Second Chance Girl (Happily Inc. Series #2)

by Susan Mallery

Overview

A touching modern fairy tale that won’t let go of your heart, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fool’s Gold romances!

Mathias Mitchell’s easy smile hides a world of hurt. After the worst kind of family betrayal, he moved to Happily Inc., California—the wedding-destination town supplies a steady stream of bridesmaids, perfect for his “no promises, no pain” lifestyle. Yet he can’t stop watching for his beautiful, elusive neighbor on the animal preserve behind their homes.

Gamekeeper Carol Lund knows she’s not special enough to attract an alpha male like Mathias, so his offer to help her adopt a herd for her lonely giraffe is surprising—and his determined seduction even more so. But just as she finally welcomes him into her bed, his careless actions crush her heart. Will she give him a second chance to prove she’ll always come first in his heart?

From the Publisher

Two sisters, Carol and Violet, find romance in the idyllic wedding town of Happily, Inc., California. Narrator Tanya Eby is a perfect fit for this quirky story, and her light, lilting voice invites smiles. When a giraffe in the road throws Violet and a British duke together, it’s not surprising that he ends up her boyfriend. Eby’s insouciant tone also plays up the humor caused by Sophie, a beagle who is staying with Carol’s boyfriend, Mathias. An artist whose family troubles take up much of the book, Mathias has a droll tone that swings from eager to humorously resigned in an irresistible fashion. Overall, Eby captures the lighthearted spirit of her characters’ search for love. C.A. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
