The Heritage River Series
Grace Starr plans. She likes order, organization, and the smell of bleach. When her ex-husband evicts her from her predictable life, she’s faced with the hit-you-between-the-eyes realization she’s been a bystander in her own life. Then a letter arrives. An anonymous donor gifts her a worn-out house in a small town. She’ll have to put up with the neighbor. Blaise Savage is an incorrigible, nearly washed-up drummer in a rock band. His unbridled personality challenges everything she holds dear. He’s sexy, and that wicked wink probably had half the female population in his bed. For Grace, his lifestyle is out of control. Is the woman who never takes a risk willing to risk it all – and possibly fall in love? Praise for A Second Chance House: “This is a really lovely little romance — a breezy (often funny) read with genuine emotional depth. I’m glad, like the protagonist herself, I stepped outside my “comfort zone” and stayed for a while in Heritage River." -- Goodreads Reviewer Available on all major retailers. |
