Take Another Chance
(2021)(The first book in the Second Chances DO Happen! series)
A novel by Pat Adeff
She finds herself raising two daughters - alone.
He’s a police officer and a confirmed bachelor.
Then their paths cross…
After being blindsided by her husband’s demand for a divorce, Grace vows that raising her older teenage daughters must come first. So, she throws herself into her teaching job and puts romance on the back burner. Heck, it leaves the building entirely – until a few years later when Doug enters her life.
He’s a local bachelor by day and heroic police officer by night. He finds himself being drawn to the soft-spoken single mom. Grace’s quiet strength attracts him as much as her apparent self-blindness to her own womanly beauty.
Then unexpected circumstances in both their lives throw up roadblocks to their growing romance.
Can they overcome the hurt? Will Doug’s past ruin his future chances with Grace?
Do they dare take another chance at love?
Enjoy this feel-good binge-worthy tale of love, redemption, and hope.

Reviews:
“I absolutely loved reading this book! It has situations where the reader can relate 100%. Not to mention the originality and deeply emotional writing style as well as the depth of the characters. I would sincerely recommend this to anyone who loves to read a slice of life or romantic books where there is character development as well!” L.M.
“This was a very good read! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good knight-in-shining-armor type romance. I wasn’t ready for it to end.” E.B.
“This is a sweet love story with a compelling plot line and memorable characters. A light and enjoyable read, set in and around Orange County and the Inland Empire cities of Southern California.” D.S.
“If you like true to life, emotional, humorous, heartwarming, steamy (without being smutty) stories then this is the one for you. It’s beautifully written. I loved it!” KCL
