Hi everyone! I’m Emma Cane, the author of A SECOND CHANCE IN VALENTINE VALLEY. Here’s a hint of what the book is about.
Steph Brissette is inching back to life after losing her husband in a tragic accident. Though her days are full, it's only in her dreams that she revisits the accident - one that she can't quite convince herself was not her fault.
Then Jeremy Chen comes back to town.
Jeremy first knew Steph as the bratty little sister of his best friend. Then, in one heartbreaking moment, she became the woman he saved - and the widow of the man he couldn't help. But can she ever look at him without seeing everything she lost?
The only certainty is that in a town called Valentine, love is always worth a second chance—which is what I abbreviated my title to for this challenge!
S is for Sexy, something the new town doctor Jeremy definitely is!
E is for Everlasting, the kind of love Steph thought she had once before and wonders if she can find again.
C is for Cowboys, like Steph’s brothers, and Jeremy hopes he can measure up.
O is for Optimistic, which is how Jeremy feels, even though Steph is denying they can be more than friends.
N is for Nosy well-meaning widows who involve Steph and Jeremy in their latest project—saving a historic schoolhouse. They make sure Steph and Jeremy have to work together.
D is for Doctor. It was always the plan for Jeremy to return from Denver and replace the retiring local doctor—but did he make a mistake?
C is for Cookies. Steph is a pastry chef, but she’s not about to appeal to Jeremy with her baking alone.
H is for Happily Ever After, which is what Valentine Valley is known for. Can the magic happen for Steph and Jeremy?
A is for Aspen, where Steph plans to compete in a fundraiser to save the local one-room schoolhouse.
N is for nervous. She has to face the mountains for the fundraiser, the first time since her husband’s death.
C is for Colorado, where Valentine Valley resides.
E is for Exploring the old schoolhouse—could the rumor of a lost manuscript by a famous author be true?
