She couldn't leave, he wouldn't stay For two blissful months, Marilee Dupont had been in love. So maybe she should have asked a few more questions, she admits. Maybe they shouldn't have moved so fast. Maybe Trent Williams would have realized how much the ranch — and her professorship at the university — meant to her. Maybe. And maybe she would have realized he really didn't plan to stay. That as soon as his teenaged daughter graduated from high school in a year, he was going back to Boise — with or without her. Maybe. And then things got really difficult. This is book 3 in the series, Second Chance Romances about four smart, competent women who know their own minds. Women who aren't afraid to take some risks — in life, work and love — because they know they have each other's backs. Come for the slow-burn contemporary romance. Stay for the HEA — if love can manage to find it for two people this stubborn! (Be prepared for language, triggers, and politics.)
Can love truly conquer all? Marilee Dupont is running the ranch that has been in her family for generations. But she never planned to do it alone.

But his ex-wife is making his life hell, and worse, is hurting their teen-aged daughter. So he gets custody of his daughter, and jumps at a chance to leave Boise behind to run the branch bank in Moscow, Idaho. Just for a couple of years. Just until his daughter graduates from high school. But he can't take his eyes off the woman who can wear silk dresses and heels to town and then grab jeans and cowboy boots on a ranch. Her ranch. His career. Book 1 in the Second Chance Romances set in a small college town in Idaho. Four women friends who have each other’s backs, no matter what. In this slow burn contemporary romance series, each woman gets her HEAs, but oh, the convoluted path love can take to get there! (Be prepared for language, triggers, and politics.)

If that is what's right for him, is she strong enough to let him go?

Slow burn, small town, second chance romantic suspense — HEAs ahead, but love never faced challenges like these!
They're Just Too Different Rebecca Jones doesn't see how a relationship with Jon Whitaker can work — not in the long-term. He's a conservative Republican in the Idaho state Senate. She's a political science professor at the University of Idaho in Moscow, and generally seen as the most liberal professor on campus. He's an extreme extrovert, who hates being alone. Rebecca? She's an introvert who has a meltdown if she spends the entire weekend with friends. They were childhood sweethearts. And then she found out the truth and fled. Rebecca may not see how their romance has much of a future, but she's going to hold on to it for as long as she can — even in the face of the coming storm about what she teaches and why. This is the third book in Rebecca's trilogy that began with His Campaign, and book 12 in the Second Chance Romances featuring four strong women, their friendship, and the men they love.
Sometimes a Love Story Needs a Different Ending Angie Gregory had been prioritizing other people for so long, she didn't know what she wanted for herself. She'd seen her dreams of love and marriage dashed more than once. And this last year had been particularly rough. Through it all, she had known one thing: those two twin boys deserved a happy home, and she was the only one who could provide it. But didn't she deserve a happy ever after too? The conclusion to Angie's trilogy, and book 10 in the Second Chance Romances featuring four women friends who have each other's backs. You can take some risks for a second chance at love when you have friends like that.
He's the Man She's Never Forgotten Rebecca Jones and Jon Whitaker were childhood sweethearts — since the day she ran his campaign for president in the sixth grade. He was destined for politics, and Rebecca was going to be there to support his campaign. And then one day, she overheard what he really thought of her, and she fled. Now Rebecca is a professor of political science, and she's caught in a web of politics around freedom of speech, the Idaho legislature and a law banning critical race theory. Not that the legislature actually knows what CRT is, she gripes to her best friends on Friday night. Jon Whitaker is running for the Republican governor nomination. And he's got a problem. A bi...
Who Can Tell Her Story? Deborah Blessing is a German Baptist who has chosen to play a devout Muslim woman in the play Afghanistan. She's in awe of the playwright, a Marine veteran named Jake Abbott, and hero worships the professor for the play's production, Gail Tremont. They're two of the reasons she's standing up to pressure from her community to act in the play. But mostly, it's the character herself. A devout woman of faith who risked her life for some strangers deserved to be played by a woman of faith. Who else could give her voice? This novella continues the story of Gail Tremont and Jake Abbott, following after book 2, The Show Goes On. While the novella isn't necessary to the plot of the trilogy, it offers some steamier romance between the two — and a side-journey into Deborah's story. Second Chance Romances features four women friends (and a few others) who have each other's backs. And really? There's little you can't do if you've got friends like that. You might even take another chance at love.
Trouble Follows Her Everywhere Theater professor Gail Tremont thought the problems were over. Her stalker was gone. Stalkers, plural, actually. The fall student play was a success. Her own play is headed to off-Broadway — and she's going back to New York for opening night. The only flaw in her excitement is that Jake won't be able to go with her. His play won regional competition — and it's being performed the same night. She won't deprive him of that. Jake Abbott is excited about his own play, and thrilled about Gail's. But he doesn't like being in Idaho when she's in New York. He would have gone — if she'd asked. Then the anonymous photos start showing up in Jake's email. Pictures of Gail and other men. Some of them he recognizes. Gail's still in danger. And Jake has choices to make. The Story Never Ends, the conclusion to Gail and Jake's trilogy, is book 9 in the Second Chance Romances series. Four women friends find a second chance at love might be worth the risk — especially if you have friends who have your back. A small town, slow burn, contemporary romance series with HEAs — although love has its work cut out for it to get them there!
She's a professor, he's her student Gail Tremont fled New York bright lights to Moscow, Idaho, a small town that couldn't be more different.

This is year 5, and all Gail asks is that it go smoothly. Then a Marine veteran shows up with a circle beard and a full lower lip made for kissing. And damn it, if Jake Abbott isn't one of the playwrights! And oh my God, the play he brings? Gail Tremont wants to produce that play almost as badly as she wants him. But things turn ugly fast when the man she fled years...
He Broke Her Heart Once In politics, the primary season runs in the spring until Memorial Day, and then the general election politics heats up after Labor Day. And in between is the summer lull.

But before Rebecca Jones and Jon Whitaker can enjoy the summer lull this year, they've got to figure out what is going on at Whitaker Furniture, and is someone really trying to kill Jon? And why? But there's this sense that come fall, things will heat up again. Really heat up again. This is book 2 in Rebecca's trilogy, the story of a preacher's daughter who became the most liberal professor on campus — and has always loved a conservative politician who broke her heart. Can she take the risk to love again? Maybe with a little help from her friends.... Book 11 in the Second Chance Romances series.
