Second Chance at Forever
After being left widowed and penniless by her cheating husband, Angie Detmer has nothing but the unborn child she carries and a scant few possessions she has managed to save. And the determination to never again be owned by a man, including the sexy superintendent for her new apartment.
Left to his own grief by the death of his wife and their unborn baby, Michael Ripley is bent on working himself through his debts and his despair. He holds down four jobs, the most lucrative as a male dancer. But still he feels compelled to take care of his new tenant, whether she wants him to or not.
Neither expects the gentle bond that grows between them as Michael fights against his growing attraction to Angie and as Angie fights to maintain her independence.About the book:
Second Chance at Forever is a special book for me because of how long it took to write it. Poor Michael and Angie got put into limbo due to day job crises, moving my household, and, finally, pregnancy (the second one)--which always sucks my creativity from my brain to...well, you get the idea.
Two more stubborn people never existed, however, which stood them in
good stead while they waited for me to finish their story. Perseverance
is the key to success, whatever your goal. Angie and Michael know that
first hand. They learned a lot from each other, despite their
stubbornness, and I hope you grow to love them as much as I do.
I set this book in the only city that took my heart, Washington, DC. With its bright, airy atmosphere and aura of power, what better place to make a new start?
