Love at first sight is all very well, but sometimes it takes a second chance...Three stories featuring second chance romances, with happy–ever–after endings guaranteed! Second Time Sweeter – Ros Baxter Ten years ago, Genevieve Jenkins let the love of her life ride out of town while she settled for the safe bet. Turns out Mr Safe Bet wasn't so safe after all. The last thing she needs is for Mr Love of her Life to ride back into town, successful, smart, devastatingly sexy, and all the things that she can no longer be. Brodie Brown is back in town on a mission of mercy, but he's keeping his guard up. He can't let this town – or the girl who broke his heart ten years before – get under his skin. But he loved this town and he loves the people, so when Sweet Pocket calls, he answers. But it's only temporary and it's only business. When the town's future is secure, he'll ride away again – back to his life and his future, and away from the girl who could make both worthwhile. I've Got You – Louise Forster She's at risk of drowning in more ways than one – and he's the last person she expects to pull her out of the water. Belle Fabrini is sailing through the Whitsunday Islands to see her grandfather, when she's caught in a freakish storm. Luckily, Kabe Hunter finds her and hoists her on board his yacht just before a huge wave threatens to end her life. Belle hasn't seen Kabe since high school, a time she spent crushing on Kabe in a big way. Now he's sitting across from her in a tiny cabin wearing nothing but a towel. But Kabe has a reputation for loving and leaving gorgeous tourists, and Belle doesn't need any more complications in her life. But Kabe has no intention of losing Belle, now that he's finally found her again. Ravenous – Eden Summers She's a small–town caterer, he's a big–city chef, but they don't need a kitchen to make things sizzle... Erin McDonald likes her simple life in her small town: no drama, no fuss, no uncertainty...until Jesse Hackett breezes back into town. Erin never quite got over how he left for the bright lights of the big city, and took her heart with him. Jesse never regretted his decision to leave small–town life behind and chase his big–city dreams, but he's always regretted leaving Erin behind. No woman has ever compared, and once he convinces Erin to let him touch her again, he's never going to let her go.
