A 4-in-One volume of Donna Alward's Second Chances series!
ALMOST A FAMILY: When her sister is badly injured, Molly Schaeffer rushes home to look after her niece, Sara. Discovering that her ex, Jason, is living next door makes the task nearly impossible.
The last thing Jason expects is to have feelings for the woman who broke his heart so completely when she chose her career over a life together, but clearly things weren't as over as they thought. Neither manage to keep their distance as old sparks ignite a new flame.
Can they learn from past mistakes and give their love a second chance, or is this goodbye for good?
THE GIRL MOST LIKELY: Katie Buick dreams of opening her own niche restaurant, but finding a financial backer for a reformed party girl is proving impossible. Until she makes a final desperate plea to Ric Emerson, former ugly duckling and high school friend turned successful businessman. Too bad they haven't spoken since she humiliated him before their prom.
Ric knows Katie's idea is brilliant, and with his business acumen and her work ethic, they're sure to be a success. Chemistry still simmers between them, blurring the lines between personal and professional despite their best intentions. Ric trusts Katie to make their business a success, but can he trust her with his heart and give them a second chance?
BREATHE: Anna Morelli's life looked picture perfect - until her husband had an affair with the nanny. She's ready to file for divorce when a freak accident claims his life, and she's forced to act the grieving widow. Trouble is, she's not much of an actress. She has to get away - somewhere her meddling family won't think to find her. Somewhere she has room to breathe. That place is Two Willows Winery, the new home of her former best friend and ex-lover, Jace. Anna just prays their childhood friendship is strong enough that he won't turn her away.
Jace never expected to see Anna at his door. He's never forgiven her for breaking his heart - or marrying someone else. But he can't turn her away. Not when she needs a roof over her children's heads, and some peace of mind.
But their painful history isn't forgotten, and as old secrets are finally revealed, their love is rekindled. Can Jace let go of his grudge and forgive her? Can she trust him again? Or are their wounds too deep to ever truly heal?
SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER: There's nothing Ella won't do to make her ex finally sign the divorce papers - even buy him off the bachelor auction block. Two thousand dollars is a small price to pay to have him out of her life forever. But Devin's insisting she get what she paid for - 48 hours of his 'services.' And that's long enough for both of them to be reminded of why they got married in the first place.
Perhaps this reunion is simply the goodbye they never really had.Until one night changes everything, and they have to decide if they can take the biggest gamble of all... a second chance.
