High school sweethearts are brought back together by the daughter they’d decided would be better off without them in this second chance, small town romance. After Becca and her high school boyfriend, Finn, made an adoption plan, Becca was heartbroken. The day their biological daughter was born, Becca told Finn to stay out of her life. But that was decades ago, and not what she’d truly wanted. She’s lived with regret even though it was clear she and Finn weren’t ready to become parents at eighteen. But Becca knew keeping Finn in her life would be a constant reminder of the child she’d wanted to keep. So she ended their relationship and tried her best to move on with her life. Even after marrying another man, she never stopped loving Finn. Finn has been trying to let time heal his wounds, but losing Becca shattered him. He’s never been able to fully move on or love another woman. But he respected Becca’s wish to stay out of her life the day their daughter was born. Now their daughter, Molly, wants to know her biological parents. In order to have the best relationship he can with his daughter, Finn wants to make things right with Becca. But can Becca forgive him for not fighting for her? They’ve both spent years trying to forget each other and move on. Will Molly bring them back together? Or will she help them see they were never meant to be? Deep wounds, regret, and a second chance for a family, this contemporary second chance romance will scratch your What-If itch.

Book Description
The world never granted me much. No warm and cozy home to rest my head, no loving parents to cheer at my games or remember my birthday, and certainly no finer things in life. Just a damn good arm to throw a football and a hunger inside of me that I hoped would lead me straight to the NFL. I was twelve years old when the universe finally delivered its first gift. A beautiful angel, though my angel certainly wore no halo. She dressed in the same tattered clothes that I did, and her eyes were as lost and broken as mine were. All it took was one look at her face, and I knew she had been made for me and me alone. From that day forward, my soul was hooked, taken, a slave to hers. Nothing could come between us. I was headed to college and then pro ball, and she would be by my side, where she belonged. Until one day, she disappeared without a word. The love of my life, my best friend, was suddenly gone, vanished, evaporated into thin air. Almost as if she were never even here. Now, over a year later, at Brooks College in Georgia, she's back. I want vengeance for her leaving me so callously. But one look into her stormy-blue eyes, and I'm enamored yet again. But she's keeping secrets. Pushing me away so that they remain buried in the past. She's forgetting one thing though-when it comes to her, I'll stop at nothing. She can't keep me at arm's length forever. After all, she is mine. This is a complete stand alone in the Brooks University series. Second Chance Sports Romance

Book Description
From New York Times bestselling author Jon Katz comes a wise, uplifting, and poignant memoir of finding love against all odds, and the power of second chances for both people and dogs. “I had no idea that Frieda would enter my life and alter it in the most profound way, but that’s one of the beautiful things about animals. They change you, and you almost never see it coming.” In 2007, a few years after purchasing Bedlam Farm in upstate New York, Jon Katz met Maria Wulf, a quiet, sensitive artist hoping to rekindle her creative spark. Jon, like her, was introspective yet restless, a writer struggling to find his purpose. He felt a connection with her immediately, but a formidable obstacle stood in the way: Maria’s dog, Frieda. A rottweiler-shepherd mix who had been abandoned by her previous owner in the Adirondacks, where she lived in the wild for several years, Frieda was ferociously protective and barely tamed. She roared and charged at almost anyone who came near. But to Maria, Frieda was sweet and loyal, her beloved guard dog and devoted friend. And so Jon quickly realized that to win over Maria, he’d have to gain Frieda’s affection as well. While he and Maria grew closer, Jon was having a tougher time charming Frieda to his side. Even after many days spent on Bedlam Farm, Frieda still lunged at the other animals, ran off into the woods, and would not let Jon come near her, even to hook on her leash. Yet armed with a singular determination, unlimited patience, and five hundred dollars’ worth of beef jerky, Jon refused to give up on Frieda—or on his chance with Maria. Written with stunning emotional clarity and full of warm yet practical wisdom, The Second-Chance Dog is a testament to how animals can make us better people, and how it’s never too late to find love. Praise for The Second-Chance Dog “No one speaks the language of a dog like best-selling author Jon Katz. His latest heartwarming memoir about finding love after struggling through a broken relationship . . . gives testament to how dogs can make us better human beings.”—The Free Lance–Star “[An] intimate story of falling in love with a woman and her extremely protective pet dog . . . Bittersweet in its telling, Katz reminds readers of the importance of human and animal connections.”—Kirkus Reviews “In this heartwarming story of love and redemption . . . dogs and humans alike get second chances at life, love, and growth. . . . This moving work is recommended for readers who want a true-life love story, for dog lovers seeking a book with a happy ending (the dog doesn’t die!), for seniors who think that receiving a Medicare card means that love is out of the question, and for dog trainers who want to learn more about Katz’s philosophy of dog training.”—Library Journal “The story [Katz] tells gives hope that no animal is beyond help, as long as enough love and patience are thrown in.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune
