Abby O'Malley was bright, beautiful, and successful. As Senior Vice President of her family's company, The O'Malley Company, she helped run the corporation with ease and competence. By all accounts she was able to navigate life smoothly, until her heart got in the way. When she met Sylvia, she thought she was in love until that love turned into the disaster she never expected. Charlie Connor thought she would marry her partner, Cynthia and live happily ever after. She realized quickly that life sometimes takes turns that change the course of our lives forever. And those changes might mean letting go of the love of your life. When Charlie went to work for the O'Malley Company, she and Abby secretly swooned over each other from a distance for more than a year. When they finally found the courage to turn the corner, they also found that maybe they could turn to each other for a second chance - unless, of course, Sylvia got her way.

The Second Chance
Whispers of the Forgotten Realm
Author: Robin Wickens
Publisher: Rob's Books
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
The world of **Eryndor** is a once-vibrant realm now slowly succumbing to the relentless grip of an ancient curse, its beauty marred by the creeping decay of time and dark magic. The skies are eternally shrouded in a dim, blood-red twilight, a perpetual state of half-light that cloaks the world in an unsettling gloom. The sun, a faint and distant memory, struggles to break through the heavy, oppressive clouds, casting only the weakest of rays upon the land. This weak sunlight creates an eerie, otherworldly ambiance, where night and day have merged into an endless twilight, leaving the inhabitants in a constant state of uncertainty. The landscape of Eryndor is a haunting reflection of its former glory. Once, it was a realm of breathtaking beauty and grandeur, where towering spires and majestic cities stood as a testament to the civilization that flourished there. Now, those same cities lie in ruin, their magnificent architecture crumbling and overtaken by nature. Vines and moss creep over ancient stone, reclaiming what was once theirs, while the wind whispers through empty corridors, carrying with it the memories of a forgotten age. The castles that once housed mighty lords and ladies are now little more than hollow shells, their walls cracked and broken, their halls echoing with the ghosts of the past. Some are said to be haunted, the restless spirits of those who perished in the curse-bound cataclysm unable to find peace. These spectral figures wander the halls, their lamentations a constant reminder of the tragedy that befell Eryndor. Beyond the cities and castles, the wilderness of Eryndor has grown wild and untamed. The forests, once filled with life and vibrant colors, are now dark and foreboding. Towering trees with gnarled branches stretch towards the sky like skeletal fingers, their leaves a sickly shade of brown. The ground is covered in a thick layer of dead leaves, and the air is heavy with the scent of decay. In these haunted woods, strange creatures roam—twisted, nightmarish beings born of the curse, as well as the spirits of the dead, forever trapped between worlds. Rivers and lakes, once sparkling with clear, fresh water, have turned stagnant and brackish. The waters now carry a deep, unnatural hue, and strange shapes can be seen moving beneath the surface. Some say that the curse has given life to creatures of the deep, ancient beings that should have remained buried and forgotten. The people of Eryndor, those who still survive, are a shadow of their former selves. They eke out a meager existence in the remnants of their once-great civilization, struggling to survive in a world that seems to have turned against them. They speak in hushed tones of the curse, of the ancient wrong that brought it upon them, but few know the full truth. Fear and superstition have taken root, and trust is a rare commodity. Many have turned to dark rituals and forbidden magic in a desperate attempt to lift the curse, but these efforts have only deepened the realm's descent into darkness. Eryndor is a world where hope is a fragile thing, easily crushed under the weight of despair. Yet, there are still those who fight against the darkness, small bands of adventurers, scholars, and warriors who seek to unravel the mysteries of the curse and restore Eryndor to its former glory. They venture into the deepest, most dangerous parts of the land, facing the horrors that lurk there in search of answers. But time is running out, and the curse grows stronger with each passing day, threatening to consume everything in its path.

Book Description
The day of my best friend’s wedding, I’m the one rocking the strapless red taffeta and chef’s apron ensemble, running on zero sleep. Being both the event caterer and a bridesmaid is crazy, I know. But, I’m a pro. This is my seventh wedding after all—as bridesmaid, that is. Pretty sure that’s some kind of town record. Still, no amount of my trademark meticulous planning could’ve possibly prepared me to see him again. The prodigal Doctor Dreamy himself, Mason Stewart. My first (and only) love who disappeared without a word literally the day after proposing to me. What the heck is he doing back in Bliss River? And how is it at all fair that he looks this good? Also, holy crap, why is he coming this way? * * * There she is. Somehow even more beautiful than I remember. This overdue apology is one I’ve rehearsed since the day I left, pulverized by my own family, positive I'd never be good enough for the only girl I've ever loved. Took a lot of both time and therapy, but I finally managed to fix what they broke. And now I’m here to repair what I broke. I know Lark. She’ll see this second chance I’m hoping for as a no-strings fling so we can each get closure and move on. Right. Like it’s just that easy. You don’t move on from a woman like Lark. And I’m pretty sure a clothing-optional arrangement will make that feat infinitely more impossible. Still, it’s a start—a way for Lark to see the man I’ve become. A man who isn’t looking for a fling, but rather, matching rings, kids, the whole nine yards. Previously titled Dating Dr. Dreamy. Same swoony, feel-good story, just with a fresh title and cover makeover.

A caring mother struggles against the prejudices of the 1950s, with tragic consequences... Second Chance of Sunshine is a captivating tale of a woman gaining her independence, in a poignant London saga from much-loved author Pam Evans. Perfect for fans of Sheila Newberry and Cathy Sharp. 'Evans has a real feel for the people and places of the South East.

Warm, entertaining and peopled with lovable characters' - Lancashire Evening Post It's 1956, and while many women are doing jobs they'd never dreamed of before the war, Molly Hawkins is chained firmly to the kitchen sink. Her husband Brian believes his wife's place is in the home, but is too idle to seek regular employment for himself. Molly worries that her six-year-old daughter Rosa is going without, but is willing to sacrifice luxuries - and her own happiness - for her little girl to have a dad. Then a family friend dies suddenly, leaving Molly a share in a successful pottery business. To Brian's horror, it's on condition that Molly takes a job at the pottery. Seizing the chance to bring in much needed income, Molly accepts the position, and soon gains strength from her new-found independence.
