A Second Chance at Romance

Second Chances. If we're honest, they're not only something we want. They're something we need ... most every day. A fresh start. A do-over. A chance to learn from our mistakes and seize the opportunities we missed in the past.

It Takes Courage to Accept a Second Chance
Finding Courage by Melanie D. Snitker
I love the idea of second chances. I'm not just talking about romance, but life in general. Goodness knows, there have been instances a second chance was offered to me when it wasn't deserved. But isn't that the beauty of a it? Second chances give us an opportunity to right wrongs and make things better the second time around. 

I think that's why the story in Finding Courage is one of my favorites. Duke and Avalon had one of those whirlwind courtships, falling in love shortly after they first met. But as it usually does, real life set in quickly once they were married. Both of them made a number of mistakes that kept building until a chasm big enough to swallow them both threatened their relationship. 

Sometimes, it's easier to walk away than it is to face what's happened. But good things rarely come without effort. I like to think that, when we put ourselves out there and truly grab hold of a second chance, we'll see blessings, even if they aren't what we expected them to be. 

It's Giveaway Time!

Finding Courage - Only $0.99
Finding Courage by Melanie D. Snitker
It takes courage to ask for a second chance…even more to extend one. 

For Duke and Avalon McNeil, it was love at first sight. Married within months of meeting, their feet hardly touched the ground until the reality of their haste hit home with startling clarity. 

Duke's heart shattered when Avalon vanished for nearly three weeks, fleeing their arguments and misunderstandings. Now she's back. He's happy she's home and safe, but he isn't ready to risk everything again when their bond was so easily broken. 

Avalon's relieved to be home. She's desperate to make peace between them, but returns with a secret. She can't reveal anything to Duke until she proves to him she came back to restore their relationship.

As outside pressure continues to threaten Duke and Avalon's fragile foundation, they must find the strength to prove to each other their marriage is worth fighting for.
​

If you'd like to read Duke and Avalon's story, Finding Courage
​is on sale for only $0.99 now through January 20th.

Marriages need a lot of chances! Some days you're the giver & some days you're the taker. But even a good marriage definitely needs courage! Thanks for being a part of the Event Giveaway!

I don't know if I would take a second chance, I might not end up with my kids or my husband. That would not be worth righting the wrongs.

I love second chance novels! Personally, I believe God gave me a second chance of life and much more when I moved back to NY a few years ago!

I feel like I got a second chance when I met my husband. It's working out so far!
