If a second chance presented itself, would you take it?
When the love of Dana's life leaves without a word, moving on is the last thing she wants to do. Despite loving him, she believes she will never see him again but, little does she know, she's being set up for a night that will change her life forever.
Nicholas, A Navy man, did the only thing he could to save the woman he loved. Driven by a secret, he disappeared and now returns, years later, with hope for love. With one opportunity, will he be able to make things right, or is it just too late?
Will she resist the desire she has for a second chance or will it be Second Nature?
Excerpt:
“I’m sorry, sweetheart.”
She sucked back a sob, her fight slipping away. “I’ve wanted to be mad at you for so long.” She rolled her eyes. “Why do you have to look so damn good in that uniform?”
He chuckled and cupped her face in his hands, lowering his head to brush his lips gently against hers.
Instant ignition.
“Oh, God, please don’t.” She placed her palms to his solid chest, feeling his muscled pecks under all that uniform. Her body trembled from the tip of her toes to the top of her head. Startled by her immediate reaction to him, she pushed him away.
“This can’t happen, Nicholas. I’m not young and naïve anymore. You broke my heart once. I won’t let you do it again.” Whew. She hadn’t been sure she’d actually be able to say those words aloud.
His hands dropped to his sides, not stopping her when she stepped away.
“Dana, we need to talk. There’s a lot you don’t know about the night I left.”
Too little too late. She needed to flee, but couldn’t think beyond this moment. She wanted this man so much it hurt, but too much pain had been suffered. She turned, shaking her head. “It doesn’t matter anymore.”
He reached for her arm.
“It does matter, damn it. At least to me.” He ran his hand through his hair. “Please stay, Dana. You’re here and this night is about our friends and their wedding. That’s the most important thing right now—being here for our friends.”
She hesitated. Damn him, he was right. She was here for her friend, even though she was really pissed at Amy for purposely leading her into this mess. Amy knew full well Dana would be a wreck, but she would deal with her friend later. She avoided Nick’s eyes and just nodded in agreement.
