Second Chance: From One of the UK's Best-Loved Authors, an Uplifting and Heartwarming Novel About Finding Love Second Time Around

SHORTLISTED FOR THE CONTEMPORARY ROMANTIC NOVEL OF THE YEAR AWARD In a small town in England’s beautiful county of Hertfordshire, Vita knows she must move on from her ex, Tim. But she’s finding it hard to let go and he isn’t helping. They co-own ‘That Shop’, a little gift store that would surely do better if Vita ran it like a business - not a library. On the edge of town, tree-surgeon Oliver Bourne is busy; focussed on keeping his home life calm and steady alongside his successful business. There’s no time for love: his heart remains with the mother of his child, even though it’s been three years now. When Vita moves in to a tiny cottage, there is a huge and troublesome pear tree which brings Oliver to her door. Although sparks fly between them, these could ignite something else entirely, something unexpected. As spring becomes summer, Vita and Oliver discover there are choices to make and chances to take – but will they risk it?
