much a part of “happy ever after.”
    He’s seen it firsthand, more than once.
    So he has to wonder, when will it be his turn?
    He has a great group of friends and family to share his life with, but he knows there is one thing still missing.

    Love isn’t something he’s been avoiding, he just hasn’t found it yet... or has he?

    Tori Peterson has made mistakes in her life, but they all pale in comparison to her marriage.
    Luckily, she’s a woman who quickly learned from her mistakes.
    After doing everything in her power to escape the man who promised to cherish her, she builds herself a life she can be proud of.
    Vowing, never again will she be fooled into being with a man who she "might" love.
    She knows she has too much to lose now.

    Her hope?
    That she will recognize real love when she finds it.
    Her fear?
    That her past will catch her before she has a chance to find the love she deserves, the love that is required ...
    So what happens when her hopes and fears catch up to her at the same time?

      For Jake, it’s always been Gillian. It’s been her since that day she unknowingly stole a piece of his heart, while he watched her fall for one of his best friends. Resolved to the fate that she couldn’t be his, he locked up the deeper emotions he felt for her and loved her as a friend. As friends, they went through it all together. Marriages, births, divorces and even death. But when a shameful secret Gillian has kept from her friends is revealed, Jake realizes she needs him more than ever. He knew what it was like to go through heartbreak and he wasn't about to stand back and watch her endure it alone. He also knew she would turn to him for support. What he wasn’t prepared for was the return of the emotions he had long ago locked away. Could he control those emotions again and did he even want to? Could he make her realize his love for her was real, or would she slip through his fingers again?

      For Allie Baxter, love was never something she had to worry about. She was loved by her friends, her family, her husband ... until the day he was ripped away. Losing love was the deepest pain Allie had ever endured, and it was an agony she vowed to avoid feeling ever again. Crippled with guilt over her loss, for five years, Allie served her self-appointed exile from the daily comforts offered by friends and family, only to return and attempt to fit herself back into their open arms – even if she knew she didn’t deserve it. Mike Lawson was not something that Allie expected; the love of a man was not something Allie was prepared to want. The spark of desire that had long ago died inside her returned, bringing the memories of her pain with it. She swore she would never allow herself to love again ... but how long could love be resisted?

    Melanie is an amazing mother of four, an awesome and tolerant wife to one, and nurse to many. If you don’t believe her, just ask anyone in her family, they know what to say. She is also a devoted chauffer, the keeper of missing socks, a genius according to a six year old, the coolest soccer uniform coordinator according to a twelve year old, and the best damn ‘mac-n-cheese-with-cut-up-hot-dog maker in the whole world. Well that last title isn’t really official, but it’s still pretty cool to be called it.When not being ordered around by any of the kids, you can find her with her nose in a book or on the sideline of a soccer game cheering on one team or another. But that’s mostly because she has a thing for the coach. When she is not doing all of the above, you can find her obsessed with a group of fictional characters all vying for a spot on the page of whatever she’s working on. It’s a fun and crazy life to lead, but wouldn’t have it any other way.
